Melbana Energy Limited (ASX: MAY) (Melbana) is pleased to provide this update on preparations for its appraisal well program in its Block 9 PSC area onshore Cuba (Melbana 30%).

As previously advised2 , the start of Melbana's appraisal well drilling program was delayed due to its drilling contractor undertaking another work program nearby in Cuba.

The second (and final) well of this other work program commenced last weekend, upon completion of which the contractor advises it will mobilise directly to commence drilling of Melbana's first appraisal well, designated Alameda-2.
