Onshore Concession L53 (Pan Orient Energy (Siam) Ltd., in which Pan Orient has 50.01% ownership)
Pan Orient Energy Corp. announce that Concession L53 oil sales averaged 2,631 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”) in May 2019, marking the highest average monthly oil sales ever achieved in Concession L53.
Oil sales averaged 704 BOPD in April 2019 and 3,259 BOPD during the first four days of June 2019.
Realized oil prices (non-volume weighted) during the first five months of 2019 averaged US$62.17 per barrel, representing a 6.3% discount to the Brent crude oil reference price and a 7.5% premium to West Texas Intermediate crude oil reference price.
L53-DD3 Well Testing
On May 17th the L53-DD3 well was perforated 4.7 meters in the BB sand and production from the commingled DD/EE and BB sands commenced on May 18th. From May 19th, when the well "cleaned up", to May 23rd when it was shut-in, production from the commingled DD/EE and BB sands averaged 800 BOPD of 23 degree API oil with a BS&W of 14%. On May 24th five meters of the CC sand were perforated and a temporary bridge plug was placed above the DD/EE sand, isolating the DD/EE sand which will be produced from this well at a later date. Production from the commingled BB/CC sand has averaged 1,054 BOPD of 23.2 degree API oil with a BS&W of 8% since the well stabilized on May 30th, to June 5th. Test results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Future decline rates and recovery factors will be determined to a large extent by whether or not aquifer support is present, and to what degree, in each of the producing zones.
Concession L53 2019 Drilling
Preparations continue towards a one to two well exploration program in the near vicinity of the L53-DD oil field from the existing L53-DD well pad. One exploration well and one appraisal well will also be drilled from the existing L53-B well pad. Drilling is anticipated to commence in August 2019.
A second three to four exploration well drilling campaign, focused in the region of the L53-DD oil discovery, is expected to commence in late 2019 to early 2020.
