RE: "In advanced discussions"- " updating shareholders ASAP"25 Sep 2023 08:23
Technical activities during 2023 have been focused on further detailed interrogation of our data, to identify optimal candidate locations for Chuditch appraisal drilling, including additional geophysical work and environmental impact studies. Based on these studies, we have selected a preferred appraisal drilling location, which is approximately 4.8km from the Chuditch-1 discovery well. This represents a substantial step-out, illustrating the size of the field and our confidence in the reprocessed seismic datasets. This location is now being input into the detailed well planning programme. In anticipation of the proposed drilling of an appraisal well, the Company is in discussions with various contractors and is actively assessing the availability of suitable rigs, equipment and personnel.
