Empyrean Energy PLC (LON:EME) told investors that the ongoing Dempsey 1-15 exploration well in the Sacramento basin, California, is proceeding to plan with reports of gas shows in the well.

Drilling is, meanwhile, progressing at a depth of around 1,300 metres.

The company said that the positive indicators to date will be quantified in due course via conventional petrophysical logs, which will follow the completion of drilling in the current section.
