Jumonville #1 Bullseye Prospect, Iberville Parish, Louisiana, Operator 43.33% WI
The Company advises that during drilling operations on Friday (15/08/08), North America time, the Jumonville #1
topped the primary objective in the Miogyp sands as expected at 12,330ft MD and observed a strong flow into the
wellbore. After circulating the drilling mud to the surface significant amounts of light oil were observed in the mud
pits and highly elevated gas readings were recorded. The well was shut-in, a few feet below the top of the Miogyp,
to allow the removal of oil contaminated mud prior to continued drilling. This operation is being completed at the
present time.
It is expected to take approximately 18 hours to reach total depth once drilling resumes. Formation evaluation logs
will be run at that time after which production casing will be installed.
While encouraged by the oil and gas shows, it is too early to assess the significance of these shows and the
Company remains cautious. A full set of evaluation logs, completion and testing are required before the significance
of these recent events can be determined.
