INTERIM DRILLING ACTIVITY ANNOUNCEMENT
Three cores have been taken over the main reservoir targets, Beds V & VII, in Well 1 on Caspian’s Ashvaz licence. Cores 2 & 3 intersected the reservoir targets which indicated live oil over sections of a 6m interval (~627m to 633m). There is potentially 2.0m of net pay with porosity ranging from 8-20%. The porosity is described as interfossiliferous and fractured displaying “common bright yellow & bluish fluorescence, with bright white bluish streaming cut and hydrocarbon odour”. The well has reached target depth of 740 metres and it is planned to run wireline logs on Friday 26 October before making a final decision on whether to case the well for pump testing at a later stage.
