NG Energy's Aruchara-6 Well Lifts Maria Conchita Gas Output to 23 MMcf/d

Bogotá – October 16, 2026 -- NG Energy International Corp. expects total gross production at its Maria Conchita block in Colombia to rise to 23.0 MMcf/d from 16.0 MMcf/d after the Aruchara-6 well tested at up to 8.7 MMcf/d gross and entered production.

Aruchara-6 flows at 8.7 MMcf/d gross through the central processing facility

The well was drilled to a total depth of 9,352 feet and hit the H1 target as designed. It also passed through the H2, H3, H4, H5 and H6 zones, all of which showed gas at surface and on wireline logs. During initial flow testing through the central processing facility (CPF), Aruchara-6 produced up to 8.7 MMcf/d gross (6.96 MMcf/d net) on a 30/64 choke at an average tubing head pressure of 780 psi.

Vaalco Brings Gabon Gas Well Online, Spuds ETSEM-3PH Pilot

Houston – October 12, 2026 -- VAALCO Energy has placed the ETBNM-3 gas-supply well in offshore Gabon on production, securing enough gas for field operations, liftings and power needs and cutting reliance on higher-priced diesel.

ETBNM-3 reservoir quality exceeds pre-drill estimates

The well targets the Dentale D-15 reservoir in the crestal portion of the North Tchibala structure. Vaalco reported strong porosity and permeability and more than 10 meters of net reservoir pay, both above pre-drill estimates.

The well adds no production or sales directly. CEO George Maxwell said it should improve field uptime and could lift output from existing wells over time by displacing diesel.
