Cuban Oil Production On Course

HAVANA, Cuba, March 12 (acn) Oil workers in the wells of Matanzas have extracted 205,000 tons of the crude in the first two months of this year, nearly 9,000 tons more than in the same period of time, in 2008.

At this rate, workers expect to obtain, for the 15th time, more than a million tons and to increase the current daily production average per well (21 tons), reported Radio Rebelde on its website.

The Cuban well drilling and repairs enterprise working on 160 active wells along the north coast of the province of Matanzas has a rate of exploitation of more than 98 %, the international average for the crude that is processed is about 95 to 96 percent.

The company, whose office are based in Boca de Camarioca, is involved in the challenge of drilling a 6-km long horizontal well out to sea for the first time without the help of foreign experts or without using a sea platform. This represents important savings of foreign currency to the
island.
