“The fourth quarter of 2017 was a landmark period for Renaissance, and LUKOIL, where the partnership embarked on the drilling of its first well in Mexico and initiated the field evaluation program at the Amatitlán block in Veracruz, Mexico. The Amatitlán drilling program has been very active into 2018, including the drilling of nine new wells targeting the shallow Chicontepec formations, of which six have recently been put on production and three are currently undergoing completion operations.

Drilling of the tenth Chicontepec well has now commenced. The operations team has incorporated new drilling and completion techniques to Mexico, thereby reducing costs and time to bring new wells on production. Renaissance has also completed workovers and repair operations on five wells of a scheduled six well workover program,” noted the president’s message.
