CALGARY, Cana da / TheNewswire / O
ct. 2, 2017 —Sonoro Energy Ltd. (“Sonoro” or “the Company”) (TSX-V: SNV), is pleased to announce that drilling has begun at
its LG-1 Up-dip appraisal well in Indonesia.
Sonoro’s drilling contractor, PTI Advanced Services Indonesia (“ASI”), has rigged up with all personnel and services on
site at the LG-1 Up-dip wellsite on the Budong Budong Production Sharing Contract (PSC) lease in West Sulawesi, and has begun
drilling operations with its Rig 3.
Sonoro is also pleased to announce that it has received further confirmation from Indonesia’s Directorate General of Oil
and Gas (“MIGAS”) that the exploration period for the Budong Budong PSC remains valid through Jan. 15, 2018, and that Sonoro has
until that date to drill, complete and test the LG-1 Up-dip well with no further conditions attached. A MIGAS representative
visited the LG-1 Up-dip site in West Sulawesi this past weekend and performed an inspection to its satisfaction, enabling Sonoro to
begin drilling operations.
“ We are pleased to have the continued support of the Indonesian government regulator SKKMIGAS and MIGAS to
commence drilling operations with confidence,” said Sonoro CEO and Director Richard Wadsworth.
“ With this confirmation and inspection,” added Mr. Wadsworth, “we expect the initial drilling to now proceed
cautiously in the top hole section, given the documented hydrocarbon overpressure encounters in the region, such that extra
precautions are taken to be prepared for potential shallow gas kicks in the upper hole.”
Sonoro has posted additional photos of final LG-1 Up-dip rig preparation and establishment to its website,
sonoroenergy.com.
