3 January 2012 Rabalais 35 No.1 Drilling Update Turner Bayou Chalk Project

The Turner Bayou project is a significant part of Pryme's exploration portfolio and comprises approximately 80 square miles (50,000 acres) which have been imaged by a proprietary 3D seismic survey. Primary targets are the Wilcox formation at 12,500 feet, the Austin Chalk at 15,300 feet and the Eagle Ford and Tuscaloosa Marine Shales at 16,000 feet. Pryme has approximately 9,600 net acres within the Turner Bayou project covering all depths representing up to 30 potential drilling locations in the Austin Chalk alone.

The Rabalais 35 No.1 well in the Turner Bayou Chalk project continues drilling horizontally within the Austin Chalk formation at a vertical depth of approximately 14,850 feet (4,525 metres) and a measured depth of 19,793 feet (6,030 metres). Approximately 70% of the planned 7,000 feet (2,130 metres) lateral has been drilled. Drilling of the well commenced on 10 November and completion is estimated to be achieved later this month. The targeted total measured depth is approximately 22,000 feet (6,705 metres). The operator is Anadarko E & P Company.
