Epsilon Energy Ltd. Provides Update on Alberta Oil Program
(firmenpresse) - CONCORD, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/11/13 -- Epsilon Energy Ltd. ("Epsilon") (TSX: EPS) is pleased to announce results from the Basal Belly River, Alberta company operated oil drilling program. The first well was drilled and brought online in December 2012. Based on the well's performance and low cost, Epsilon drilled a second and third well in February 2013. These three wells were drilled and completed for approximately $1.1 million each and are currently producing more than 150 barrels a day.
Upon completion of the three wells, Epsilon satisfied its joint venture farm-in obligations and earned a 50% interest in the joint venture leasehold properties in Alberta, Canada targeting the Basal Belly River zone and 50% of an additional well that was drilled prior to the farm-in.
Commenting on the Alberta well results, Zoran Arandjelovic, Epsilon's Chairman, CEO and President, said, "We are very pleased with our initial well results and expect to generate an internal rate of return in excess of 50% on our Alberta project. Continual refinement of our production methods has generated positive results as proven by our second well which doubled in production with optimized pumping techniques. The original well which Epsilon farmed into is currently shut in. Epsilon is in the process of developing a work over program to bring the well back online with anticipated production levels further enhancing the overall return on the project."
Epsilon expects to release fourth quarter and full year 2012 financial and operating results on Friday, March 22, 2013
