Range Resources Limited / Miscellaneous New well spuds in Trinidad Range is pleased to advise that approval for the new 4,000 m drilling rig has been granted to RRDSL (a wholly owned subsidiary of LandOcean Energy Services Co., Ltd). Subsequently, the MD 51-1 development well (renamed MD 250 well) successfully spudded on 10 March 2016 using the rig. The well is drilling ahead to a total depth of 4,150 feet and is expected to take four to five weeks to reach target depth. The MD 250 well is the first development well to be drilled using one of RRDSL's new rigs. The well will test deeper horizons of the Upper and Middle Cruse sand trends and explore the potential of out-step drilling. MD 250 is a directional well from the previously drilled MD 248 well location. The Upper Cruse sands, though penetrated by numerous surrounding wells, have not been fully exploited in this area of the Morne Diablo field. The Middle Cruse sands have been identified as well-developed in nearby wells with some of those having produced in excess of 100,000 barrels from this horizon during the well life. As previously announced, RRDSL successfully completed construction of a three-cellar drilling pad during 2015. Initially, the MD 250 well will be drilled from the drilling pad. Drilling of further wells from the drilling pad will be evaluated dependent on the results from this well. Further three new drilling rigs of RRDSL are currently undergoing certification and will be brought into drilling operations once approved.
