Kyrgyz Republic

Santos has established a leading acreage position in the Fergana Basin in the south of the Kyrgyz Republic.  Santos holds interests in six prospecting licences covering approximately 2,700 square kilometres in the proven oil and gas province.

2D seismic work has been completed and shallow drilling occured in 2009.  Deeper drilling is planned for 2010 and 2011 to further evaluate the potential of these assets.  If successful, existing pipelines and refineries will enable production to be brought on quickly and will provide multiple export options.

Santos has secured an option for further acreage in the Fergana Basin, adding to the production potential.
