Castilla Oil Project is an operating onshore conventional oil project in Meta,Colombia,in the Llanos Orientales Basin. The project is operated and fully owned by Ecopetrol SA and is associated with the Cubarral block. The field was discovered in 1969 and production started in 2000. Castilla is a major heavy crude oil asset in Colombia and produces the Castilla Blend export grade.
Ecopetrol is the sole operator and owner. The company took over direct operation of the Castilla field in 2000. Ecopetrol reported that after it assumed operation,production increased by more than 500%. In 2010,the field reached a record production of 100,000 barrels of crude per day. Planned investment for that year exceeded US$600 million and included approximately 60 new development wells.
Recent developments include the Castilla solar park,which Ecopetrol reported in its first-quarter 2023 results will supply part of the field's power demand and reduce carbon emissions. The U.S. Energy Information Administration has noted Castilla as a maturing field where infill drilling has been used to maintain or increase output. Current project-level production figures are not publicly confirmed.
