Anagni Seismic - Preliminary Results

Ascent Managing Director Jeremy Eng said, "These results from the new seismic are encouraging and planning for the drilling of another Anagni appraisal well can now start. Although the work load of the Perazzoli rigs (Ascent 22.5%) remains high, as the permitting process proceeds, we would hope that we will be able to confirm the availability of a drilling unit in the near future."

The information contained in this announcement has been reviewed and approved by Eloi Dolivo, Ascent's Senior Exploration Advisor who has 28 years relevant experience in the oil and gas industry.
