Amerisur posts April production and throughput data

South America-focussed oil and gas producer and explorer Amerisur Resources provided its unaudited production from the Platanillo Field and throughput data from the OBA pipeline for the month of April on Tuesday.

The AIM-traded company said total production was 145,344 barrels of oil during the period, with average daily production reaching 4,845 barrels of oil per day.

Peak daily production was 5,280 bopd during the period, the board said.

On the OBA pipeline, total export volume was 139,515 barrels of oil during the period, with average daily throughput of 4,650 barrels of oil per day.

Peak daily throughput on the pipeline was 5,027 bopd during the period, Amerisur’s board reported.

“The above data will vary month on month as development, appraisal and exploration operations continue, and also due to the factors involved in operating in the Putumayo region of Colombia,” the company’s board cautioned in its statement.

“These factors include inclement weather, social issues with drilling and oil transportation and planned and unplanned shut downs for technical works undertaken, among others.

“This data has not yet been approved by the Colombian Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos or national customs and tax authorities DIAN and may be subject to revision.”
