nse-a4 development well update

I would guess that poe/cvn may provide a production test result on this well tomorrow (tuesdays being their usual reporting day in any given week) and as it has been 2 weeks now since the statement below was lodged advising that "This operation has now been completed".

NSE-A4 development well (CVN 40%)
The NSE-A4 development well had originally reached a total depth of 787 meters TVD after penetrating the top of the target volcanic reservoir at 730 meters TVD. Severe mud losses were experienced while drilling, indicating the most extensively fractured reservoir section encountered in any well to date. While setting the 4.5” liner, an obstruction was encountered in the hole, just out of the casing window, making it impossible to complete the well. As a result,the 7” casing was milled out and set deeper prior to kicking off into the main volcanic target zone. This operation has now been completed.

While drilling the main volcanic target severe
mud losses were encountered once again, in addition to live oil to surface while reaming below the 7” casing shoe. At the present time the hole is being conditioned to set a 4.5” liner and complete the well for production.
