Partner Echo Energy reported on 9 July 2018 it had finished the successful drilling of the fourth back-to-back exploratory well of its campaign on the Santa Cruz I Fraccion D Block, Austral Basin. The Canadon Salto x-2001d reached 1,511 TD recording a column of over 60m of gas and light oil shows in the Upper Tobifera pyroclastic series identified by existing 2D seismic data and interpreted from logging. Over 168,000 ppm and full distribution of C1 to C5 hydrocarbons were encountered with reference to background gas levels less than 2,500 ppm outside the zone of interest. The log evaluation showed 30m of potential net pay over the 1,272-1,304m section. Final production casing is being run before completion and testing, which will be soon conducted using the Quintana 01 rig. The PTD was 1,514m and the drilling rig was the Petreven H-2015. The well targets 19 Bcfg gross best case contingent resources from a recent assessment in addition to further 18.7 Bcfg gross best case for prospective resources as indicated by Echo in a press release. Eduardo Eurnekian's CGC operates and holds 50% interest and Echo 50% interest in this block.
