The North Stockyard field largely remained shut in for October to protect the well bores from offset fracks, however production from the field is progressively being returned in the western half of the field where the frack program has been completed. A work over rig is in the field and is currently working on the Tofte 2 Pad and has completed the clean out of the Coopers well bore. The rig is currently on the Tooheys well and Little Creature is scheduled to be cleaned out be next.

BLUFF 1-11
(SSN 25%)
True Drilling Rig #26 has successfully drilled out the cement plug in the Bluff #1-11 well and set a 5” liner across the Permian Hartville 9500’ sand. The liner was subsequently cemented in place. A cement bond log was run in the well to determine the quality of cement bonding behind the 5” liner that was previously run into the hole. Samson can now proceed with the completion of the Permian Hartville 9500’ sand.
It is anticipated that the workover rig will arrive on site later this week and subsequently the well will be perforated and flow tested after tubing is run in the hole with the workover rig. This test is aimed at establishing a flow rate and will also enable a detailed gas analysis to be undertaken. The test may also include a shut-in period which can be used to establish whether a gas-oil contact exists below the intersection of the Permian Hartville 9500’ sand.
Samson’s Ordinary Shares are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange under the symbol "SSN". Samson's American Depository Shares (ADSs) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange MKT under the symbol "SSN". Each ADS represents 20 fully paid Ordinary Shares of Samson. Samson has a total of 2,837 million ordinary shares issued and outstanding (including 230 million options exercisable at AUD 3.8 cents), which would be the equivalent of 141.85 million ADSs. Accordingly, based on the NYSE MKT closing price of US$0.28 per ADS on November 10th, 2014, the Company has a current market capitalization of approximately US$41.3 million (the options have been valued at an exchange rate of 0.8671). Correspondingly, based on the ASX closing price of A$0.018 for ordinary shares and a closing price of A$0.008 for the 2017 options, on November 10th, 2014, the Company has a current market capitalization of approximately A$50.1 million.
