Roxi Petroleum provide an operational update on its flagship BNG asset.

Roxi has a 58.41 per cent interest in the BNG Contract Area, which already has three wells at South Yelemes part of the Contract Area. Well 54 is a Soviet era well that was re-entered in 2010 and Wells 805 and 806 were drilled in 2010. Testing of these wells was delayed pending changing farm-in partners.

Following the $40 million equity commitment secured in January 2013 Roxi decided to test these wells. On 18 February 2013, Well 54 produced at a daily rate of 219 bopd with a 2mm choke. On 14 February 2013, Well 805 produced at a daily rate of 120 bopd using a sucker rod pump. Both these wells are now producing from the Jurassic formation.
