Compagnie Tunisienne de Forage has won a drilling contract from DualEx Energy International Inc. for the land drilling rig CTF-06 to drill the BHN-1 exploration well on the Bouhajla North prospect within the Bouhajla Permit in central Tunisia.

The BHN-1 exploration well will be drilled to a depth of 2500 metres to check a Cretaceous Abiod target, which is similar to the Sidi el Kilani oil field situated 25 kilometers east of the Bouhajla North prospect.

Long-lead points are now in-country, and site construction is due to start this month. DualEx holds 52.5% contractor interest and operatorship of the BHN-1 well.

DualEx President & CEO Garry Hides said: \"Notwithstanding the delays in getting the BHN-1 well spudded, a result of increased drilling activity in Tunisia, we\'re pleased to have now solidified our position in the drilling queue for the first exploration well on our Tunisian acreage.”
