The new well #310 at the Lelyaki oil field in Ukraine was drilled to total depth of 2040 meters at the end of 2012. During January, the authorities reviewed and approved the well for testing and production. The operator has commenced testing of the Carboniferous zone. The testing period is expected to be completed within the next few weeks. Depending on the results, the operator will either start production of oil from that zone or isolate it and perforate the shallower Permian zone, which accounts for approximately 75 per cent of the current Lelyaki field production.
Shelton Petroleum has a 45% working interest in Kashtan Petroleum (holder of the license to the Lelyaki oil field) through its wholly owned subsidiary Zhoda 2001 Corporation. Ukrnafta, Ukraine's largest oil and gas company, owns the remaining 55%. Shelton Petroleum holds 100% of the Rustamovskoye license in Russia. The production data in the table above represents Shelton Petroleum’s working interest.
