As I am sure you know the below extract from the RNS (3rd Dec) is what the £5M placing was for:
Pursuant to the first phase of the development strategy ("First Phase"), which is to be undertaken during the course of the next 12 months, the Group intends to:
· Restart the two existing wells at West Rustavi, WR-38Z and WR-16aZ, to resume oil production and commence gas sales from the newly commissioned early production facility.
· Continue base production from existing wells in Block XIB, Norio and Satskhenisi.
· Drill one new well under the West Rustavi PSA ("WR-BA").
· Re-enter an existing well under the Block XIB PSA ("JKT-1") and drill a new horizontal sidetrack.
· target an initial production rate of 550 bopd at each of WR-BA and JKT-1.
· Workover of existing well WR-16aZ at West Rustavi, including the installation of an electrical submersible pump, to target increased production of oil and gas.
The two wells proposed to be drilled in the First Phase are intended to further increase production and cashflow from West Rustavi and Block XIB in order to target in excess of US$40 million net present value of future cash flows.
