Operational update
Field development operations are progressing well at the Athena oilfield, in which Lochard has a net 10% interest. It is expected that oil production will commence in late December 2011.
In addition, interest in the Company's Thunderball prospect, in which Lochard has a net 90% interest, has been very encouraging. The data room has been open from 4 October 2011 and has been visited by numerous UK and international oil and gas companies, some of which have expressed an interest to engage in commercial discussions to farm in to this prospect.
