Market Update

 

Further to the recent market update (October 30, 2012), Capital Drilling, the emerging and developing markets drilling Company, today provides a further update on the Group's operations, in light of recent developments in Egypt.

 

Capital Drilling have received notice from one of their larger customers, Centamin plc, that their rigs in Egypt will be stood down due to ceasing of operations at the Sukari mine. The rigs have been parked up and will remain so until Capital Drilling receives further clarification on this matter from Centamin plc.

 

Capital Drilling will keep the market updated. However, should the ceasing of operations persist this will have a substantial impact on current market consensus revenues and earnings.

 

The management team are reviewing the possible financial impact and are taking immediate actions with respect to headcount reduction and substantially reduced capital expenditure. A further financial update will be provided when the impact of the current situation has been fully evaluated by Capital Drilling.
