3 Santuario Block, Mature Fields South Region 1. General Description of the Block 1.1 General Description EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Santuario Block contains three oil fields, Santuario, El Golpe and Caracolillo. The fields belong to the Pemex Exploration and Production (PEP) investment project Golpe Puerto Ceiba and are managed by the Bellota Jujo Asset of the Southern Region (RSUR) of PEP. Geographically the block is located in the Salina del Istmo Basin, on the West side of the state of Tabasco in Southeast Mexico. It is positioned north of the morphotectonic depression, known as Istmo de Tehuantepec, and West of the city of Comalcalco, in the state of Veracruz. Figure 1 Geographic location of the fields Santuario, El Golpe and Caracolillo 3

6 Santuario Block, Mature Fields South Region 1.2 General Properties of the Reservoirs The Santuario Block is made up of three fields, Santuario, El Golpe and Caracolillo. The sediments in these fields are structurally compartmentalized and separated by a system of main faults. Sand packages of different thicknesses, separated by shale layers at average depths between 2,500 to 3,600 meters are identified in the three fields..

A total of fifty six (56) sand reservoirs (23, 25 and 8) are identified in the three fields respectively in the Upper Concepcion, Encanto and Filisola geologic sections. The majority of production from these three fields has been from the Upper Concepcion. The top is the Filisola formation which is one of the producing formations. 1.3 Geological Characteristics The geological type in the area of the fields is made up by the following formations: Pleistocene, Plio Pleistocene formation Paraje Solo, Pliocene formations Filisola, Upper and Lower Concepcion and Encanto. The Upper Concepcion formation stands out with ideal characteristics for hydrocarbon reservoirs. The sediments are from the Tertiary age and fifty six (56) separate sand bodies with hydrocarbon potential have been identified in the Upper Concepcion formation, which is the largest contributor to the production. These sands are separated by shale beds and are from a deltaic front system deposited as submarine fans in continental slope basins. A regional study was completed with the objective to define the geological Tertiary plays. In a broad way the study integrated geological information, geophysics, paleontology, and available production data. It 7

8 Santuario Block, Mature Fields South Region was processed in such a way that the results opened a new horizon and provide guidelines for a coherent exploration of the area. The architecture of the three fields consists of a system of normal faults oriented SW NE with dip to the NW with the corresponding antithetic faults dipping to the SE. The fault pattern at the regional level follows the same SW NE general orientation of the system of faults at El Golpe, Tuplico and Castarrical fields. The continuity of the fault system at Santuario, El Golpe, Tupilco and Castarrical suggests the presence of a regional mega structure, which according to its location relative to the Comalcalco fault, corresponds to a regional anticline structure, collapsed in a crest type rollover. At a regional level the Tertiary fields are located in the Comalcalco basin and are part of the SW NE structural trend containing Santuario, El Golpe, and other fields in the trend such as Tupilco and Castarrical fields. 8

9 Santuario Block, Mature Fields South Region Figure 4 Location of the fields in the regional tectonic context The Santuario field is managed by the Bellota Jujo administrative Asset of the Southern Region (RSUR) of PEP. It is located in NE portion of the state of Tabasco and geologically in the Comalcalco sub basin part of the tertiary basins of the SE of Mexico and is part of the structural trend of the Santuario, El Golpe, Tupilco, Castarrical and Caracolillo fields. The Block area is limited to the East by the Salina del Istmo basin and to the West by the Akal high. The Comalcalco basin was affected by compression during Middle Miocene and Early Pleistocene, known as Chiapaneco event. During the Middle Pliocene and Pleistocene there were tensile and salt tectonic events that originated the intense faulted structures. The structural stratigraphic features were defined by correlations and are made up of eleven (11) main faults that confirm the tensile fault environment that compartmentalized the Santuario field. From the hydrodynamic point of view all faults are sealing faults and act as cap rocks. Through lateral lithologic distribution and the interpretation of electrofacies it was possible to establish the environments of sedimentary deposition which are primarily made up of a NE SW channel, bordered by sand bars. All environments are part of a deltaic depositional environment.

It is located in NE portion of the state of Tabasco and geologically in the Comalcalco subbasin of the Salina del Istmo basin which is part of the tertiary basins of SE Mexico. The Comalcalco subbasin is adjacent and to the North of the Mesozoic producing area of Chiapas Tabasco. The geological fault of Comalcalco, a regional fault with strike NE SW and that dips to the NW, separates the two areas. Another parallel fault to the Comalcalco fault seems to separate the Comalcalco sub basin from the 9

10 Santuario Block, Mature Fields South Region Salina del Istmo basin. These two large faults probably are the limits of the Comalcalco sub basin, which shows an expanded Tertiary stratigraphic section. The limestone reservoirs of the Cretaceous period that are producers in the Chiapas Tabasco area, may be present in the El Golpe but at lower depths. Geologically the field is part of the structural trend of the Santuario, El Golpe, Tupilco, Castarrical and Caracolillo fields that include broad structures with normal faulting. The field is a local homocline structure with a NE SW orientation detached by a system of normal faults with NE SW strike. Structurally the field is divided into several blocks that that contain several producing reservoirs. The most important accumulation is located in the central portion of the structure. The geological model of the El Golpe field obtained from the interpretation of 2D and 3D seismic is consistent with the geological model from wells. There is an evident relation between the producing zones of the field.

It is located in NE portion of the state of Tabasco and geologically in the Comalcalco subbasin. It is part of the tertiary basins of SE Mexico and is part of structural trend of the Santuario, El Golpe, Tupilco, and Castarrical fields. The structural deformations of the sediments of the Upper Tertiary were originated during the Miocene and Plio Pleistocene by the tectonic events known as Chiapaneco and Cascadiano which, together with salt tectonics, made up broad intensely faulted structures. It is part of parallel structures that regionally show up in the Comalcalco fault and where the influence of salt domes created independent block separated by faults. The local structure is homoclinal with flanks affected by faults. The trap is structural.

The surface control connections, preventers and tree used during drilling operations have a capacity of 5,000 lbs/sq in. The average temperature and pressure of the reservoir ranges respectively between Celsius and 250 to 500 kg/cm2 of pressure. 11

12 Santuario Block, Mature Fields South Region 1.5 Social and Environmental Conditions The current condition of the surface area of the fields in the Santuario Block is modified due to the replacement of the original vegetation by productive human originated (anthropogenic) activities of the last few years. The predominant vegetation now is pastures and agricultural products for autoconsumption. The predominant activity in the area occupied by the field is cattle ranching and therefore the soil shows, in general, a certain level of physical biotic degradation of the habitat and there are very few representative communities of native flora and fauna due mainly to the displacement and destruction of natural habitats occurred in the recent past due to human activity. The strict compliance to certain recommendations, listed below, will assure timely and full completion of the operational programs of the exploitation plan to be proposed and will reduce the associated risks generated by socio political conflicts making more feasible the development of the Carrizo field reactivation project. The recommendations are: mitigating measures, the compliance to established legislation, sticking to safety measures, protection and conservation of the environment, the maintenance programs, the policy of zero discharges and the application of programs of sustainable development for the communities through early management and fair and satisfactory negotiations. From a socio economic point of view, the re activation of the Santuario Block is expected to cause a great positive impact that will benefit the local economy with the hiring of local labor for services and the utilization of low qualified personnel. 2 Development of the Block 2.1 Seismic 2D and 3D The Santuario block is geologically located in the Tertiary Basins of the Southeast. It belongs to the Salina del Istmo sedimentary basin which, together with the other sub basins located in coastal plateau of the Gulf of Mexico (Burgos, Tampico Misantla, Nautla, Veracruz, Papalopan, Comalcalco and Macuspana) belongs to the larger basin of the Gulf of Mexico which is of the passive marginal type. The tectonic history of the basin is related to two (2) major events: the Laramide orogeny that occurred at the end of the Mesozoic forming the characteristic NW SE folding of carbonates and the Chiapaneca orogeny (Miocene) that caused mobilization of salt intrusions and the dolomitization of the carbonate sequences. 12

The first phase of development, between 1966 and 1972, is characterized by the drilling of 87 wells, a maximum production rate of 21,600 bpd of oil and 29 mmcfd of gas was reached in From 1974 oil production declines and water cut increases (Figure ) 19

20 Figure Historical production behavior for the field El Golpe The Santuario field was discovered in 1967 with the drilling of the Santuario 1 well drilled to the depth of 3614 meters and produced oil and gas from the Upper Concepcion formation in the intervals 2, and 2,864 2,872 meters. The first phase of exploitation of the field, between 1967 and 1978, was marked by the drilling of 35 wells producing at a maximum production of 10,200 bpd of oil and 7.6 mmcfp of gas in During the period of 1978 to 1983 oil production declined and water cut increased. The production increases from workovers cannot stop the production decline till During the period new workovers were completed to raise production. Later production declined till 2008 when a new drilling phase was started till 2010 and production increased to 6,200 bpd of oil and 3.4 mmcfd of gas (Figure 2.5.2) 20

21 Figure Historical production behavior for the field Santuario The Caracolillo field was discovered in 1969 with the drilling of Caracolillo 2 well that reached the depth of 2,850 and produced oil and gas from reservoirs of Miocene age, Upper Concepcion formation, in the interval 2, meters. The field was developed between 1969 and 1972, initially to the SW of the discovery well. Maximum production rate of 2,218 bpd of oil and 2.13 mmcfd of gas was reached in From 1973 production begins to decline until it reaches 52 bpd and 0.13 mmcfd. In June 1992 production stopped. The cumulative production as of January, 1993 was 3.96 mmbls of oil, 5.53 mmcf of gas and 24.0 mmbls of water. Field is currently shut in (Figure 2.5.3) 21

22 Figure Historical production behavior for the field Caracolillo 2.6 Infrastructure Facilities Below is the description of the facilities, processes and destination of oil and gas production. Collection Systems: are made of up of pipeline network and surface facilities such as peripheral and general collection wellheads, well lines, oil and gas pipelines of group and of measurement. Processing Systems: are made up of separation batteries, storage tanks, pumping and compression units. At the batteries is performed the separation of gas from liquids, the gas rectification and oil stabilization. The fluids (gas, water and oil) from the wells and collected in the Collection Systems arrive to the batteries heads where they are distributed to the measurement systems or to the separation units. 22

23 The production infrastructure of the Tertiary fields has an average age of 30 to 40 years, but during the last 10 years it has been optimized to manage the available production. In El Golpe and Tupilco fields, the old batteries (Mecoacán, El Golpe I and Tupilco II), the compression stations (Mecoacán, Tupilco II and Santuario), and the pipeline system were all dismantled. The wells that fed the batteries El Golpe I and Tupilco II became peripheral wellheads that send their production to their respective batteries. Because of the reactivation of mature fields of the Tertiary no other facilities are planned for dismantling. With the exception of the well lines, which are being plugged, the dismantling is done where possible or it is left as is in a way that it does not represent a risk. The production network of the Tertiary area is made up of five (5) separators (Santuario, El Golpe II, Tupilco I, Castarrical and Tintal) from which oil is taken for treatment, conditioning and commercialization to the El Golpe dehydration plant. The gas is separated in the Castarrical, Santuario, Tupilco I and El Golpe II batteries, from where it is sent to compression stations El Golpe and Castarrical, where it is compressed and used as fuel to run the compression equipment, motor pumps and the pneumatic pumping network of the El Golpe and Castarrical fields.

From the head the fluids are sent to a 20,000 barrels dehydration tank, where the formation water is separated and sent for treatment for later injection to dump (disposal) wells. The oil is sent to two 500 barrel tanks. Later it goes to heaters and to an electrostatic vessel, where finally the dehydration of the oil is done. In the balance tank the main pumps suck the dehydrated oil and send to Terminal of Dos Bocas using a 10 pipeline of 34.3 km. 26
