WesternZagros is in active discussions with the KRG and Talisman to determine the optimum way to conduct future activities in the Production Sharing Contract area. WesternZagros had identified two locations, Mil Qasim and Qulijan, as potential drilling opportunities to meet the third well commitment, and is currently preparing to drill Mil Qasim. The Company has also revisited the results of Sarqala-1, its first well drilled in Kurdistan, and completed a revised analysis of the oil shows in the Miocene Jeribe reservoir encountered in that well. WesternZagros is evaluating the possibility of drilling a short sidetrack to re-enter the Sarqala-1 well in order to test this zone, once the Kurdamir-1 test is completed.

About Kurdamir-1
WesternZagros began drilling the Kurdamir-1 well in May 2009, announced a large Oligocene gas and condensate discovery in November 2009, and reached a total depth of 4,077 metres in January 2010. While numerous promising oil and gas shows were encountered in the Tertiary and Cretaceous formations penetrated, the wellbore conditions experienced have only allowed the Company to conduct tests in the Oligocene reservoir interval.
