RE: Follow up question1 Jul 2026 07:49
I also had a reply, gist of my e mail related to question 3 of the Q&A, this relates to radial drilling.
Jerry states while 1000% is the best case scenario punted by the contractors he feels a several fold increase is the more likely outcome, i suggested if we can double or treble production with radial drilling should we not also radial drill H1 & GOBI, in GOBIs case we know we missed the sweet spot but we also know we are not far away as the cuttings prove oil is present, also i asked whether we would be better placed "going it alone" rather than giving half our riches away.

Thank you very much for your enquiry.
As noted at our AGM, we are investigating the potential of radial drilling, with Heron-2 likely our top choice for deployment.
Regarding your comments on the farm out, the capital required for a self-funded development would require more than a small number of wells to be in production.
Although increasing individual well production through radial drilling or other methods would be lucrative in the short-term, expanding our portfolio of productive wells through a farm out is far more attractive.
Whilst we push forward with our farm out negotiations, we are actively managing our costs and focusing on lower cost and value additive activities.
Please accept our apologies for our late response.
Best wishes,
