San Leon Energy (the 'Company'), the AIM listed company focused on oil and gas exploration and production in Europe and North Africa, announces that the Rawicz-15 well has been successfully drilled to a total depth of 1580m MDBRT (Measured Depth Below Rotary Table), and a completion has been run in preparation for well testing. The rig is currently being demobilised. The reservoir to be tested is of a thickness consistent with the prognosis although the reservoir is interpreted as being of slightly better quality than that in Rawicz-12.

The Rawicz-15 development well on the 742 km2 Rawicz Concession in Poland's southern Permian Basin, was spud on 18th November 2015 using a rig from Poland's Exalo Drilling. The well, which is operated and funded by Palomar Natural Resources ('PNR'), will now undergo a full well testing programme which is expected to commence in around 2 weeks' time.
