Drilling has started on the Karmir prospect in the Armavir region of Block 2, Armenia. Karmir-1 is the first exploration well to be drilled in the country for ten years.

The Company has entered an exciting operational phase and is now simultaneously drilling in Canada, Armenia and Ukraine, and is planning a drilling operation in PNG.
