Pan Orient Energy Corp.: L33-2 Exploration/Appraisal Well Tests at 2,370 BOPD

Pan Orient Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE:POE) Concession L33 (POE 60% Working Interest and Operator)

L33-2 Exploration / Appraisal Well
The L33-2 well has tested on free flow, 38 degree API crude at an average rate of approximately 2,370 BOPD gross (1,422 BOPD net POE) with a water cut of less 0.05% during the last 15 hours of a 36 hour test.

The L33-2 well was drilled from a surface location approximately 1.8 kilometers south of the L33-1 discovery well and was targeting the same L33-1 volcanic zone within an interpreted potential 9.8 square kilometer maximum areal extent structural closure. The variation in crude oil gravity (35 degree API at L33-1 compared with 38 degree API at L33-2) suggests the two structural culminations at L33-1 and L33-2 may be separate accumulations.
