Exoma Provides Drilling Update, Australia

Exoma Energy of Australia said that its drilling operations have been interrupted due to unseasonal heavy rain in Central Queensland.

Relocation of EDA Rig #1 from the Alma-1 location to the site of the next well, Darr-1, has been delayed by localized heavy rains that have made the unsealed roads in the area impassable, the company said in a statement.

The rig remains on site with a skeleton crew. On present weather indications, the rig move to Darr-1 is planned to commence on 9/10 June.

Exoma plans to catch up lost drilling time in the 2012 program with the use of two rigs. The company expects to mobilize the EDA Rig#2 to the field in mid-June.
