In August 2022, the average daily operated production from fields in Argentina and Colombia combined decreased by 48 boepd representing a decline of less than two percent compared with July. This is explained by some operational changes in Argentina especially in the Santa Cruz operation.

In Argentina, a slight decrease in production rate was recorded in the Santa Cruz fields where the Oceano Field accounted for most of it. This is due to an ongoing gas compressor enhancement project which involves replacing its gas fuelled engine with an electrical one, and which means that Interoil will benefit from connecting to a new power generation unit already working in the Oceano Field. This field work is expected to last to the last week of September.

In Colombia, Puli C production increased from the previous month, especially in the Mana Field where some minor surface tie-in lines have been cleaned by removing internal paraffins and asphaltenes. In the Llanos area, Vikingo production flows remained stable following its natural depletion rate. The exploration campaign in Altair and LLA-47 blocks remains on hold and pending approval from local authorities. Conversations with the ANH concerning the formal approval process are ongoing.
