London-listed shares in Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (FO.V) rose Wednesday after the company said that drilling results to date from the Kyalla 117 N2-1 appraisal well in Australia are encouraging.

The Dublin-based company, which is listed in Canada and the U.K., said its joint venture with Origin Energy Ltd. (ORG.AU) is now preparing to drill a horizontal section within the Kyalla formation. Once completed, the horizontal section will be fracture-stimulated and tested for production, Falcon said.

Falcon shares in London at 0854 GMT were up 10% at 13.68 pence.
