Thomas Gutschlag, CFO of Deutsche Rohstoff, commented: "We are satisfied with the outcome of the placement. The market environment has become more difficult over the course of June.

Production from these wells is expected to begin in the first half of November. The five wells are part of Tekton's cooperation with Anadarko Petroleum. The two partners each hold working interest of approximately 50% in the wells. Following this, the drilling program will continue without interruption on Tekton acreage.
