o Surface casing has been run to ~2,500', as planned
o Drilling of intermediate section scheduled to commence week beginning 25th February
Western Leases - Winx-1 Exploration Well
The Winx-1 exploration well was drilled to ~2,500' on the 20th February (AK time), as scheduled, and casing has been run successfully. The forward plan includes cementing of casing in place; a mandatory test of the blow out preventer system, drilling out cement into the 8.5" hole and performing a formation integrity test. Post these activities, drilling will commence in the intermediate section of the well, where the primary Nanushuk target formation will be intersected.

with surface casing run and cemented successfully. The State supervised inspection of the Blow Out Preventer system was completed on the 24th
Logging while drilling tools on the bottom hole assembly, combined with mud gas ratios and cuttings analysis, will provide initial insight into any potential hydrocarbon bearing intervals encountered during the drilling of the intermediate section. Additional data and analysis, including from wireline logging and potentially production testing will be required to provide more definitive results.
