Cub Energy Inc. reports the Makeevskoye-16 (M-16) exploration well in Ukraine has been cased to its total depth ("TD") of 4,300 metres after encountering multiple potential gas-bearing zones. The well is operated by KUB-Gas LLC ("KUB-Gas"), a subsidiary in which Cub has a 30% ownership interest.

Makeevskoye-16

The M-16 exploration well reached its revised total depth of 4,300 metres on 28 November 2012 and has now been cased to TD. Completion and testing of the well will occur in the first quarter of 2013.

The well encountered multiple zones which appear to be gas-bearing based upon drilling information and interpretation of wireline logs. Potential gas zones were encountered in the Moscovian, Bashkirian and Serpukhovian sections of the well.
