PetroNeft Resources: Spuds Fifth Well at Sosnovskaya

Petroneft are pleased to announce that we have spudded the fifth well (Sosnovskaya-35) in a six well program on the Sosnovskoye field, located in Komi. The previous well Sosnovskaya-36, is now being prepared for fraccing which is scheduled to commence within the next few days, along with two of the other wells drilled earlier this year.

We will continue to update shareholders of the results from this new well and the fraccing program along with other developments in due course.

Petrosibir owns 49% of the Cypriot company Ripiano, whose wholly owned Russian subsidiaries hold three production licenses in Komi including the Sosnovskoye field.
