WELL TEST REULTS FROM GUINEA BISSAU
Sterling Energy, the AIM listed (symbol: SEY) independent oil & gas exploration
and production company, notes the announcement made earlier today by Premier Oil
plc ('Premier Oil') about the Eirozes-1 well in Guinea Bissau, reproduced below.
Extract from the Premier announcement:
'The Eirozes-1 well has been drilled to a total depth of 2,252m. The well
encountered Albian sandstones as prognosed. However, wireline logging has been
completed and indicates the well has not encountered any significant
hydrocarbons. The well is now being plugged and abandoned.'
Sterling has a 5% interest in the Esperanca permit on which the well was
drilled.
