Total Hit Upon Gas Deposit
The discovery strengthens Total's position
France?s oil giant Total discovered a significant gas deposit in Bolivia, 300 kilometers south of Santa Cruz. The Group entered on this permit in March 2003.
Drilled to a depth of 5,150 meters, the Incahuasi X1 exploratory well tested at more than 1 million cubic meters of gas per day through a 44/64-inch choke. It is the first discovery on the Ipati permit. The well and its potential are currently being appraised.
Total Exploration & Production Bolivia, a Total subsidiary, operates the Ipati block with an interest of 80%, while Argentina's Tecpetrol owns the remaining 20% interest. The two companies are also partners in the adjacent Aquio block, under the same terms.
