Solana Petroleum Corp - Solano to launch Colombian oil operation Solana Petroleum Corp SOP Shares issued 14,746,964 1998-12-29 close $0.36 Tuesday Dec 29 1998 Mr. James Taylor reports A team of internationally experienced oil executives has launched an exploration and development project in one of the most promising oil regions in the western world. James B. Taylor, former executive vice-president of Occidental Oil and Gas Corporation, is leading the team of international oil veterans planning work in two high-potential regions in northeastern Colombia, near some of the country's most prolific oil fields. Mr. Taylor is chairman of Solana Petroleum which has substantial interests in two association contracts in the Llanos basin, being finalized with Colombia's state oil company, Ecopetrol. The basin is estimated to contain up to 25 billion barrels of crude oil in place. Both areas are adjacent to producing fields and pipelines. On Jan. 14, Mr. Taylor will present the company's plans in New York to a by-invitation-only conference of oil and gas investors, the Westergaard Strain Oil and Gas Investor Conference at the Waldorf Astoria. Solana has concluded agreements to acquire a 38.125 per cent working interest in the Tapir area of the Llanos basin and a 50 per cent working interest in the Cano Caranal area, and is awaiting formal approvals of the assignments with Ecopetrol. Mohave Colombia Corporation, a subsidiary of privately-owned Mohave Oil and Gas Corporation, is the operator of both projects. Doreal Energy Corporation and Seven Seas Petroleum Inc. are partners in the Tapir project. Test results are expected in early 1999 from a well drilled in 1998 in the Tapir area. Two more exploration wells are scheduled in 1999, with drilling on the first to begin after the rainy season ends. Solana secured interests in the Tapir and Cano Caranal association contracts in the first half of 1998, as the business and political climate increasingly favoured exploration in Colombia. There are now more than 65 companies operating in the country under an estimated 100 association contracts with Ecopetrol in various stages of exploration and development. Any production established in either block will have ready access to markets. The Llanos basin is served by pipelines with excess capacity available that pass through both of Solana's blocks and end at the Caribbean oil terminal in the port city of Covenas.
