("President" or the "Company")
Operational Update
President Energy (AIM: PPC), the energy company with a diverse portfolio of
energy assets provides an update on its drilling operations in Salta,
Argentina and workover in Louisiana
Highlights
· Well DP-2003 has reached target depth
· Encouraging data from mud logs
· Electric logging to take place over the Christmas period with
results expected before new year
Salta drilling
Drilling of the DP-2003 well has reached target depth of 3,228 metres with
encouraging mud log data obtained whilst drilling.
Electric logs, which offer much greater and accurate information and analysis,
will be run over the Christmas period with results expected to be announced
before the New Year.
Subject to successful results of the electric logs, the well will then cased
and the rig will move to an adjacent location to drill DP-2002. On current
estimations, subject to the above and all factors being equal, this is
projected to spud by mid January.
The workover rig to complete the new well is being mobilised from the Neuquén
Basin and is due to commence work in Salta in or about the third week of
January.
Louisiana
Due to continued down hole issues out of President's control, it has now been
determined to plug back the well and perforate the next oil bearing interval
which had live oil shows in the logs and cores taken at the time of drilling
the well. Due to holidays combined with the continued pandemic in Louisiana
where only 50% of the population has been vaccinated this will now take place
at the start of January. The previous post workover production prognosis
remains valid.
