OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
l 12 wells were drilled in the first 6 months this year compared to 10 wells in the same period last year, of which:
o 5 wells drilled in China (PetroChina - 3; Green Dragon Gas -1; other - 1), compared with 3 wells drilled in H1 2016 (all for Green Dragon Gas)
o 7 wells drilled in India for Essar (2016 H1: 7 wells, all for Essar)

Randeep S. Grewal, Chairman and Chief Executive of Greka Drilling, commented:
"I am very pleased to report a well-balanced performance in China and India. Our well-executed dual country strategy has been successfully implemented. The contracted services from both countries' state-owned enterprises CNPC and ONGC are recognition of the niche CBM drilling expertise and technology within Greka Drilling. The foundation is in place to expand from in years to come."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
We are very pleased to see that the service sector in China and India has turned the corner following three years of stagnation. Both governments' steadfast support for the development of CBM resources is the catalyst to enable the revitalisation of the sector of which Greka Drilling stands to be a natural beneficiary as the only CBM drilling specialist in both jurisdictions.
During the six months under review, the Company made progress in several areas including attaining more drilling contracts, improving performance and efficiency. As a result, I am pleased to report H1 revenue increased 28% to US$3.6 million and losses decreased to US$1.4 million, a 75% reduction compared to the same period of last year with gross margin rising to 19%.
The Company spud the first well for PetroChina Huabei in February under the 5 horizontal wells drilling contract with a value of US$2 million signed in November 2016. To date, five wells have been successfully completed, while an additional sixth is currently being drilled. The client's satisfaction with our advanced rig technology and experienced crews, was well demonstrated by two new drilling contracts this year. These two drilling contracts have an aggregate value of at least US$2 million.
Furthermore, in India, in addition to the completed 7 wells for Essar, the Company has been awarded a Letter of Award (LOA) for a three-year drilling contract by Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Limited ("ONGC"). Under this contract, the Company will drill 73 wells over the next three years using our state-of-the-art rig which has a proven track record of drilling in similar geological conditions. The project, which remains subject to contract and to the issue of a performance bond, will entail the provision of drilling and mud services along with the provision of associated equipment and is estimated to generate total revenues of US$15 million over the three-year period. We expect to spud the first well prior to year-end.
Among the significant number of state-owned drilling companies, Greka Drilling stands out as the only independent foreign drilling contractor sustainably providing services within the CBM sector in China and India to the state-owned CNPC and ONGC. The contracted drilling services are recognition of the niche drilling expertise within the Company.
I look forward to providing further updates of the Company's continued progress.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The consolidated unaudited interim financial information set out in this report is based on the consolidated financial statements of Greka Drilling and its subsidiary companies (together referred to as the "Group").
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union except for IAS 34. The financial statements of the Group for the 6 months ended 30 June 2017 were approved and authorized for issue by the Audit Committee and the Board on 26 September 2017.
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies that are consistent with the December 2016 financial statements and the same policies are expected to apply for the year ended 31 December 2017. The financial information for the six months to 30 June 2017 does not constitute audited accounts of the Company or the Group. The comparative financial information for the year ended 31 December 2016 in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts for that year. The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified and did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis.
Basis of preparation
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial information is presented in United States dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars (US$'000) except when otherwise indicated.
The consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the AIM Rules for Companies and in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union. The consolidated financial information has been prepared using the accounting policies which will be applied in the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.
The preparation of consolidated financial information in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial information are disclosed in note 2 to the financial information in the 31 December 2016 annual report. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision only affects that period or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
3. REVENUE AND SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
The Group determines its operating segment based on the reports reviewed by the chief operating decision-makers ("CODMs") that are used to make strategic decisions.
The Group reports its operations as two reportable segments: the provision of contract drilling services in the PRC and India. The division of contract drilling operations into two reportable segments is attributable to how the CODMs manage the business. Intercompany eliminations and corporate balances are included in the "other" column.
Drilling services revenue and management services revenue represent the net invoiced value of contracted drilling services and management services provided to two major customers, one in the PRC (who is a related party) and the other in India.
