GLOBAL ENERGY DEVELOPMENT PLC
("Global" or the "Company")
OPERATING UPDATE
Global Energy Development PLC, the Latin America focused petroleum exploration
and production company (LSE-AIM: "GED"),has been granted an extension by the
Colombian National Hydrocarbons Agency ("ANH") for the drilling of the Tilodiran
4 development well located within the Rio Verde contract.
Under the terms of the previously agreed Development Plan, the Tilodiran 4 well
was required to be drilled with total depth being reached by mid December 2010.
The Company now has a six month extension to this deadline which will allow
additional planning time. As previously advised, it was not anticipated that
the Tilodiran 4 well would contribute to production in 2010.
The additional time will allow the Company to seek the most efficient and cost
effective way to drill the Tilodiran 4 well, and also potentially allow the
drilling of the Tilodiran 5 development well immediately after with the same
rig, with this well being the next well in the Company's previously announced
Three Year Plan.
The Tilodiran 4 development well is classified as a proved undeveloped location
and is currently intended to be drilled directionally from an existing Tilodiran
well platform which will reduce civil works costs and simplify property right
issues.
