Strata-X Ltd. (Strata-X) (TSX VENTURE:SXE) through its wholly owned subsidiary
Strata-X, Inc. has been informed by the Vallecitos Project operator (Patriot
Resources, LLC) that the 6-31 RD2 stepout well at Vallecitos field is in a
mature producing area, located in San Benito County, California has reached a
total depth of 4,115 feet. The oil shows encountered while drilling the primary
target, Yokut sand, are consistent with what would be expected of a productive
oil reservoir in the area. Strata-X has a 22.5% working interest and a 19% net
revenue interest in the well and project.


Following total depth being reached the drill pipe became stuck in the hole due
to swelling shales. After freeing the pipe, subsequent attempts to enter the
hole failed as the bottom 1,000 feet of the hole, which includes the potential
oil zone, became unusable and electric logs, used to estimate the extent of the
oil pay, could not be run. The Operator has recommended that the well be
sidetracked and new wellbore drilled through the interpreted oil sands so
electric logs can be run in advance of casing and production testing. The
sidetrack operations will begin within a few days and are expected to take
approximately 10 days to complete.


Tim Hoops, Strata-X President, said: "While the loss of the bottom of the hole
is unfortunate we are very encouraged with the oil shows in the Yokut target
zone and believe much of the geologic aspects of the prospect have been
derisked. Our focus now is on completing a successful sidetrack well in the
Yokut reservoir." 


Strata-X is a Edmonton, Alberta and Golden, Colorado based company and is
