VICTORY 1-21 SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED


Meridian, the oil & gas exploration and production company with key assets in
the USA and Australia today announced that the Victory 1-21 production well (10%
WI) has been successfully deepened in order to further penetrate a Niagaran
reef.

Using a coiled tubing unit and conventional work over rig, Total Depth was
reached at 4,394 feet and gas communication was made between 4,161 feet and
4,192 feet, an increase of approximately 31 feet in net pay. The well was
treated with acid to stimulate flow and is currently being swabbed to remove
remaining acid from the well bore following which the well will be put back on
line this week. It is anticipated that enhanced production rates will be gained
from the additional pay sections in the reservoir.

Anthony Mason, Chief Executive of Meridian said:

'The successful deepening of Victory 1-21 is good news for Meridian. The well
will be back on line this week, following which Meridian will resume receiving
income from Victory 1-21. We are now looking forward to the imminent completion
on Calvin 36.'

Don Caldwell, a certified petroleum geologist, is the Company's Qualified Person
and has reviewed the information in this announcement.

Warning, shares can go up as well as down.

quite right too ..... lost my usual more benign if warped sense of humour .... sorry chaps

More down than up these days Oily.

doubt that you will see much blue anywhere today, unless Wall Street recovers some equilibrium

Opened up to a sea of red to find that it was another "prick in the wall" (street) day - thought about digging the garden or washing the car - and then thought better -

MRP held on level today which was a miracle looking at the rest of the market.
Interesting to see if Tony Mason's ex holds on to her 6 million shares till the value go's up.
