BSP is planning to complete a third well on its leases further exploring the Niobrara and Codell formations. It is planned that this further well will include a full core test which will be used to plan a fracture stimula- tion and commercialisation programme for the three wells.
The third well is currently permitted and is expected to commence in the
3rd quarter of 2014 assuming the successful conclusion of future fund raising activities.
Funding for planned development programmes is currently being nego- tiated and BSP will update the market in due course as those discussions conclude.
