 LOCATION
Cusiana Field is located in the Llanos Foothills, 150 miles northeast of Bogota,
Colombia. The true vertical depths for the hydrocarbon reservoirs discovered are
typically beyond 10,000 ft (TVD) with in-situ pressures and temperatures higher
than about 5,500 psi and 250 F, respectively.

 STRATIGRAPHIC COLUMN
The geological setting is characterised by
high horizontal stresses, steeply dipping
beds, numerous faults and alternating

 DISCOVERY AND EARLY LIFE

Discovered in 1988
• Assosiation contract Satiago de las Atalayas. Ecopetrol, BP, Total,
Triton.

1990
• the Cusiana-1 well tested significant volumes of condensate gas in the
Mirador formation

1991
• the Cusiana-2A well became the first in the deep Colombian Foothills
Belts to have penetrated the entire Mirador, Barco and Guadalupe
reservoir intervals.
 DISCOVERY AND EARLY LIFE

1993

• Joint contract for explotation between BP and Ecopetrol

1993-1997

• High productions rates, the maximun was 300.000BOPD

1997-2004

• It was noticed that the production rate fell because of the high
depletion of pressure

• The complex fluid behavior involved has an important bearing on the in-
place volume determination and on field development planning.
