TORONTO,
July 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Alange
Energy Corp (TSXV: ALE) announced today the spudding of the
Petirojo-1 exploration well, located in Polygon B of the Cubiro
Block in the Llanos Basin. Alange Energy has a 70% working interest
in Polygon B of Cubiro and is operator of this block.
The spudding of the well on July 14, 2011 follows the interpretation of a 49
km2 3D seismic survey shot in 2010. This interpretation
revealed a prospect on trend with the Palmarito field, 5 km to the
north, which had an OOIP of 19 MMBbls of 37o API. The
Petirojo prospect is of the same nature as the typical exploration
play in the Llanos Basin, an upthrown block of an antithetic fault.
The well is aimed at the Carbonera Formation, specifically the C7,
C5 and C3 intervals, with an anticipated depth of 6,808 feet
(measured depth).
Luciano Biondi,
the Company's Chief Executive Officer, commented: "I am pleased to
start our 2011 drilling program, which is aimed at drilling 4 wells
in Cubiro, a block we are very familiar with, and we expect that
this exploration drilling will add incremental production to our
portfolio. We look forward to sharing updates on Petirojo in the
near future."
Alange Energy's gross before royalties share of
proved and probable reserves at Cubiro is 5.8 million barrels, as
per the NI 51-101 reserve report by Petrotech Engineering dated
December 31, 2010, which can be found
on the Company's website at www.alangeenergy.com.
