The Colombian Oil Minister has said the Rubiales heavy oil field in Colombia may contain 500m barrels of oil (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601086&sid=axW5d3J_0bgE).
The joint operator of Rubiales - Pacific Rubiales Energy (PRE) has, in a recent investor presentation talked of Oil in Place of nearly 4.2bn barrels for Rubiales/Piriri. Moreover, PRE has recently signed a MoU to pilot the use of "STAR" technology to improve the fields recovery rate from ~15% to up to ~50% (http://www.pacificrubiales.com/common/uploads/1248222702-Corporate%20Presentation%20July%202009.pdf Corporate Presentation July 2009 Pages 13 & 14).
The significance of this to Emerald Energy is if a 50% recovery rate could be achieved in Capella, it would make it a very valuable field indeed.
