RNS Number : 1165X Caspian Energy Inc 19 June 2008 NOT FOR RELEASE, DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA OR JAPAN 19 JUNE 2008 CASPIAN ENERGY INC. ("Caspian" or the "Company") Final Results of First Well in Post-Salt Drilling Program TSX: CEK AIM: CEK Caspian Energy Inc (the "Company"), an oil and gas exploration company operating in Kazakhstan, today announces that Aral Petroleum Capital LLP ("Aral"), in which the Company holds a 50% indirect interest, has reached a total depth of 2,521 metres and logged its first exploration well, Baktygaryn ž703, in its post-salt drilling program. The well has been determined to be a dry hole and is being prepared for plugging. Baktygaryn ž703 The vertical well, Baktygaryn ž703, was designed to test sandstone reservoirs in both the Triassic and Upper Permian in traps created by one of the several Permian Kungurian salt ridges running through the North Block. The well reached a total depth of 2,521 metres in the Permian salt without encountering reservoir quality rocks in the Permian section. Based on the presence of strong seismic reflectors, the Upper Permian target had been interpreted to be potential sandstone reservoirs trapped below the overhang of a salt wing. However, upon reaching the interpreted depth of these seismic anomalies, the well instead encountered alternating layers of claystones and anhydrites. Whilst electric logging has confirmed the absence of reservoir sands, it has also revealed the presence of high quality Triassic sands with porosities averaging 22% over 169 metres (net) of sandstone. The location of the vertical wellbore, however, was chosen to primarily target the Upper Permian seismic anomalies and even though the well encountered reservoir quality sandstones in the Triassic it intersected the reservoirs in a down dip position. The presence of these reservoir-quality sands in the Triassic supports the interpretation that the Triassic is a viable primary target in the area. New Prospects The Company remains confident on the remaining targets in its post-salt drilling program. As Baktygaryn ž703 was the only prospect associated with what was interpreted as a salt overhang and was also the deepest well on the prospect list, the prospectivity of the remaining targets is not affected by the results of Baktygaryn ž703. Following the rig release it will be moved to Aransay ž711 to drill for a direct hydrocarbon indicator seen in the seismic in the Triassic above a salt ridge. The total depth of this target is approximately 700 metres which the Company expects will be reached within approximately 15 days. Commenting on the programme, Charles Summers, President and COO of Caspian said: "Whilst we are disappointed in the results of well ž703, it was good exploration target and needed to be drilled. However, as the other post salt wells are geologically independent of this well, we are confident that they still stand on their own merits".
