Operations Update

 

FOGL, the oil and gas exploration company focused on its extensive licence areas to the South and East of the Falkland Islands, announces, further to the statement of 25 October 2012, that the necessary repairs were carried out on the blow-out preventer within the expected timeframe, and drilling has re-commenced.

 

The Company estimates it will take a further 4-6 weeks to complete drilling operations. The Company will make a further announcement at that time.

 

Tim Bushell, Chief Executive of FOGL said:

 

"Whilst this work has resulted in a two week delay to our drilling operations, safety is our number one priority and it was essential to resolve this issue before recommencing drilling operations."
