- The first of two wells testing gas prospects onshore in Bulgaria have spudded today


- The Staro Oryahovo South R-1 will drill to a TD of 1,800m to test a submarine fan target of the Eocene age in the Kamchia Basin. Estimates are for gas of between 20 - 30Bcf. Drilling should complete by end of September


- Upon completion of the first well, the rig will move 5km south and Shkorpilovtci South West R2 location. The well will test turbidites of the Eocene at a depth of 800m. Resources are also estimated at 20 -30Bcf


- In Hungary the Tiszavasvari-6 well reached a TD of 2,893m encountering 50m net pay in a 200m column. The low net/gross interval may require fracturing
