DualEx Energy International Inc has moved the drilling rig used to drill the BHN-1 well in Tunisia off the location

DualEx said in a statement that it had scheduled the running of an additional cased-hole log to augment log and drill cuttings data already retrieved.

This additional data will be provided by a logging tool that was not readily available when the original cased-hole logs were run.

The data will provide further information regarding the potential hydrocarbon saturation of specific fracture intervals interpreted within the 245 metre thick Abiod formation that was penetrated during the drilling of BHN-1.

DualEx believes these additional logging results will allow for optimal decision-making regarding potential test intervals.

Once the new log data has been retrieved and interpreted, the decision to continue specific completion operations will be made and perforating and testing equipment moved in, barring any location access issues occurring.

The BHN-1 well is the first exploration well on the Bouhajla Permit.

It is being drilled to evaluate a Cretaceous Abiod oil target on the Bouhajla North prospect.
