Block 4077 - Konya
-- Testing on Gulhanim-2 ("G-2") gas and oil discovery well to commence imminently
-- G-2 contains three separate potential hydrocarbon-bearing zones
-- Enzyme chemical compounds (designed to improve reservoir conditions) are onsite - testing to begin shortly following application of chemicals
-- Pilot gas bottling (CNG) plant being constructed and expected to be ready to bottle gas for sale to enable rapid monetisation in Q3
-- Onsite equipment will enable separation of oil for sale to refineries
-- Construction of pipeline expected to commence in Q4 2011
-- On completion of testing of the G-2 well the rig will move to Karapinar-2 for work-over operations
Block 4396 - Hatay
-- Hamam-1 well drilled to 855m - encountered three potential gas bearing sands
-- Net pay of 15m between 642-777m in Miocene sandstones
-- Initial flow test on a 28/64 choke tested up to 3.5 million cubic feet per day
-- Confirmed as a commercial gas discovery
-- Gas is sweet/dry composition with approximately 94-97% methane
-- Initial test production has commenced at up to 100,000 cubic feet per day for bottling onsite
-- Construction of pipeline tie-in expected to commence by Q3 2011
-- Strategy to develop field initially for shallow gas production and ultimately to explore the deeper significant potential for gas and oil
-- Scheduled to start Yesiltepe-1 well workover operations by end of June
Block 4395 - Hatay
-- Drilling operations in Kastal-1 are underway to reach target depth of 650m to test shallow gas potential

Competent Persons Report
A Competent Persons Report is currently being carried out by Senergy across the three Hatay Blocks and Block 4077, and is expected to be completed in June.
Nigel Little, Chairman of Niche commented,
"Having first invested in Oman Resources just twelve months ago, it is a remarkable achievement to be producing, or about to produce, from two wells on separate blocks. Oman Resources now has both an immediate cash generative potential and, more importantly, significant upside from further exploration, targeting both shallow and deeper hydrocarbon bearing formations on all four blocks."
