Primeline Energy Holdings Inc. (“Primeline” or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE:PEH) today announces that it has commenced the drilling operations of the LS30-3-1 well.
Following the plug and abandon operation of LS23-1-1 announced on October 28, Primeline’s contractor, China Oilfield Service Ltd. (“COSL”), towed the rig HYSY 941 to the LS30-3-1 location on November 4 and successfully jacked up the rig on location on November 7. COSL subsequently completed all the necessary preparation work and Primeline obtained the operation licence. LS30-3-1 well was then spudded on November 13 and drilling is ongoing.
LS30-3-1 is located approximately 20km north of the LS36-1 gasfield platform and is targeting a large channel sand prospect. The planned total depth of the well is 1,800m, targeting the same reservoir as that of the LS36-1 gasfield. The drilling time is anticipated to be around 25 days. The drilling of LS30-3-1 is part of the 2 well exploration drilling programme by Primeline in 2015 as part of the rolling development programme anchored on the LS36-1 production.

These statements relate to Primeline’s expectation that the drilling of the LS 30-3-1 well will last around 25days. They are based on assumptions (among other things) that operation will be carried out smoothly, and that weather and sea conditions will be favourable for drilling. Although management believes these assumptions to be reasonable. Actual results may vary from those anticipated in such statements. Weather and sea conditions may change.
