While the discovery in the Bomu 1 well of gas rather than oil was disappointing, the reservoir sands and traps were, by and large, encountered as expected. Further technical and commercial evaluation of the discovery and the other prospects on Block 2 is underway. The JDA has granted a six month extension to 14 September 2010 to allow Sinopec to complete these studies and to allow the participants to make a properly informed judgment on whether to enter the next Exploration Phase with its commitment of one well. Four other wells were drilled in the JDZ, three in Block 4 and one in Block 3, simultaneously with Bomu 1. We believe that the JDA may also grant extensions for these blocks allowing the common operator, Sinopec, to integrate the studies on a regional basis to the benefit of the JDA and participants.
