TE10 : Rigless Well Testing Timing Update

Sound Energy, the Moroccan focused upstream gas company, provides a further update on operations in Eastern Morocco, following the Company's announcement of 18 February 2019.  The Company previously announced a discovery, and a planned stimulated well test, at TE-10, the second well in Sound Energy's current three well exploration programme in the Greater Tendrara area, onshore Morocco.

As confirmed in the Company's announcement of 21 March 2019, testing operations at TE-10 are underway and continue. The test programme involves rigless re-entry of the TE-10 well, acquisition of cement bond log information, and both unstimulated and stimulated flow tests on multiple intervals. The Company is anticipating the arrival of Coiled Tubing from Tunisia prior to perforating and initiating the unstimulated tests, followed by the stimulated flow test. 

Sound Energy looks forward to updating shareholders via regulatory news service ("RNS"), as appropriate, in due course.
