AGAVERO PROSPECT The operator of the Agavero #1 well has advised that the well has reached totaldepth of 1,341 metres (3,500 feet) after intersecting the target Frio V sand.Wire line electric logs have been run and petrophysical analysis suggests 5.5metres (18 feet) of gross gas pay on rock with no water from 889.4 meters (2,918feet) depth. The Operator has recommended perforation of the whole gross pay zone; the upper4.0 metre laminated sand first to evaluate its reserve potential and then addingperforations to the base 1.5 metre sand interval to evaluate overall reservepotential. Current activity is running casing to carry out testing back to back with DonaCarlota. 2. DONA CARLOTA PROSPECT Testing operations on Dona Carlota #1 should be underway in the next few days.As previously advised, wet weather and local flooding during the week has deniedaccess to the well site. Interpretation of wire line logs indicate the targetFrio 1.33 sand in Dona Carlota #1 has a gross gas zone of 13.9 metres and netgas pay of 5.6 metres over the interval 1,423.2 to 1,437.1 metres with gas onrock and no water. As with the successful initial three well program, tie in of any commercialdiscovery made on these prospects will be rapid as the project area is crossedby a number of gas pipelines with access rights and available capacity to tieinto.
