Notable Quotes

  • Marshall Abbott, CEO: "The success of the M-9HZ and M-10 wells reinforce the materiality of the Mateguafa field to Arrow. The initial discovery and development of Mateguafa demonstrate the resource-rich potential of the Tapir block and the experience of the professional team at Arrow to quickly unlock that potential. The initial development wells drilled at Mateguafa continue to produce at considerable rates with low decline, with significant further pay seen in formations to which Arrow plans to return at a later date."
  • Marshall Abbott, CEO: "After drilling and putting the M-11 well on production, Arrow plans to move the rig to the newly finished Icaco pad. The Icaco prospect is one that has been developed by the Arrow team using both 2-D seismic and, later, the more recently shot 3-D seismic program. Management believes the Icaco prospect will also result in a material discovery for Arrow. We look forward to updating our shareholders on the progress at Icaco over the coming months."
