1. GENERAL
ZONES field was discovered in 1973 with the Exploration well ZONES 1, and the appraisal well ZONES 2. 9 wells were drilled
during the first drilling campaign in 1976/77 (Ba-03 to Ba-11). The development of the Carbonate Gas Reservoir was completed
in 1982 with the drilling of last 3 wells. Since its initial development in 1976, ZONES has produced over 1.13 TCF. Currently,
the gas production is trough the Compression System.
At this time fifteen wells had been drilled, 13 of which are producing, one (ZONES 1) was shut-in and abandoned to prevent
water production and other (ZONES 10) had been abandoned due to mechanical difficulties during drilling operations.

The only one Formation Top clearly defined according with Geology information is the ZONES Limestone
7.3 INTERMEDIATE 1 HOLE REQUIREMENTS 12-1/4” Hole – 9-5/8” casing at 8500-9000’ MD Section Required
Subsurface Formation Damage issues The old ZONES wells have historical information about stimulation
needs. The well is being considered to drill with MPD techniques to
minimize formation damage and drilling fluid losses in the Pay zone.
