A production test over the subsequent two days suggested that the well is flowing at 335 barrels of oil and liquids per day and 1.2mmcf/day of natural gas, for a combined rate of 530boe per day.

To date, approximately 60% of the load oil has been recovered and the well is expected to flow without artificial lift, and be tied in by 1 September 2010.

Base has earned a 22.5% working interest in this well and the related section under an earlier announced farm-in agreement.

Planning is under way for the third and fourth earning wells in the South Pembina project, which are expected to be drilled in the fourth quarter of this year.
