Worthington Energy to Utilize ADR's Levia Thermal Oil Recovery Process

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 8, 2014) - Worthington Energy, Inc. (OTCQB: WGAS) ("Worthington" or the "Company"), an energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and drilling of oil and natural gas properties, will utilize the Levia Thermal Oil Recovery Process developed by American Dynamic Resources, Inc. ("ADR") to target the vast Heavy Oil deposits in Southeast Kansas and Western Missouri. An estimated 1.6 to 2.4 billion barrels of shallow (100-350 feet) heavy oil have been identified in Vernon, Barton, Jasper and the western portion of Dade and Cedar Counties in Western Missouri. Comparable heavy oil deposits have also been identified in Crawford, Bourbon, Labette and Neosho Counties in Southeast Kansas.

According to the Kansas Geological Survey, as of 2011 Kansas has produced nearly 6.4 billion barrels of oil and 39.3 billion mcf of natural gas. Many industry analysts believe that only a small portion of the original oil reserves found in Kansas have ever been recovered. In the 1920s, Kansas was among the top oil producers in the world and remains 9th in the United States for oil production. Phillips Petroleum (now ConocoPhillips), Getty Oil and Sinclair Oil, among others, all had large operations in the state. Over the years as oil reserves in Kansas became increasingly difficult and expensive to extract with conventional methods, they moved on to other areas.

Thermal oil recovery processes used for recovering heavy oil have traditionally been capital intensive. The equipment, installation and operating costs often make thermal enhanced heavy oil recovery uneconomical. ADR has developed a new, more efficient way to recover the heavy oil and medium gravity oil reserves in Southeast Kansas and Western Missouri. The Levia Thermal Oil Recovery Process uses water that is heated to a specific temperature and then injected into the oil bearing formation to drive oil to the wellbore.

The Levia Oil Recovery Process combines ADR's EcoLift Artificial Lift System (Patents Pending #61896838 and #61897237), which produces oil by utilizing compressed air pumped through a series of valves resulting in oil jetting to the surface where it can be stored, with ADR's High Efficiency Thermal Enhancement Process (Patent Pending #61897233) which utilizes standardized continuous flow, high-efficiency, natural gas hot water heaters to heat oil bearing formations.

"The Levia Thermal Oil Recovery Process uses water that is heated to a specific temperature and then injected into the oil bearing formation to drive oil to the wellbore. It integrates specialized pipe, pumps, fluid lifting processes and water heating capabilities to extract low gravity heavy oil and medium gravity oil profitably. Lower developmental capital requirements, improved lifting techniques and reduced lifting costs improve heavy oil recovery economics in comparison to traditional thermal processes," stated ADR President and CEO, Mr. Charles A. Adams.
