Subsequently, the MD 51-1 development well (renamed MD250 well) successfully spudded on 10 March 2016 using the rig. The well isdrilling ahead to a total depth of 4,150 feet and is expected to take fourto five weeks to reach target depth. The MD 250 well is the first development well to be drilled using one ofRRDSL's new rigs. The well will test deeper horizons of the Upper andMiddle Cruse sand trends and explore the potential of out-step drilling. MD250 is a directional well from the previously drilled MD 248 well location. The Upper Cruse sands, though penetrated by numerous surrounding wells,have not been fully exploited in this area of the Morne Diablo field. TheMiddle Cruse sands have been identified as well-developed in nearby wellswith some of those having produced in excess of 100,000 barrels from thishorizon during the well life. As previously announced, RRDSL successfully completed construction of athree-cellar drilling pad during 2015. Initially, the MD 250 well will bedrilled from the drilling pad. Drilling of further wells from the drillingpad will be evaluated dependent on the results from this well. Further three new drilling rigs of RRDSL are currently undergoingcertification and will be brought into drilling operations once approved.
