HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / September 16, 2019 / Cub Energy Inc. ("Cub" or the "Company") (TSXV:KUB), a Ukraine-focused upstream oil and gas company, announced today that CNG LLC ("CNG"), Cub's 50%-owned subsidiary which owns and operates the western Ukraine Uzhgorod licence, has commenced drilling of the Uzhgorod-101 ("U-101") well. This is the first well in a three-well drill program for which all costs will be borne 100% by our partner, NAFTA International B.V. ("NAFTA"). The average planned depth of the wells is in range from 1,500 to 1,900 metres to evaluate several prospective horizons identified by 3D seismic.
Mikhail Afendikov, Chairman and CEO of Cub said: "The spudding of the U-101 well is a major milestone for Cub. This is a cumulative effort between Cub and NAFTA as we performed 3D seismic, generated an inventory of prospects and are now executing with the drilling of our first exploratory well. These wells all qualify for the reduced 12% royalty."
The Uzhgorod licence encompasses approximately 75,000 gross acres. The licence adjoins Cub's 100%-owned producing RK field and is near the producing Ptruksa field located on the Slovakian side of the border.

Reader Advisory
With the current cash resources, negative working capital, partial suspension of the RK field, uncertainty surrounding the successful installation of the NRU, currency fluctuations, reliance on a limited number of customers, and impact on carrying values, the Company may not have sufficient cash to continue the exploration and development activities. These matters raise significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and meet its obligations as they become due.
