Pancontinental Oil and Gas NL is pleased to advise that the Sunbird-1 well off the southern Kenyan coast has been completed and the well has intersected a hydrocarbon-bearing zone in the top of the Sunbird Miocene Pinnacle Reef. Analysis of the zone itself and recovered hydrocarbon samples are continuing.

Analysis of the wireline log data and the fluid samples recovered from the limestone reservoir is complex due to the large volume of drilling fluid, seawater and cement lost to highly porous and permeable zones in the Sunbird Reef, including into the hydrocarbon bearing zone.
