BOGOTA, COLOMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 8, 2011) - Petrominerales Ltd. ("Petrominerales" or the "Company") (TSX:PMG) (BVC:PMGC) advises that groups of persons are illegally blocking public roads near Corcel and Guatiquia, which has led to a lack of public order in the area.
On the evening of September 6, 2011, small groups of people began illegally blocking roads near Corcel and Guatiquia. These persons are not employees or contractors of, or associated in any way, with Petrominerales. These blockades and the actions of those involved have resulted in a lack of public order which impacts Petrominerales' operations in the area. Petrominerales has taken all precautions necessary and acted prudently to ensure the safety of our staff and contractors, including releasing all non-essential personnel from the applicable areas.
As a result of these measures, a temporary production halt has been initiated on certain wells located on our Corcel and Guatiquia Blocks. We estimate that approximately 15,000 barrels of oil per day are currently shut-in as a result. We will continue to take all necessary measures to maintain the safety of our personnel and contractors and to limit any potential damages.
