Edit this title from the Fast Facts Section
CGX is funded for drilling of Jaguar with its 25% share of costs estimated to be $30 to $40 million. In parallel,
Jefferies Randall & Dewey (JRD) have been retained to market the opportunity to a joint venture partner to earn an interest in the Corentyne PA and/or the Company’s interest in the Georgetown PA by committing to drill an exploration well.
JRD continues to market the opportunity for a joint venture partner(s) to earn a promoted
interest in the Corentyne PPL by drilling an exploration well. The preference is to drill this well deep to test a Turonian prospect adjacent to the Jaguar prospect on the Georgetown PPL, with potential higher uphole in the Campanian, Maastrichtian and Eocene. The revised cost estimate for Eagle Deep has increased to US$90 to US$100
million from US$70 million due to additional costs in a “post-Macondo” environment. However the minimum, work commitment can be fulfilled by drilling a shallow well to test the Eagle Eocene prospect to approximately 3,500 metres. The current cost estimate to drill the Eagle-1 well to 3,500 metres is US$40 million, an increase of US$6 million from 2010 cost estimates.
