AIM quoted Empyrean Energy PLC today announces that a program for testing the
primary Hosston Formation target in the Sugarloaf-1 well has been accepted by
the Joint Venture and is anticipated to start within two weeks.
A zone with indications of gas interpreted from wire-line logs and gas shows
during drilling is planned to be tested by high density perforation of the
production casing over selected intervals in the lower part of the well.
Subject to results the program could be amended, including extended flow testing
of zones, but is expected to take up to two months to be completed.
The information contained in this announcement was completed and reviewed by the
Technical Director of Empyrean Energy Plc, Mr Frank Brophy BSc (Hons) who has
over 40 years experience as a petroleum geologist.
