Government announces discovery of major new gas well

In late December 2020, Bolivia’s state-owned energy company Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB), announced that exploratory drilling at the Yarará-X1 well had been successful, with drill stem tests (DST) yielding very positive results pointing to the future commercial viability of the site.
