Touchstone Exploration has made a significant oil and gas find at its onshore Cascadura-2 exploration well in Trinidad and Tobago, the Canadian E&P player announced on Thursday.
The well was drilled on Tuesday to a total depth of 2,170 metres, halting prior to the planned depth of 2,530 metres to preserve a substantial pay section.
Openhole logs and drilling data suggest a total sand thickness of around 160 metres in the targeted Herrera formation.
The well is being cased, with production testing scheduled for Q3 2024.
