Interoil Production Update for November and December: Adjustments and Operational Highlights
During November Interoil’s daily production volumes decreased from the figures corresponding to the previous month, mainly due to infrastructure damage caused by strong winds. However, Interoil’s daily average total operated production in December reached an equivalent production of 2,502 boepd, expressing a significant improvement of 608 boepd from the previous month. This substantial increment is mainly explained from our Argentina’s operations (+712 boepd) whereas Colombia operations decreased (-104 boepd).
Argentina Operations
In Argentina, production recovered fully from winter disruptions and grew materially from spring onwards. This notwithstanding, in November, production was affected by the impact of strong winds with gusts up to 130 km/h that caused significant disruptions, including damage to power lines that temporarily disabled electric artificial lifting systems. These issues were resolved in December, enabling a 20% increase in oil production and a 60% surge in gas production compared to November, marking the highest monthly gas production in Argentina for 2024 and the second highest total monthly production in 2024.
Colombia Operations
In Colombia, operated production monthly average figures during December accounted for 594 boepd where the Vikingo-1 well out-streamed an average daily production of 165 bopd following well repair and replacement of the well subsurface production pump. The workover rig mobilization to the Puli C Fields was delayed due to transit restrictions during year end festivities. At present, the workover rig is expected to arrive at Puli C facilities in the next few days. The Puli C well intervention aimed at recovering production, by replacing downhole production equipment, is expected to last two months.
