COMPANY UPDATE
Texas
Range Resources Limited ("Range" or "the Company") would like to announce a
further update on the Company's US Gulf Coast interests.
As previously announced the production facilities are in place, with the flow
line and connection to the sales line now being installed in readiness for
imminent first production.
Pumps have been running continuously over the past few days draining the
surface water next to the facilities to allow for the successful installation
of the flow line to the sales line. Whilst the water has been drained work crew
have been welding the flowline together in 500 ft sections on the well/tank
location (which is now built up and dry). With the water drained the work crew
will be preparing trenches for the laying of the flowline and connection with
the sales line.
Following the tie up, next stages will include commercial sales, production
rates, independent reserve report and drilling of the second development well
scheduled for April 2010.
Georgia
The seismic acquisition program is progressing well with the seismic contractor
having completed the majority of the mountainous and elevated acquisition. To
date approximately 220kms has been completed, with approximately 140kms
remaining. Given the majority of the remaining kms to be acquired is on the
lower ground, it is envisaged that the total program will be completed towards
the end of March 2010.
Figure 1 - Seismic Acquisition Program (red = completed / yellow = planned /
blue = optional) - please see website for picture.
The Company will continue to provide further updates on the progress of its
portfolio of assets.
For and on behalf of the Board
