VYEY Victory Oilfield Tech Inc (PK)

Victory Energy Corporation (OTCBB: VYEY) announced today that horizontal drilling technology is being used on the next well currently under development. Drilling began last week on well V115-7 targeting the Canyon Sandstone gas formation in the Corporation's gas play in the Texas Permian Basin.

The Canyon Sandstone formation is an excellent candidate for horizontal drilling due to the thickness and makeup of the formation. The benefits of horizontal drilling include an increase in gas recovery efficiency, lower development costs, and a reduction in drilling expenses, resulting in a potentially higher return on investment for the Corporation.

A 5,000-foot deep Canyon Sandstone gas well will have a gross pay zone of approximately 200 feet. Adding a horizontal drill of approximately 2,000 feet could increase the production from that zone significantly. Research has demonstrated that utilizing horizontal drilling can increase natural gas production 5 to 10 times over the life span of a well. Additionally, the time to produce the higher volume of gas can be drastically shortened.

"The initial vertical well will be drilled through the Canyon Sandstone formation, after which the well will be logged to provide the directional drilling engineer the optimum depth to kick the well off. This will allow the horizontal drill string to intersect and follow the most productive portion of the target formation. Although our goal is to drill a 2000 foot lateral, it is anticipated that we could increase this depending on hole conditions while the drilling operation is underway," stated Jon Fullenkamp, President of Victory Energy Corporation.
