   PL457 Drilling Campaign Update 
 
   Bridge, the Oslo Børs and AIM listed oil and gas exploration and 
production company (OSE:BRIDGE/AIM:BRDG.L), provides an update on the 
current exploration drilling campaign, targeting the Amol and Asha East 
prospects within the PL457 licence. 
 
   Further to the announcement on 5 September 2013, we can now advise that 
the Amol well has been drilled to its total depth. The primary target in 
Amol was Åsgard (Cretaceous) sandstone with a secondary target of 
fractured basement.  Three cores have now been cut in Cretaceous and 
basement levels.  A thin Åsgard sandstone was encountered with no 
reservoir quality. Oil has been sampled in the basement, but no drill 
stem test will be carried out due to poor observed reservoir properties. 
Drilling of the Asha East well will now commence. 
 
   Bridge has a 20% interest in the PL457 licence.  Wintershall is the 
operator with 40%, with the other partners VNG (20%) and E.ON (20%).
