Gran Tierra Energy announced an operational and financial update with a cutoff at the end of the third quarter of 2022, where it indicates that it achieved an average production of approximately 30,391 barrels of oil per day (bopd), 5% more than a year ago.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, Gran Tierra forecasts total average production of approximately 32,000 bopd.

Regarding the exploratory activities, the production tests of the Gaitas-1 well, the planning of the Gaitas-2 well and the Rose-1 well, which was drilled and cased, stood out in Colombia.

For its part, in Ecuador, the exploration of the Bocachico-1 well stood out, with ongoing production tests and the company is currently drilling the Charapa Norte-1 well.

Gary Guidry, president and CEO of Gran Tierra, commented that, during the quarter, the Polymer Injection Project (EOR) began in the Acordionero field. This pilot injection test is a milestone after several years of laboratory and modeling that indicated the suitability of Acordionero for EOR.

Guidry concluded that, on the exploration front, they advanced several prospects during the quarter. ā€œOur Gaitas-1 well in the Middle Magdalena Valley is currently in production and a second, deeper exploratory well in the field is being planned for the fourth quarter of 2022. In Ecuador, the Bocachico-1 exploratory well was cased and has started a reservoir testing program. In Colombia’s Putumayo Basin, our Rose-1 well showed encouraging results while drilling and is currently moving forward for testing.”
