Dear Eng. Aguillon;
A series of bottom-hole reservoir fluid samples were collected from the subject well on
June 26, 2010 by Core Laboratories representatives. The samples were received by our
Pencor Advanced Fluid Studies Laboratory in Houston, USA on September 14, 2010.
Initial sample validation and quality control procedures commenced upon receipt, and the
laboratory received approval to perform the Reservoir Fluid / PVT study on the selected
sample on September 23, 2010.
The final report containing the data for the completed laboratory study is presented in the
following pages.
It has been a pleasure to be of service to VETRA Exploración y Producción Colombia S.A.
Should any questions arise or if we may be of further service in any way, please do not
hesitate to contact us.

Summary of Analyses Methods
Sample Validation
The visual bubble point pressure at reservoir temperature, and free water content, were
measured as initial quality checks for each bottomhole sample. The visual bubble point is
obtained by charging a small volume of sample to a PVT cell, and quickly lowering the pressure
until the first gas bubble is observed. The results for the two samples showed good agreement.
The sample is checked for the presence of free water, which is drained and the volume
measured. The entrained water content was determined by Karl Fischer titration.
Based on the sample evaluations, cylinder no. 818386 was selected for full PVT analysis.
Heat Treatment
The selected sample cylinder was heated to the reservoir temperature of 203 °F prior to
subsampling to avoid potential wax deposition problems and ensure representative sample
transfers at all stages of testing.
Pressurized Fluid Composition
Approximately 25 cc of pressurized fluid was flashed to atmospheric pressure at 120 °F and
separated into its respective gas and oil phases. The evolved gas and residual liquid were
analyzed separately, using gas-liquid chromatography and recombined on a weight basis to
produce a C36+ weight percent composition.
Gas Compositions
Gas compositions were measured using a "one shot" Varian 3800 gas analyzer using method
GPA 2286. The gas chromatograph utilizes 3 columns to clearly identify all the eluted
components from N2, CO2 and C1 through C11+.
The chromatograph is calibrated weekly using air and synthetic hydrocarbon gas with a known
composition. The resultant calibration data is checked statistically against previous calibrations
prior to performing analyses on unknown samples.
Liquid Composition
Residual / stocktank liquid composition were measured using a Varian 3600 chromatograph.
The gas chromatograph utilizes a cold on column, "sandwich injection" technique to ensure that
a representative sample is injected and swept onto the column. The sample is run twice; first
the original fluid and then the fluid spiked with n-tetradecane. This allows the laboratory to take
into account any heavy end (C36+) losses that may have occurred during the chromatographic
run, and make an accurate correction prior to reporting the liquid composition. The data
obtained from the gas chromatograph is in weight %. Calculations to mole% and the plus
fractions properties are described later.
The chromatograph is checked daily, using a gravimetric n-paraffin mix containing a range of
pure components from C8 through C36 and a synthetic gas-oil mix (D2887) with a known
composition. The resultant calibration data is checked statistically against previous calibrations
prior to perform analyses on unknown samples.

Summary of Analyses Methods, continuation
Calculation of Mole% Compositions and Plus Fraction Properties
The residue or stocktank liquid whole sample molecular weight and density are measured using
a cryscope and a PAAR densimeter respectively.
The mole% data is calculated using GPSA mole weight and density data, where individual
components are identified from carbon dioxide through decanes. Katz and Firoozabadi data are
used from undecanes through pentatriacontanes. The residue mole weight and density values
are calculated so that the pseudo average mole weight and density are the same as the
measured values. This can lead to anomalous residue mole weights and densities where the
Katz and Firoozabadi values may not be suitable for the isomer groups detected.
Constant Composition Expansion
A portion of the reservoir fluid sample was charged to a high pressure visual cell at reservoir
temperature. A constant composition expansion was carried out during which the bubble point
pressure at reservoir temperature, and pressure-volume data for the single phase and two
phase fluid, were determined. The density of the single phase fluid was measured via an Anton
Paar® high-pressure densitometer connected directly to the cell at 5000 psig. Density data for
other pressures were calculated using the data from the pressure-volume relationship.
Differential Vaporization
The differential vaporization test was carried out in a high pressure visual cell at reservoir
temperature. Beginning with the fluid sample in a single-phase state above the measured
saturation pressure, the pressure was lowered to the first depletion stage pressure and
thoroughly equilibrated. The evolved gas was displaced from the cell and its volume,
compressibility, gravity and molar composition were measured. This process was repeated at
successively lower pressure stages until the last stage was reached. The final stage was
carried out at atmospheric pressure when the residual liquid was pumped out of the cell and its
volume, density, molecular weight and composition were measured.
Separator Test
A single-stage separator test was carried out using a pressurized test separator cell. A portion
of the recombined reservoir fluid sample was charged to the cell and stabilized at the pressure
and temperature required for the first stage of separation. The gas evolved was pumped out of
the cell and the volume and composition were measured. The final (stocktank) stage was
carried out at atmospheric pressure and 60°F and the density and composition of the residual
liquid were determined.
Reservoir Fluid Viscosity
Live-oil viscosity was measured in an electromagnetic viscometer at reservoir temperature.
Viscosity determinations were carried out over a wide range of pressures from above the
reservoir pressure to atmosheric pressure.
The measurements were repeated at each pressure stage until five or more results agreed to
within 0.5%. The densities, obtained from the constant composition expansion and differential
vaporization tests, were used in the calculation of viscosities in centipoise.
