Helios
1. The Company's next step is to drill out the bridge plug currently sealing Stage #1 in Helios 5-52 16-22. This operation is targeted for Q3 2018. In Stage #1, Highlands deployed a fresh water clay hydration completion aimed to create swelling-related cracks and permeability over a multi-month process. If this test is successful, this will go some way to validating the project.
