The drilling has reached a total depth of 4,000ft and intends to target a depth of 10,000ft which will enable the appraisal of any reserves that may be present in the five hydrocarbon bearing sands that were encountered while drilling the EB-4 well.

The sands’ fluid contents were not conclusively determined during the drilling of EB-4, as they were not the primary targets of that drilling program.
