(Energy Analytics Institute, Aaron Simonsky, 23.May.2019) — YPF plans to conduct two lateral drilling operations near 4,000 meters and carry out some 80 staged fractures in each operation.
The first one has already begun to drill at the Schlumberger-operated Bandurria Sur and the other will be in Loma Campana, reported online media Río Negro, citing comments from YPF Vice President Pablo Bizzotto.
“Loma Campana will be carried out in two phases since we are going to increase the activity level to five drilling teams,” Bizzotto said.
