- Excellent quality, long life hydrocarbon reserves
- Excellent fiscal terms, 5% to 8% royalty on existing concessions
Over $80 MM spent to upgrade existing blocks in the last 5 years. A significant gas discovery was recently made at Esperanza
- Further development and exploration drilling to be immediately undertaken
- Highly experienced operators on non-operated blocks (Hupecol/Pluspetrol)
- Gas sale contracts being negotiated for 164 BCF Nelson field
Prospects offset large, prolific fields
