The well was drilled to a depth of 7,400 feet TVD and the gross oil column in the well was approximately 550ft thick.

Coastal Energy president & CEO Randy Bartley said, "We estimate that this doubles the volumetric estimates for this particular fault block. Production will be tied in from this well shortly."

The A-10 well was also drilled into the same fault block as the A-12ST#1, which is the easternmost fault block at Songkhla A and it tested at 3,500 bopd with 105ft of net pay.

Coastal Energy has four untested prospectswhich include Oligocene, Eocene and Miocene targetswithin the Songkhla production license area with combined prospective resources of approximately 24 mmbbl.
