Borders & Southern reports results from its Stebbing well. The well 61/25-1 was drilled to a total measured depth of 3060m (true vertical depth of 3011m). The well penetrated the upper Tertiary target on prognosis but was unable to reach lower targets due to anomalous pressure conditions. The lower targets remain unevaluated.

The well encountered very strong gas shows (C1 to C5) whilst drilling the Tertiary section. Petrophysical analysis of the wireline logs suggest an interval (2500m to 2651m) of thin bedded siltstones and claystones with a net to gross of 36% and an average porosity of 19%.
