ProjectInformation
Apr04,2016
Pacific Exploration & Production was formally notified of the Colombian Constitutional Court's decision instructing the Company to suspend operations within
two kilometres of the border of an indigenous community known as 'Vencedor Piriri' encompassing a portion of the Quifa Block. The community is located in
the northwest corner of the Quifa Block in the Meta Department of Colombia. Operations in this area are to be suspended until a prior consultation process
is conducted with the indigenous community.
Pacific is in the process of an orderly suspension of operations within this two kilometre border area, which impacts water injection at the Pad3 location.
The Company has implemented contingency plans so as to not materially affect the production from the Quifa Block. The Company does not expect a
material decline in aggregate production during the suspension period, which will last for approx. ten weeks.
