Bengal Energy Ltd. announced an operations update on its Wareena workover project. Natural gas well testing operations commenced in December 2022 with both the Wareena 1 and Wareena 5 wells being reperforated and tested from the PC 20 zone. Due to surface facility fluid capacity limitations and time constraints, the Company was unable to complete testing operations.

Based on the salinity of produced water samples Bengal believes the water recovered from the wells was not formation water but completion fluids from prior work programs. Bengal intends to complete testing as soon as possible subject to equipment availability, and the Company will provide updates and test information after the conclusion of testing operations.
