Message: WARRO 3 – FLOW TESTING UPDATE 3

Looks like they still have a way to go yet to achieve the estimated 6 mmcf/day.

--------------------------

The Warro 3 flow test has run uninterrupted over the past 10 days and the well continues to produce substantial gas flows from the 40/64ths choke, between 1.8 to 2.1 mmcfpd. In addition, the well is now recovering condensate of approximately 11 barrels per day.


The well is still recovering fluids into the wellbore, which is restricting the gas flow rate to this current level. The fluid flow rate continues to drop and is currently down to 400 barrels per day, with the gas to water ratio continuing to gradually
increase.


The Operator has maintained a choke size of 40/64ths over the past week to maintain the optimal flow stability during this phase of the testing program. The gas flow rate is expected to increase significantly once the fluid recovery ceases
and the choke size at the well head is increased.

Following a 6 hour shut in on Friday for wellhead maintenance, the well flowed at 2.79 mmcfpd immediately upon recommencement of flow testing at the same choke (40/64ths), after which the flow rate returned to the average rates
achieved for the past week. The effect of the shutdown was to temporarily increase the pressure and reduce fluids in the wellbore. This temporary increase in the flow rates is very encouraging, as it demonstrates that even a partial reduction of water in the well bore produces higher gas flow rates.

The Operator plans to run a production logging tool (PLT) over the reservoir section on Tuesday June 2 to evaluate the gas rates from each of the 7 fracture stimulation zones and to identify the source of the fluid in the wellbore. It is
possible that the well is tapping a small aquifer. If so, the production logging will identify the location of this water source and help determine how this zone could be sealed off. Alternatively, as the water flow rate is gradually declining an
extended flow testing period may be the preferred option to flush out the water.
The results of the production logging will determine the next course of action for the testing program and a further update will be made at that time.
