Ithaca Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:IAE)(AIM:IAE) announces that the J03 well on the Jacky field ("the well") has
been suspended having encountered a smaller than anticipated oil column in the Beatrice 'A' Sand reservoir.
Given the result of the well, technical work is ongoing to determine whether to re-enter the well and complete
it as a water injector to maximise oil recovery from the Jacky field.
Meanwhile, the drilling unit for the J03 well, Northern Enhancer, currently located over the Jacky platform,
will commence a workover operation to replace downhole pumps in the J01 production well. This operation is
estimated to last approximately 15 days.
