the period. Production during the period has been stopped partly or
fully during in total 14 days due to planned operations and
installation of the Ensco 85 drilling rig at the Didon platform.
- A new producer well D10 was spudded successfully on the Didon field
by the end of March and drilling continuous with present depth 2,200
meters. The D10 is planned with entry in the central section of the
Didon reservoir.
- In the period, production of crude oil came from six fields in
Tunisia. PA Resources divested its Norwegian subsidiary in the end of
December 2008. This has temporarily reduced the Group's total
production and sale of oil until the Azurite field in the Republic of
