The well will now be plugged and abandoned and the rig temporarily released pendingΒ evaluation of the well and integration with existing 3D seismic.
Aminex has a 10% beneficial interest in the WEEMΒ concession through its shareholding in AminexΒ Petroleum Egypt Ltd. and Aminex's share of explorationΒ of costs is carried by other partners through to first commercial production. AminexΒ thereforeΒ has no financial exposure until commercial hydrocarbons have been established.
