- Tetoil Baltic and TDKN expected to commence operations in 2H 2007.
- Baltic Top performing above expectations
- Privolny exploration drilling showing encouraging results for prospectivity of the acreage,
- Cash flow expected to significantly increase with income from Rosbunker and other operations coming on stream
Simon Escott, Chief Executive, commented:
'Baltic has made substantial progress in the first half of 2007 and we are on track to create a strong operational platform. We are delivering on our aims to generate significant cash flow and the acquisition of Rosbunker reflects the Company's ability to successfully grow its current portfolio. This will also enable the Company to generate further revenue by offering agency and handling services to clients.
In the second half of 2007 we are on track to significantly add to shareholder value. Our position in Kaliningrad is solid and we expect to spud our second well in Kurgan in late September as planned.'
