Volga Gas provided an update on well Uzenskaya #3 in the southern sector of the Karpenskiy Licence Area. Well #3 was an exploration well targeting a Jurassic structure close to the Uzenskaya field which was discovered by Well#1. An interval between 989.5-1011.3 meters was tested. The well flowed at an equivalent of 353 cubic metres of light oil per day (~2,000 bbl/day) in drill stem test. Testing confirmed the horizon's excellent permeability. Management believes that the well will produce at not less than 375 bbl/day once brought in to production.

The well is currently being hooked in to the existing Uzenskaya facilities. It is expected that commercial production from this well will commence in a month.

Well Uzenskaya #4 has been spudded based on 3-D seismic and has been designed to confirm the extent of the field.

Mikhail Ivanov, Chief Executive of Volga Gas commented: "We are delighted with the new discovery. The well indicated good permeability and produced good quality oil. Uzenskaya #4 will provide us with further information on the extent of the field."
