SECOND LEIGHTON WELL (TYLER #1) UPDATE


Global Petroleum Limited ('Global' or 'the Company') is pleased to announce that Texon Petroleum Limited (ASX: TXN) have advised that the second Leighton well (Tyler Ranch #1) has reached its total depth.


The target oil and gas reservoir was encountered as predicted with a gas show of over 2,000 units on the mud log over a 20-30 foot (6-9 metre) interval.


The oil and gas productive zone in the first Leighton well (Peeler #1) is 26 feet (8 metres) thick and also had a gas show of over 2,000 units when drilled.


Electric logs will now be run in Tyler Ranch #1 to investigate the physical properties of the reservoir which will indicate if the gas represents a potentially productive interval in the well.


Global has now earned 15% Working Interest in the Leighton project.
