PetroNor Reports Production Increase from Congo Infill Drilling Campaign
PetroNor E&P has reported improved production from its Congo operations following the successful completion of five infill wells in the Tchibouela East area of the PNGF Sud field complex.
Fourth quarter average net working interest production was 4,608 barrels of oil per day, compared with 4,116 barrels per day in the previous quarter and 4,759 barrels per day in the fourth quarter of 2024. Production efficiency remained at 91%, matching the third quarter performance.
As of early December, the jack-up rig Axima completed the five infill wells in Tchibouela East, and all have been put on production. The wells exhibit excellent reservoir properties and collectively contributed a gross December production incremental of above 6,500 barrels per day, resulting in a gross 2025 exit production rate for the PNGF Sud complex exceeding 32,000 barrels per day, or net 5,400 barrels per day.
The company lifted and sold 540,000 barrels of entitlement oil in November and is building inventory available for sale at a rate of 100,000 barrels per month. An additional lifting is expected during the first quarter of 2026.
