The company has started operating the gas compressor at the CX-11 Corvina platform to re-inject the associated gas and thus avoid gas flaring.
BPZ is now in the process of reopening the Corvina oil wells that were shut-in due to gas flaring restrictions.
BPZ president and CEO Manolo Zuniga said that the Corvina oil field is the company’s first field on commercial production.
"We are currently working on the future development of Corvina, and committed to installing the required gas re-injection equipment at Albacora so we may bring our second oil field into commercial production by year end 2011," Zuniga said.
