BNG Operational Update and monthly production numbers
Deep Well A8
Introduction
The Board of Caspian Sunrise are pleased to update the market
with news of developments at its flagship BNG asset.
Deep Well A8
As previously announced drilling at Deep Well 8, the fourth deep
wells to be drilled at BNG and the third on the Airshagyl
structure, paused at a depth of 4,520 meters to consider whether it
was best to continue to the planned Total Depth of 5,300 meters or
to seek to perforate the well at the levels already identified.
Agreement was reached with our drilling partner Sinopec to seek
to perforate intervals of, in aggregate, 47 meters identified from
wireline analysis and logging. The target intervals for perforation
were between depths of 4,346 meters and 4,499 meters.
The perforation work took place over the weekend of 7 & 8
September, and intervals in aggregate of 47 meters were perforated
without incident. Since then we have been gradually reducing the
density of the drilling mud and will continue to do so over the
next few days.
We are pleased to report strong initial gas shows followed by a
steady flow of oil and drilling mud, estimated at the rate of 400
litres per hour.
We expect the drilling mud to be fully recovered in the next few
days, after which we will be able to get a more reliable estimate
of the flow rates, using a selection of choke sizes.
We are also pleased to report that the oil recovered to date is
of very high quality with an API of 84.
Further updates will be issued in due course.

Comment:
Clive Carver, Executive Chairman said
"The successful perforation of A8 and the early oil shows are
extremely encouraging. However, it will only be after an extended
flow test that we will be able to publish reliable flow rate
data."
