據石油世界期刊3月10日報道，厄瓜多爾國家石油公司（PetroEcuador）3月9日表示，該公司計劃在明年完成鉆探活動后，提高伊什平戈-坦博科查-蒂普蒂尼（Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini即ITT）油田的原油產量。

該公司總經理Gonzalo Maldonado在一份聲明中表示，ITT油田位于亞馬遜東部Oriente盆地的油田，預計2021年日均產量為6萬桶，今年將在Tambococha鉆井8口，2022年將在Ishpingo鉆井72口。

據PetroEcuador公司稱，該公司計劃明年在Ishpingo安裝兩臺鉆機，目標是每口井日產600-3000桶原油。該公司迄今已在ITT油田鉆探了168口井，截至3月份，該油田的日產量為59471桶。

Maldonado表示，ITT項目包括在Tiputini的一個8萬桶/天的加工廠，目前已完成76%。我們正在確定一些預算參數，以便在2021年和2022年繼續演習，我們將繼續以對環境負責的政策攜手發展這個項目。

占該國原油產量80%的PetroEcuador公司去年12月份的平均產量為411057桶/日。然而，厄瓜多爾2020年全年的原油總產量平均為479250桶/天，下降9.5%，由于為期三個月的全國新冠疫情封鎖和管道關閉。

PetroEcuador to increase drilling at its ITT's Amazon oil fields to boost output

PetroEcuador aims to boost crude production at its Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini oilfields after completing a drilling campaign next year, the state company said March 9.

The ITT fields in the eastern Amazon Oriente Basin, expected to average 60,000 b/d in output during 2021, will see eight wells drilled in Tambococha this year and 72 wells in Ishpingo in 2022, general manager Gonzalo Maldonado said in a statement.

PetroEcuador plans to install two drill rigs at Ishpingo next year with the aim of producing 600-3,000 b/d of crude per well, according to the company. The ITT fields, where the firm has drilled 168 wells to date, were producing 59,471 b/d through March.

The ITT project, which includes an 80,000 b/d processing plant at Tiputini, is 76% complete, Maldonado said.

"We're defining some budget parameters to continue the the drill campaign in 2021 and then in 2022," he said. "We'll continue to develop the block hand-in-hand with environmentally-responsible policies."

PetroEcuador, which accounts for 80% of the country's crude output, produced an average of 411,057 b/d in December. Ecuador's total crude production for the full-year 2020, however, averaged 479,250 b/d, down 9.5%, due to a three-month nationwide COVID-19 lockdown and to pipeline closures.
