RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:From Joe Part of the answer is timing. We need to prepare a new pad to get the best results from the horizontal wells. The new pad requires regulatory approvals, environmental studies, etc. We hope to have a new pad ready for mid-March 2024.
Our plan is to drill 3 initial horizontal wells and review results. If we are comfortable that the horizontal wells are the best economic way forward, we will be drilling further horizontal wells in 2024.
The 2024 drilling program is fluid. With good results at Carrizales Noroeste, Baquiano or Mateguafa Attic our budget could be expanded. For the majority of 2024 we will have two rigs running. We are looking at scenarios where a third rig is also deployed.
Hope that helps.
Joe
