LEGEND OIL AND GAS LTD. Announces Initial Results of Piqua Kansas June Drilling Program
July 15 2014 - 6:41AM
("Legend", the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company
has completed the first eight wells of a proposed 24 well
development drilling on its Piqua Kansas oil production
property. All eight wells were drilled cased and on
production as of the first week of July, 2014 despite adverse
weather conditions in the month of June. Over the first seven
days of new production, the Piqua property has averaged 33
BOPD. This is an increase of 24 BOPD for the property as a
whole.
Due to the "on time" execution of the first part of the program,
Hillair Capital Management has provided Legend with the second
tranche of its total commitment of $1.0 million toward the drilling
of wells at Piqua. As a result, the second group of wells has
already commenced drilling with two new wells drilled and cased on
the John Ellis lease. Both wells had good oil shows in the
drilling mud and geological samples in the targeted Squirrel
sandstone réservoir.
The positive results of wells drilled on the Orth, Bennett and
Pat Collins leases, has allowed Legend to map additional Proven
Undeveloped (PUD) locations, beyond the previous number of PUD's
and will further expand the development inventory on the Piqua
leasehold.
Marshall Diamond-Goldberg, President and CEO of Legend said:
"With the capital assistance of our primary investment partner,
Hillair, we have been able to finally exploit the reserve potential
which we always felt was present on the Piqua property. The
initial of this largest drilling program in our history, have
more than met our expectations and we will continue to aggressively
develop the leases with the goal of increasing production, cash
flow and reserve values for the benefit of all our
stakeholders."
Andrew Reckles, the Company's Chief Restructuring Officer added:
"The first six weeks of the formal restructuring of Legend Oil have
been better than we initially forecasted. The results in the field
spearheaded by Marshall have been truly fantastic, and with the
next drilling phase under way, we hope for much more. Weather
permitting, it is Legend's intent to drill fourteen additional new
wells this summer, many more over the fall months from cash flows,
and look to stabilize our production gains by implementing a water
flood program over that same period of time. I am greatly
encouraged by the progress and look forward to reporting more
progress to the shareholders over the coming weeks and months."
Warren Binderman, Chief Financial Officer states that "the
operating results and net cash flows as a result of the drilling
activities are ahead of target, and we anticipate the current
momentum to be reflected in the financial statements in the next
few quarters."
