Salamander Energy announces that the West Kerendan-1 exploration well has reached total depth and has successfully tested gas from the Upper Berai reservoir and will be potentially completed as a future producing well following completion of the testing programme.

Following wireline logging, pressure and sampling programmes, Salamander can confirm that gas has been encountered in four zones: Middle Miocene sandstones, Oligocene Upper Berai and Lower Berai formation carbonates and the Eocene Tanjung formation sandstones.
