According to reports in early-June 2019, GeoPark has completed the Jauke 2 deeper pool wildcat (DPW) well on its 100%-held Fell block with gas discovery after the well flowed 5,900 Mscfg/d in the Tobifera Formation during production testing. The well reached its total depth (TD) of 2,952 m (9,685 ft) in March 2019, after it was initially spudded in January 2019 as an outpost well to appraise the Jauke 1 gas discovery in the shallower Springhill Formation that was made in 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.  Background Information    GeoPark is the first and largest non-state controlled oil and gas producer in Chile and began operating the Fell block in 2006. Most hydrocarbons in the block are produced from the conventional Lower Cretaceous Springhill Formation and Pliensbachian to Callovian Tobifera Formation, or unconventional tight gas from Paleocene-age Zona Glauconitica Formation.
