Thursday June 26, 9:10 am ET
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 26, 2008 -- Challenger Energy Corp. ("Challenger") (CDNX:CHQ.V - News)(AMEX:CHQ - News), along with its partners Canadian Superior Energy Inc. ("Canadian Superior") (Toronto:SNG.TO - News)(AMEX:SNG - News), and BG International Limited ("BG"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the BG Group plc (LSE:BGL.L - News), announced today that they are in the process of wireline logging the "Bounty" well on Block 5(c) offshore Trinidad at an interim total depth based on a zone of interest indicated by logging-while-drilling data and mud logs. Wireline logging operations are underway, and initial wireline logging results have shown approximately 200 feet of pay in a well developed sand interval that the logs indicate is hydrocarbon bearing. Following the completion of current wireline logging activities, drilling is expected to resume targeting further objectives in the well, with flow testing of the zone logged to date planned once the well reaches total depth. Logs received to date indicate very encouraging hydrocarbons in the drilled section of the well, prior to Challenger's projected TD of approximately 18,000 feet subsea.
The "Bounty" well was spudded on February 20, 2008 on a separate prospect from the "Victory" natural gas and condensate discovery announced on January 14, 2008, and is located approximately 2.2 miles from the "Victory" well. The "Bounty" well is being drilled by the KanTan IV semi-submersible rig as the second well in a three-well program. The "Endeavour" well is expected to be spudded in August as the third well in the program.
