Spudding of the Fourth Well of Phase-III-Extension Development Drilling Campaign in the Oil Producing Kharsang Field

Jubilant is pleased to announce that KPL-3E-2, the fourth well of the six well Phase-III-Extension development drilling campaign in the oil producing Kharsang Field, was spudded on 17 May 2013.

KPL-3E-2, located in the southern part of the field, located down-dip with respect to KSG#54 and KSG#55, is being drilled as an infill development well with the S-00 reservoir sand layer as primary objective and M-00, Q-00 and T-00 sand layers as secondary objectives. The well is planned to be deviated by approximately 589 metres to the south-east from well KSG#6 and will be drilled to a target depth of approximately 1,580 metres Measured Depth("MD") and 1,450 metres True Vertical Depth ("TVD").

The third development well of the current campaign, KSG#67 (previously referred to as KPL-3E-6), which was spudded on 20 April 2013, was successfully drilled to a revised target depth of 1,050 meters MD and 1,028 metres TVD on 2 May 2013. Based on the results of wire-line log interpretation, drill cuttings and formation pressure data from the Reservoir Dynamic Tester, four potentially hydrocarbon bearing sands have been encountered in the well with a total net pay of 19 metres, out of which three appear to be oil bearing with a total net pay of 16.4 metres. The company will be testing the sands and, assuming positive test results, expects to put the deepest oil-bearing sand on production soon. A further release will follow regarding the actual tested rates. The KSG#67 well will be tested with the smaller capacity work-over rig, which has already been mobilized to the site.

GeoEnpro Petroleum Ltd., a joint venture between GeoPetrol and Jubilant Enpro (a member of the wider Jubilant Bhartia Group), is the operator of the Kharsang Field. Jubilant holds a 25 percent interest in block through its subsidiary, Jubilant Energy (Kharsang) Pvt. Ltd. The other members of the consortium are Oil India Ltd. and GeoPetrol.
