Frontera Resources Corporation announced that T-45, the first well of current three well drilling program at the company's Taribani Complex of Block 12 in Georgia, has now been drilled to a target depth of 2,700m, in the Eldari Formation. The company confirmed that during drilling it has observed multiple oil and associated gas shows, notably: Oil stained cuttings observed from 2,460m - 2,475m (Zone 13). Formation gas kick was encountered at 2,535m (Zone 14). This associated gas influx reduced the heavy drilling mud weight from 2.0 SG to 1.85 SG, indicating a highly charged hydrocarbon formation. Formation associated gas was detected at surface while drilling through an observed clean sandstone interval from 2,565m to 2,575m (Zone 14). Significant oil and associated gas shows recorded between 2,630m and 2,650m (Zone 15). A major associated gas kick occurred at 2,633m resulting in a reduction of mud weight from 2.02 SG to 1.85 SG. Hydrocarbons flow back operations were initiated and a surface fluid flow rate of 383 bbls per day was recorded (with heavy drilling mud in the wellbore) and a calculated 7,500 psi bottom hole pressure. Elevated background gas with significant connection gas peaks was also encountered while continuing to drill through Zone 15 to a depth of 2,650m. Intermittent oil shows with associated gas continued from 2,650m - 2,654m. Significant oil and associated gas shows recorded from 2,685m to 2,695m (Zone 15). Within this interval, a major associated gas kick occurred at 2,692m with a calculated 7,800 psi bottom hole pressure.
