Colombia's Ecopetrol has found natural gas in its Gorgon-1 exploratory well at depths of 27 km below sea level. The well is operated by US oil company Andarko. Positioned just between 3,675 metres and 4,415 metres from the Purple Angel-1 well, an extension of a reservoir discovered by the Kronos-1 well in 2015, Gorgon-1 opens the possibility for Colombia to develop a gas production "cluster", allowing the sharing of facilities and lowering costs, Ecopetrol said.
