Carnarvon Energy Limited provided an update on the Pavo-1 well that is currently being drilled in the WA-438-P exploration permit. Progress and current operations: The Pavo-1 well had drilled to around 3,282 metres Measured Depth ("MD") in the 8 ½" hole before operations were suspended while the drilling rig was down-manned and the well made safe due to cyclone activity in the area. The well intersected multiple sands within the Caley to Crespin reservoirs, with logging while drilling tools indicating porous and permeable reservoir intervals with similarity to the Dorado reservoir.

Elevated gas readings and increased resistivity were observed between 2,944 metres MD and 3,001 metres MD indicating the presence of hydrocarbons. The drilling rig has now returned to full manning levels and is preparing to re-commence drilling and logging operations. Forward plan: Upon re-commencement of operations, the well will be conditioned to run wireline operations while being deepened to approximately 3,600 metres MD to investigate the Milne and Dumont members.

An extensive wireline program will then be run over the Caley and Crespin reservoirs, where logging while drilling and surface gas readings indicated the presence of hydrocarbons in reservoir intervals.
