Operations

Redeveloping mature fields for lasting production

PANAM E&P pursues operated and non-operated opportunities in the most prolific and strategically significant hydrocarbon basins across Latin America.

Overview

We focus on assets with strong redevelopment potential, material reserves, and strategic alignment with national energy companies

Targeted development wells in proven reservoirs to grow production while managing risk.

Waterflood optimization, polymer and chemical EOR, and gas injection to increase recovery factors.
Real-time surveillance, artificial lift, and debottlenecking to stabilize and grow output.

Working with local operators, national companies, and agencies to unlock stranded value.

Identifying near-field opportunities that expand reserves around existing assets.
Flexible participation models aligned with the strategic objectives of our partners.
