We are now drilling the horizontal leg of our second Austin Chalk well and are confident of intersecting a similar oil bearing fracture network to that encountered in the first well. At least twelve oil and gas bearing fracture zones were intersected in the horizontal leg of the Deshotels 20H No.1; they were accompanied by significant oil and gas shows, which were produced to the surface during drilling, and confirmed the prospectivity of the Austin Chalk formation within the project area.
Justin Pettett, Pryme’s Managing Director
As was the case with the initial well in this project, the Deshotels 13H No.1 is being drilled slightly under balance and, as a result, we expect to see oil and natural gas returns at the surface as we drill through the fractured sections of the chalk. We will keep investors up to date during drilling of the horizontal leg which is expected to be completed by early August.
Ryan Messer, Pryme’s Executive Director

*Actual sales for the first two months of the quarter and an estimate based on production data for the last month of the quarter.
LaSalle Parish Project (8% - 21.5% Interest)
The LaSalle Parish project is based on oil production from five fields, the first of which was discovered in 2000.
Second quarter oil sales of 2,228 barrels (27 Bbls/day net to Pryme) were 7% lower than for the previous quarter. This is mainly attributable to normal decline.
Raven Project (35% Interest / 25.38% NRI)
Second quarter sales for the Raven project were 14,375 Mcf of natural gas and 402 barrels of condensate net to Pryme, a 5% reduction in gas sales over the previous quarter, mainly due to normal decline, and a 180% increase in condensate sales due to the timing of oil deliveries and a slight increase in condensate production.
Four Rivers Project (25% Interest / 18.75% - 20% NRI)
The Four Rivers project extends from Winn, Concordia and Catahoula Parishes in Louisiana to Adams, Jefferson and Wilkinson Counties in Mississippi. The project is targeting multiple “stacked” oil zones throughout the Middle-Wilcox formation at depths ranging from 4,000 to 7,000 feet. Wells drilled in the Middle-Wilcox exhibit long production lives with low decline rates after the initial flush oil is produced and relatively steady production is established. They are relatively inexpensive to drill and typically have low operating and on-going maintenance costs.
Second quarter sales from the Four Rivers project was 1,682 barrels of oil net to Pryme, a 3% increase over sales for the previous quarter. Average sales net to Pryme was 18.4 Bbls/day for the quarter. The slight increase in sales is mainly due to the timing of oil deliveries. The Jack Allen
well is still in non-producing status due to unitization work that needs to be completed before the well is re-completed in a shallower sand.
Catahoula Lake Project (25% Interest / 20.25% NRI)
The Catahoula Lake project is located in LaSalle, Rapides and Grant parishes, Louisiana and is targeting multiple “stacked” oil zones throughout the Middle-Wilcox formation at depths ranging from 4,500 to 5,500 feet. Ultimate oil recoveries are expected to range from 50,000 to 200,000 barrels for each successful well drilled from land locations and in excess of 250,000 barrels for each successful well drilled from lake locations.
Sales for the quarter were 1,271 barrels of oil net to Pryme, a 5% reduction over the previous quarter. Average sales net to Pryme were 14 Bbls/day for the quarter.
The C-11 well was worked over and brought back on line at the end of June. The C-10 well was also worked over during the quarter and recompleted in a shallower sand. Both wells will contribute to increased oil sales in the next quarter.
The remainder of 2011 will be spent on detailed geological interpretation of the lake based on information from nearby onshore and offshore exploration which has been carried out over the past 60 years. The 2011 plan also includes drilling at least one new well in an onshore location on the edge of the lake. When the lake becomes available for barge rig exploration in early 2012 we expect to have a comprehensive exploration program prepared.

(cont.) Projects
Turner Bayou 3D Seismic Project
Drilling of the second well in the Turner Bayou Chalk project, the Deshotels 13H No.1 well in North Bayou Jack Field, commenced during the quarter and, at the date of this report, had reached a total vertical depth of 15,000 feet (4,572 metres) in the upper portion of the Austin Chalk formation. The vertical section of the well was logged and the intermediate string of casing cemented in place before drilling of the 4,000 foot (1,220 metres) horizontal section was commenced.
At the time of writing this report the horizontal section of the well has encountered hydrocarbon bearing fractures and oil and gas can be seen in the drilling returns at the surface.
The Deshotels 20H No.1, the first well to be drilled in the Turner Bayou Chalk project, is currently producing well below expectations at 120 barrels BBls/day and approximately 90 Mcf per day of natural gas. Pryme and its partners plan to remediate the Deshotels 20H No.1 following the drilling and completion of the current well.
Exploration and leasing activities in the vicinity of Turner Bayou are increasing. Anadarko Petroleum, one of the world’s largest independent oil and gas exploration and production companies, commenced drilling its first Austin Chalk well on trend and near Turner Bayou on 14 June 2011. The Dominique 27-1 (see map at the end of this report) is being drilled to a vertical depth 16,500 feet (5,030 metres) and a total measured depth of 23,200 feet (7,070 metres.) The well is currently drilling at 15,910 feet (4,850 metres.)
Anadarko has also permitted several additional wells on trend with Turner Bayou which indicates its strong interest in the area.
Construction of the flow line from the Turner Bayou production facilities to the main gas sales pipeline has been completed and natural gas sales from the Deshotels 20H No.1 commenced in July. Natural gas sold from the Turner Bayou Chalk project is expected to attract a premium to reference market gas prices because of the high natural gas liquids (condensate) content. The Deshotels 20H No.1 production and sales facilities have been designed to service both the Deshotels 20H No.1 and the Deshotels 13H No.1 wells.

Corporate
CAPITAL RAISING
During the Quarter, Pryme announced a non-renounceable rights issue (Rights Issue). Under the Rights Issue eligible shareholders were offered 1 new share in Pryme for every 7 fully paid ordinary shares held at the Record Date, at a price of $0.125 per share. The Company expects to issue 32,230,168 new shares and raise approximately $4 million under the Rights Issue.
The additional funds, after the expenses of the Rights Issue and normal working capital requirements, will be used primarily to ensure that, in the event of cost overruns on the Deshotels 13H No.1 well in the Turner Bayou Chalk project, the Company can continue to fund its proportionate share.
