SUMMARY OF DRILLING AND WELL OPERATIONS Yemen As previously reported the Bayoot-7 basement development well in Block 53 was put on stream 12 February and is now producing at 160 bopd. Spud date for Bayoot-8 basement development well in Block 53 was 26 February and drilling operations are progressing as planned. The total depth of the well is scheduled to 3907 m, of which 670 meters is planned as an open hole reservoir section in fractured Basement. The Nabrajah-10 S/S2 well was completed as production well in Block 43 in January and brought on stream for clean-up and test production. The well confirmed movable oil 186 m vertically deeper than Nabrajah-5 , which has produced from the same reservoir for more than 4 years. Alternative options for improving oil production and recovery from the Shuqra formation are being evaluated. Drilling of the appraisal well Yaalen-3 in Block 47 is expected to commence in ultimo March. Kurdistan Testing of the Erbil-2 well with Sindi-1 rig was completed in March. The preliminary results confirmed only oil in the upper Najmeh reservoir, initially testing in the order of 200 bopd of 12-14 API oil. The well is now suspended and the rig has returned to Tawke. Evaluation of all test results will be presented in an updated appraisal program and a forward plan for the Erbil license will be filed with the Ministry of Mineral Resources (MNR) by June this year. Great Wall Rig-10 is still novated to Heritage and the rig is expected to return to DNO end July 2010 for drilling of the Summail-1 exploration well in the Dohuk PSC.
