UHO United Hunter Oil and Gas Corp

CALGARY, Nov. 9 /CNW/ -- CALGARY, Nov. 9 /CNW/ - United Hunter Oil & Gas Corp. (UHO: TSX-V) ("United Hunter"). United Hunter Oil & Gas Corp. (UHO) (TSXV - UHO) is pleased to announce that it plans to commence between the last week of November and first week of December, 2010 its Alberta, Canadian well re-completion programs utilizing a new completion technology on two properties, equipment permitting. The first program is planned at Atlee Buffalo within the Mannville G oil pool that was discovered in 1980 and is currently suspended. The Mannville G pool at Atlee Buffalo (TWP 21; RGE 5; W4) has a large aerial extent, thick pay zones and very good reservoir properties. UHO has increased its working interest in the section to 95% through a purchase of an additional 47.5% from 868218 Alberta Ltd. for $54,648.50. The first well to re-enter at Atlee Buffalo will be a suspended well transferred to UHO from Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. Successful recompletion of this first well is expected to lead to the potential re-completion of 9 suspended and abandoned wells on this property. The second program will be within the Wabamun formation D-1A oil pool, discovered in 1963, on 2560 acres consisting of four contiguous sections at the Leduc Woodbend Field (TWP 50; RGE 26; W4). The Wabamun D-1A pool has 41(o) API oil and has had only intermittent production with very low recoveries suggesting there is substantial oil left to recover. The initial program will consist of re-completing two wells. If successful there are more than 64 suspended or abandoned wells that could potentially be re-entered; 12 suspended wells of the 64 wells are adjacent to existing pipelines and another 13 suspended wells of the 64 wells are only 400 meters or less from existing pipelines. Predominantly all the wells produced oil and gas from lower formations and not the Wabamun. The access to the Wabamun D-1A oil pool was obtained through a farmin between UHO and MEC Operating Company ULC ("MEC"). The farmin agreement allows UHO to earn 100% of the Wabamun Petroleum & Natural  Gas rights in each 40 acre spacing in which UHO completes a well, subject to a 10% convertible Overriding Royalty payable to MEC which can be converted to a 30% working interest after 60 days of production. UHO has a joint venture with a private company, Snowcap Energy Inc., who is not a signatory to the farmin agreement but has the right to earn 20% by paying 28.5% of the costs of the re-completion program. UHO will execute the re-entries and re-completions, but once production is initiated in each well MEC will operate the project as MEC owns all the existing pipelines and facilities. Dr. Halleran, CEO of UHO comments "the two Canadian re-completion programs are consistent with UHO's mandate to secure low risk oil projects with suspended wells. The MEC project is particularly exciting for UHO as the light oil Wabamun D-1A pool is underdeveloped, has numerous wells that can re-completed and the gathering system and facilities are already established".
