On completion of the coring program, the well will be drilled to the top of the Basement section (at approximately 2,285m) and wireline logs will be run to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential in the Qishn interval.

Following the wireline logging program, the 9-5/8 inch casing will be set and the well deepened to TD of 2,400m to test the potential of the Basement interval.
