The well reached its total depth (TD) of 2,952 m (9,685 ft) in March 2019 after it was spudded in January 2019 to appraise the Jauke 1 gas discovery well from August 2018.  The Fell block covers approximately 1,506 sq km of onshore land in the Magallanes Basin.  According to reports in late-2018, GeoPark planned to drill two wells on Fell block as part of its 2019 work program. In addition, the company also plans to test an unconventional oil project on the same block in the Estratos con Favrella Formation shale.
