CALGARY, Canada / TheNewswire / July 6, 2017 — Sonoro Energy Ltd. (“Sonoro” or “the Company”) (TSX-V: SNV) is pleased to report that the site for its Budong Budong appraisal well project in Indonesia is ready for the eventual mobilization of a drilling rig.

Locally based contractors in the province of West Sulawesi have completed the civil works for the LG-1 Up-dip well location, with the exception of some final stone and cleanup works.

Sonoro has also completed civil works for a logistics, storage, offices and staging area at the original LG-1 location. An inventory of drilling materials from the original LG-1 well program, undertaken in 2011, will be moved to this location from its current holding area some 71 kilometres to the south.

Meanwhile, accommodations, catering and food services from local providers have been arranged and approved by the drilling contractor for the drilling program.

All necessary local road clearance permits for the transportation of the drilling equipment and associated services have been organized, along with local transportation services to move the incoming equipment from a West Sulawesi port to the drilling and staging area. For future activities, an alternate port 10 km further away has now been selected, which is less populated but has increased flexibility in landing and logistics.

Independent third party inspection and certifications of the LG-1 Up-dip drilling rig are underway. Once these have been approved, the drilling rig and services—being provided by Indonesia’s PT Pontil, a subsidiary of Major Drilling Group International, per a previously announced letter of intent (LOI)—may begin mobilization to West Sulawesi from Balikpapan. Other services and equipment from Jakarta have also been arranged.

All other project deliverables remain on schedule, and Sonoro expects spudding of the LG-1 Up-dip well to commence in early August 2017.

“With Ramadan and the subsequent Eid al-Fitr holidays having just finished late last week, we’re pleased with how our team and contractors have performed, with continued progress of all aspects of our drilling program,” says Sonoro’s Chief Executive Officer and Director Richard Wadsworth.

A new photo gallery webpage has been added to the Sonoro website under the Investor section, with regular image updates tracking progress of the LG-1 Up-dip well program.
