Planned target depth is 4, 500 feet (1,676 metres). The SL20846 #1 well is targeting multiple 'stacked' sands in the Middle Wilcox Formation.

The SL 20846 # 1 Well is the second of a planned 7 to 8 well program to be drilled in succession from the Company's jointly owned barge rig between now and June 30 2012. Successful wells will be completed and tied into the Company's jointly owned production facilities.
