Kowalik-1H

Eureka has been advised by the operator, Texas Crude Energy Inc (TCEI), that as of 06:00hrs 05/08/08 (US CST) the Kowalik-1H well had reached a depth of 9,823ft and was drilling ahead.

This vertical section of the well will be drilled as a pilot hole down to approximately 12,000 ft through the chalk. This will then be logged, plugged back and the well sidetracked to the top of the chalk before casing is run prior to drilling the horizontal section. The well is planned to have a 6,000ft horizontal section and is targeting the upper pay interval that has been reported as successfully producing gas and condensate in three wells in the adjacent acreage. The Joint Venture is working towards this being the first in a continuous sequence of 4 wells.

Other ASX listed participants in the Sugarloaf JV, and their respective working interests are Aurora Oil & Gas Limited with 20% and Adelphi Energy Limited with 20%.
