Jimarilo.

BLR do not say that Acre 1 is used as the entry point.

1. They state ''utilizing Arce 2, 3 and 4 wells''

2. Cold Production from 3 wells then steam into each well, soak, produce.


RNS. 27.12.06

''A pilot steam injection project, utilizing the Arce 2, 3 and 4 wells, was also initiated during the year.''


''After cold flow production from the wells to create some void space, steam is sequentially injected into each well for a period of 1-2 weeks, followed by a soak period of 1-2 weeks whilst the reservoir heats up.''

'' Each well is then put into production for the remainder of a 3-month test cycle.''

''The steam injection test will probably involve a minimum of 2 cycles for a total test lasting approximately 6 months.''
