Icewine#2 Operations Update

Cementing of the 4.5” liner in the production hole section (through the HRZ) was completed successfully over the weekend, without incident.
Final preparations for the main stimulation are underway, with execution expected in the 3rd week of June.

Production testing remains on schedule for late June / early July.

Managing Director of 88 Energy Limited, Dave Wall commented:

“The Alaska team have successfully completed the Icewine#2 well on schedule, after an effective adjustment to the completion plan, post the initial unsuccessful attempt to set the production liner.
