History of Patos-Marinza
1928 – 1990 Patos-Marinza was first discovered by APOC (Anglo Persian Oil Co.) and developed in stages.
1990 Fall of Communism in Albania
1995 – 2004
AAP (Anglo Albanian Petroleum, a JV between Premier Oil , IFC, OMV, and Albpetrol) signed a
concession agreement, but due to contract terms, weak oil price environment and technical
challenges, the foreign partners relinquished the field in early 2004.
2004 - 2007
Bankers Petroleum negotiated and signed a new PA & LA in July 2004 and grew production from
400 to 6,000 bopd through reactivation of legacy vertical wells.
2008 – 2012
Growth of production from 6,000 to 15,000 bopd through development and delineation drilling of
new horizontal wells across 11 different reservoir zones and multiple areas of the field.
2013 - 2014
Two year average production growth of 17.5% through a strategy of primary development with
horizontal wells, validating secondary recovery techniques, and reducing costs through operational
efficiencies in the field
