Plum Deep Deeper Zones Non-Commercial. Testing of Fourth Shallow Zone To
Proceed. Moving to Drill Wilson Prospect.
* The Kindee ST 212 #1 well on the Plum Deep structure was spudded on 1
August 2006 (Texas, USA).
* The well has been completed following the electric logging and testing
programme of the deepest three zones in the sidetrack well.
* This programme has determined that the deepest three zones in the sidetrack
well are non-commercial, despite encouraging preliminary indications.
Consequently the sidetrack has been plugged and abandoned.
* A fourth shallower zone remains to be tested. This is located behind the 7
inch liner. Indications of a natural gas-bearing zone were recorded over an
approximate interval of 25 feet.
* A work-over rig will be utilised to test and evaluate this fourth zone.
This testing programme will commence within the next six weeks. The results
will be released to the market as they become available.
* The Parker 122 rig has commenced moving to the next location in the
drilling programme.
* The Kindee ST 949 #1 well will be drilled on the Wilson prospect, further
north on Padre Island.
* This well will test prospective zones in the upper Frio system This system
is different from the primary Middle Frio objectives of Plum Deep. This is at
similar depths to where discoveries have been made elsewhere on Padre Island.
These include La Playa Deep and La Playa Shallow to the north, and Dunn Peach
# 6 to the south.
* The Board of Pantheon is obviously disappointed with the results of the
testing and sampling programme. Detailed evaluation of the data gathered will
now commence. This is expected to take some time and the conclusions may
impact on the rest of the drilling programme. As a result of the time
expected to be expended on the analysis of the data from Plum Deep, near term
drilling has shifted to the shallow prospect in Pantheon's portfolio, Wilson.
