Jay Cheatham, CEO, said: "With the sand blockage in the wellbore cleaned out and the production liner reinserted, we can now look forward to observing the potential of Alkaid #2 as the well as the well progresses through the cleanup phase. We'll report the results once flow rates have stabilized and the data is representative of the potential of the well. As I've stated a number of times, we are very happy with the potential for Alkaid #2 and are optimistic of a positive result."

Notes to Editors
Pantheon Resources plc is an AIM listed Oil & Gas company focused on several large projects located on the North Slope of Alaska ("ANS"), onshore USA where it has a 100% working interest in 153,000 highly prospective acres with potential for multi billion barrels of oil recoverable. A major differentiator to other ANS projects is its close proximity to transport and pipeline infrastructure which offers a significant competitive advantage to Pantheon, allowing for materially lower capital costs and much quicker development times. The Group's stated objective is to create material value for its stakeholders through oil exploration, appraisal and development activities in high impact, highly prospective conventional assets, in the USA; a highly established region for energy production with infrastructure, skilled personnel and low sovereign risk. All operations are onshore USA, with drilling costs materially below that of offshore wells.
