PRD Energy Inc. announced an operational update for the drilling of the Boerger 7A well. After setting a whipstock at 660m, PRD encountered directional drilling challenges in soft sediments requiring changes to the well plan. The decision has now been made to mill the existing casing, set the whipstock point at approximately 1,200 m and then drill to a depth of approximately 2,024 m followed by a 400 m horizontal leg.

Operations to remove the existing whipstock will commence the week of September 16 where after plans to complete the balance of the program will be finalized.
