TORONTO, ONTARIO, Sep 29, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- CGX Energy Inc. CA:OYL -1.39% ("CGX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Government of Guyana has stated it will grant an extension to the deadline for drilling of the Jaguar-1 well offshore Guyana to the parties to the Georgetown Petroleum Prospecting Licence (the "Georgetown PPL"), including CGX Resources Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of CGX Energy Inc..
The parties to the Georgetown PPL are Repsol Exploracion S.A (15%) ("Repsol"), being the operator, along with YPF Guyana Limited (30%), Tullow Guyana BV (30%) and CGX Resources Inc. (25%). The basis for the extension was that the Atwood Beacon jack-up rig that will drill the Jaguar-1 well has been significantly delayed while drilling offshore Suriname.
Stephen Hermeston, President and CEO of CGX stated, "We are very pleased to have received the formal commitment of an extension to drill the Jaguar-1 well. Personnel and equipment are already in Guyana and 95% of the contracts are in place. We are looking forward to the release of the Atwood Beacon rig so operations offshore can commence."
CGX Energy is a Canadian-based oil and gas exploration company focused on the exploration for oil in the Guyana / Suriname Basin, an area that is ranked second in the world for oil and gas prospectivity by the United States Geological Service. CGX is managed by a team of experienced oil and gas and finance professionals from Canada, the US and the UK.
