spudded this morning!



ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
NIDO SPUDS BARAGATAN-1 WELL
Nido Petroleum Limited (ASX: NDO) (“Nido” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce on behalf of
SC 63 Joint Venture partners PNOC-EC and Dragon Oil (SC 63 Philippines) Limited that the UMW
Naga 5 jack-up rig spudded the Baragatan-1 exploration well in Service Contract 63, offshore the
Republic of the Philippines, at approximately 8.00 am WST 15 May 2014.
The well, which is being operated by Nido Petroleum Philippines Pty Ltd, is currently drilling ahead
in the 36” hole section prior to setting the 30” conductor as planned. Nido will provide further
progress reports to the market at key casing points during the drilling of the well.


Wonder why the kick off is with 36" hole,
maybe playing cautious?

we will find out how good this new rig is on its maiden
spud, hoping Nido is its good luck charm for a great run.
