Guddu License (Reti-Maru Field)

Jura has entered into a gas sales agreement for the sale of gas from the Guddu field to a consortium of four fertilizer manufacturers. The agreement provides for a sale price of $5.40/MMbtu, a 10% discount to the price prescribed under the 2012 Petroleum Policy. In exchange for the discount, the gas will not have to be treated or processed. The sale of gas is anticipated to commence later this year following (i) the execution of a gas pricing agreement, (ii) the construction of a 15 km pipeline to the purchaser's facility, and (iii) final regulatory approvals. Jura holds a 10.7% interest in the Guddu License.

Sara-Suri

Jura has successfully completed rigless operations in three wells to confirm flow rates from the previously shut-in Sara-Suri fields. The work performed included a pressure buildup survey, saturation monitoring, selective perforations, stimulation, production testing and the running of velocity string in one well. The Suri-2 well tested at 0.75 MMcf/d with a 1/4 inch choke and wellhead flowing pressure of 120 psi. The Suri-1 well tested at 0.6 MMcf/d with a 1/4 inch choke and wellhead flowing pressure of 10 psi. The Sara-1 well was shut-in after water inflow ceased gas production. Further testing is in progress to establish stabilized gas flow rates and pressures.

Jura is the operator of these fields and holds a 60% interest in the Sara-Suri Development and Production Leases.

Zarghun South

A rig has been mobilized to the Zarghun South field and operations are in progress for the recompletion of the Zarghun South-1 well. Additional work to be completed includes the installation of surface facilities and 25 MMcf/d gas processing plant. Sui Southern Gas Company Limited, the purchaser of gas from Zarghun South, has commenced construction of a 64 Km pipeline which will tie the field into the main gas grid.
