    well and test data 
 
  * New prospect identified to the west of Voitinel 
 
  * 2010 Seismic acquisition campaign is complete and being processed 
 
  * Preliminary data has revealed several leads in the Cuejdiu oil play, each 
    of 50-100mmbo size range 
 
  * Significant upgrade likely of Cuejdiu Licence Prospective Resources in the 
    thrust belt oil play as a result of the new data 
 
In addition, the Company has been informed by the Operator, MND, that the 
Barchiz-1 exploration well, situated in the Brates Block (Europa 20%), is 
anticipated to spud in late September. This prospect is situated close to and 
along trend with the Moinesti Oilfields and will be the first thrust belt play 
well drilled in this part of the basin based on modern seismic data. It has 
potential for up to 30 mmbo reserves and if successful is one of several 
similar leads on the Brates Licence that trend up towards the newly identified 
leads on the Cuejdiu Licence. 
 
Paul Barrett, Managing Director, said `It is very encouraging that the 2010 
seismic data is already capable of identifying structural leads even at the 
early processing stages. It bodes well for the oil play exploration programme 
in this underexplored part of the 5 billion barrel fairway.'
