East 3D Seismic Survey 39% Complete

The 1,225 square kilometre East 3D seismic survey commenced at the end of July 2007 and is approximately 39% complete. The survey crew started in the north section and is working south. The 3D area encompasses more than 20 prospects and leads identified from the 2D seismic acquisition program completed in 2006, including the B1, C1, D1 and E1-47/02 wells drilled by the Company in 2007.

The acquisition phase of the East 3D seismic survey should be completed by the end of 2007 and processed and interpreted results should be available in the second quarter of 2008. However, it is planned to process and interpret the northern section of the survey (approximately 40% of the total) by year-end 2007 to guide potential drilling in this area in early 2008.
