President Energy - Argentina – material growth continues

President Energy is an oil and gas company with a diverse portfolio of operated onshore assets that is focused on growing production in Argentina in the near term. Management is targeting end-2019 production rates of around 5,000boepd from existing assets (from current rates of 2,700boepd), supported by ongoing drilling together with an active operational programme planned for H219. Further growth is expected through acquisitions in Argentina, with the addition of the Puesto Prado and Las Bases concessions adding critical mass in the Rio Negro Province, due by the end of the year. High-potential exploration opportunities are due to be drilled in Argentina and Paraguay in 2019, with farm-out processes underway in both countries.
