据钻机区2019年12月16日卡尔加里报道，总部位于卡尔加里的加拿大Touchstone勘探公司日前在特立尼达和多巴哥共和国（特多）获得了其称之为“重大的”陆上石油发现。

Touchstone勘探公司周一宣布了其在特多Ortoire勘探区块的Cascadura-1ST1井内获得的这个重大石油发现。

Touchstone勘探公司表示，套管井电缆测井结果表明，在1374英尺厚的粗砂层下，该公司钻遇了1037英尺厚的重大潜在产油层。

Touchstone勘探公司首席执行官Paul Baay在公司声明中称：“这口发现井的结果远远超出了钻探前的预期。这口勘探井不仅是Touchstone勘探公司的重大发现和里程碑，而且我们相信这口发现井也为特立尼达岛未来的陆上钻探作业奠定了一个新的开发阶段。在新的一年里，我们预计将独立测试每一个区块以便更好地了解预期油砂的经济潜力，如果结果是积极的，该公司将在该地区确立一个广泛的开发钻井项目。”

Touchstone勘探公司表示，该公司预计在2020年第一季度完成并测试Cascadura-1ST1井。

Touchstone Makes Oil Discovery Onshore Trinidad

Calgary-based Touchstone Exploration Inc. has made what it’s calling a “significant” onshore oil discovery in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.

The company announced the find Monday with its Cascadura-1ST1 well on the Ortoire exploration block.

Touchstone said cased hole wireline logs indicated significant prospective oil pay of 1,037 feet from 1,374 feet of gross sand.

“The well results far exceed any pre-drill expectations,” Touchstone CEO Paul Baay said in a company statement. “This well is not only a significant discovery and milestone for Touchstone, but we believe it also establishes a new development stage for onshore drilling in Trinidad. In the new year, we expect to test each zone independently in order to better understand the economic potential of the prospective oil sands, and if the findings are positive, it will set up an expansive development drilling program in the area.”

Touchstone said it expects to complete and test the Cascadura-1ST1 well in the first quarter of 2020.
