Moftinu-1008 Well Spudded

Jersey, Channel Islands, 18 January 2021 -- Serinus Energy plc ("Serinus" or the "Company") (AIM:SENX, WSE:SEN), is pleased to announce that the Moftinu-1008 well was spudded in Romania on 16 January 2021.

Moftinu-1008 is planned to be drilled to a total depth of 1,000 metres and is expected to penetrate five gas-bearing sand formations, three of which are producing zones of the Moftinu-1007 well. Moftinu-1008 is located approximately 1.4 kilometres to the northeast of the Moftinu Gas Plant and if drilling is successful, the well will be completed, tested and brought on-production through a flowline connection to the Moftinu Gas Plant.
