Africa Hydrocarbons Completes Interpretation of Well Data and Provides an Operational Update on the BHN-1 Well in Tunisia

Africa Hydrocarbons Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NFK) ("AHI" or the "Company") today issued the following operational update regarding its BHN-1 exploration well on the Bouhajla Permit in northeastern Tunisia. As previously announced, the BHN-1 well penetrated 245 metres of chalky limestones of the targeted Abiod formation within the Bouhajla North prospect. During drilling, elevated levels of C1-C4 (methane-butane) were noted in the mud log with indications of both open and healed fractures noted in the drill cuttings. Fluid losses during drilling of between 0.8 and 3 cubic metres per hour were encountered throughout the Abiod. Hole stability issues below the intermediate casing string dictated a decision to case the wellbore rather than risk losing the hole, and then follow up with cased-hole neutron/sonic/gamma logs for initial evaluation purposes.
