--  Halliburton has successfully completed the stimulation of the 7 stages
    of the Burkett 5-34HOR well. 
--  Currently preparing the Well for production test.



The directors and management of Strata-X Energy Ltd. ("Strata-X" or the
"Company") (TSX VENTURE:SXE)(ASX:SXA) are pleased to announce that the Company
has successfully executed the completion stimulation of the Vail Oil Project's
horizontal Burkett 5-34HOR well ("Well"). The completion simulation of the Well
was carried out by Halliburton and consisted of the stimulation of all the
Well's 6 unstimulated stages. Following the successful completion stimulation,
Halliburton was released as the Company prepares for the production testing of
the Well in the coming weeks. 


The successful completion stimulation of the Well is the result of the Company's
new design for completion following a detailed analysis of a prior completion
attempt, the core acquired of the targeted formation, and information obtained
in drilling the Well. This completion stimulation was delayed until now,
allowing the Company to acquire and close the transaction for the adjacent,
approximately 23,000-net-acre Copper Mountain Oil Project under reasonable
economic terms from an undisclosed third party. 


President and Managing Director Tim Hoops stated: "The completion stimulation of
the Burkett well has taken a bit longer than anticipated while we expanded our
project portfolio and increased our development emphasis on the Illinois Basin.
We are pleased with the completion as we look forward to the production testing
of this proof-of-concept well. The prior attempt in our estimation was an
aberration and a mechanical issue not associated with geologic conditions. We
look forward to the production testing over the coming weeks to determine the
effectiveness of this stimulation."


In July 2013, Strata-X spudded the Burkett 5-34HOR well, the first Company test
well of the Vail Oil Project. It was designed to be drilled in two stages.
First, the Company drilled a vertical hole to the top of the target formation
and then cored approximately 60 feet of the formation. The vertical portion of
the well reached a total depth of 4,730 feet. Oil and gas shows were encountered
in the targeted Devonian Lingle formation and a drill stem test of the target
recovered gas- and oil-cut mud. Then the well was drilled to a total depth of
6,762 feet, with approximately 1,824 feet of lateral drilled. A 7-stage sliding
sleeve completion system on a 4 1/2 inch liner was installed over the lateral
portion of the well. While drilling the lateral portion of the well, oil and gas
shows were encountered and live oil was visible in the drilling mud. Strata-X
released the drilling rig at the beginning of September 2013.
