PEMEX suspended as an gas and condensate discovery the Valeriana 1 directional new-field wildcat (NFW) in the AE-0060 block in the onshore Sureste Basin during mid-August 2017.Â  .Â  PEMEX published on 27 October 2017 that the well tested 12.5 MMcfg/d and 1,238 bc/d from the Upper Jurassic Kimmeridgian Formation. Â Â The NFW was spudded on 2 December 2016.Â  The NFW had a proposed total depth (PTD) of 6,462 m measured depth (MD) and 6,209 m true vertical depth (TVD).Â  The Cretaceous and Upper Jurassic formations were the primary objectives. Â  The operatorâs original permit lapsed and the CNH re-approved it again on 15 August 2016. The well is a high temperature, high pressure well with temperatures estimated at about 150Â° C and pressures of 11,000 psi. The prospect size is reported to be 87 MMboe.Â  It is located in the central area of the block. The nearest well is the Nikib 1 located 6 km northwest.Â  The prospect is located along a northwest to southeast trending salt related thrusted structures.Â  The well will attempt to test the reservoirs against the salt intrusion. SENER granted the AE-0060-M-Mezcalapa-10 entitlement to Pemex 100% through Ronda 0 on 27 August 2014. The block covers an approximate area of 976 sq km. Â
