Range Resources has announced that the Shabeel North well currently being drilled in Puntland, Somalia by the Company's Joint Venture Operator, Horn Petroleum, is at a current depth of 984m targeting a total depth of 2,400m. Drilling operations have progressed smoothly since spudding and remain on track to reach target depth on time and on budget.

The Shabeel North well is targeting Upper Cretaceous Jesomma sands, which had good oil and gas shows in the Shabeel-1 well 3.5 kms to the south. Petrophysical analysis of downhole electrical logs in the Shabeel-1 well indicated a potential pay zone in the Jesomma of up to 12 to 20 meters with an average porosity of 18 to 20%. Upon completion and testing of the Shabeel North well, the rig will move back to Shabeel-1 to flow test the identified Jesomma sands.
