Providence Resources Plc, together with the High Island A268 partners, announces first production from the A1 well at the High Island A268 development in the Gulf of Mexico, offshore Texas. The A1 well was drilled in January 2007, and its successful drilling result initiated the fast-track development of High Island A268.

First production from the A1 well commenced on 9th September, and comes shortly after the A2 well achieved first production last week. With the AI and A2 wells both producing, the initial development phase of High Island A268 is now complete.

Providence holds a 5% interest in High Island A268 and the field is operated by Peregrine Oil and Gas LLC.
