                     Romania Well Plugging and Abandonment



The Company announces that it has completed the drilling of its second planned
exploration well, RBN-3, in the Barlad Concession in Romania, where the Company
holds a 100% working interest. The RBN-3 well was drilled to a total depth of
1116 metres but after logging, it was considered that no commercial hydrocarbons
were present and accordingly the well is now being plugged and abandoned. The
well was intended to evaluate primary targets in the Sarmatian formation and a
secondary target in the Eocene formation.
