Interim Results 2018

Greka Drilling Limited (AIM: GDL), the largest independent and specialized unconventional gas driller in Asia, is pleased to announce its unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue of US$2.3 million (H1 2017: US$3.6 million), reduction due to loss of India revenue

Loss of US$2.8million (H1 2017: loss of US$1.1 million), carrying fixed costs while contracts are being concluded with clients

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

12 wells were drilled in the first 6 months this year (all in China) compared to 12 wells in the same period last year (5 in China; 7 in India)

A total of 18,430 meters were drilled, compared to 15,625 meters in the same period last year

Randeep S. Grewal, Chairman and Chief Executive of Greka Drilling, commented:

 

While activities are starting to pick up in China for the second half, the first half of the year was quite challenging. China activities have been consistent with a continuous drilling program being executed with CNPC in Shanxi province. India has been at a standstill until further tenders are won and thus has produced no reported revenues for H1 2018. I remain very positive on the long term prospects for Greka Drilling but expect challenges in the short term to continue while we operate with the current limited number of contracts.
