January 2012 targeting 300mmbls and 375mmbbls of best estimate Prospective

Red Emperor Resources said the Hawkeye-1 exploration well was drilled to the planned total depth of 2,920m. While it proved the existence of hydrocarbons in SC55, these were at the lower end of expectations and not likely economic to develop. The well will be plugged and abandoned.
