Petro-Victory Energy has successfully concluded drilling operations for the AND-5 well, in partnership with Azevedo & Travassos Energia (ATE), located in the Potiguar Basin, Rio Grande do Norte, onshore Brazil.
Petro-Victory said in a news release that drilling commenced on June 25 and concluded on July 5, reaching a total depth of 1,165 m through sedimentary and basement rock layers.
The operation utilized the Drake-2 onshore hydraulic rig, with wireline logging by Halliburton and successful installation of 7″ nominal production casing.
In the next operational phase, Petro-Victory is planning to mobilize an onshore completion rig, with the objective of acquiring special saturation logs to more accurately characterize the productive intervals. Subsequently, well testing and completion operations will be carried out to prepare the well for production, followed by tie-in to the Andorinha Collection Station.
