VYEY Victory Oilfield Tech Inc (CE)

As part of its continuing corporate rebuilding strategy, Victory Energy Corporation (PINKSHEETS: VYEY), through its partnership with Aurora Energy Partners, today announced the acquisition of a working interest in the University 6 #1 oil and gas prospect ("Tunis Creek"). The prospect represents the fourth prospect/well interest acquired by the company in less than 60 days.

The company acquired the prospect from well-known Midland, Texas based V-F Petroleum Inc., who will also be the operator of the well. The company acquired a 5 percent working interest (WI) and a 3.75 percent net revenue interest (NRI) and anticipates this well to spud near the end of April.

The Tunis Creek prospect is located twenty-five miles due east of Fort Stockton, Texas, in eastern Pecos County, and is surrounded by significant hydrocarbon shows in all three targeted horizons. The prospect has been permitted to test the Wichita, Albany, Wolfcamp and Ellenburger formations.

The prospect is within the Central Basin Platform of the prolific Permian Basin and is located up dip of a previously producing oil and gas well. Hydrocarbon delivery infrastructure is nearby.

The operator plans to drill the Tunis Creek prospect to a total depth of 7,500 feet. The 1,600 acre lease comprises two sections of block 20, University Lands survey.

Just over two thirds of a mile to the east-northeast in the same section, Midwest Oil opened the one-well Renaud & Tunstill field. That Midwest Oil well (1 University) is down dip of the Tunis Creek prospect and was completed in 1960. The 1 University well pumped 248 barrels of 43-degree oil per day from the Ellenburger formation at 6,810-95 feet. Log tops at the 7,004 feet discovery included the Wolfcamp at 4,834 feet, Simpson at 5,940 feet, Connell at 6,439 feet and Ellenburger at 6,795 feet. Production for the 1 University well through 1965 totaled over 20 thousand barrels of oil and 1.65 million cubic feet of casinghead gas.

Robert Miranda, Victory Energy's chairman and CEO, stated, "We are thrilled to have added yet another quality corporate relationship and outstanding oil and gas prospect to our growing portfolio. The management and exploration team at V-F Petroleum is well known for delivering outstanding results and we look forward to a continuing relationship with them. The Tunis Creek prospect represents another step in our effort to build a large geographically and geologically diverse portfolio."

About Victory Energy Corporation Victory Energy Corporation is engaged in the exploration, acquisition, development, and exploitation of oil and gas properties. The company endeavors to utilize its broad range of oil and gas industry relationships to acquire small interests in a large volume of low- to moderate-risk oil and gas prospects. A cornerstone of this strategy is an emphasis on developing and maintaining relationships with proven, well established oil and gas exploration and development companies.

Prospect acquisitions are ideally weighted toward oil, although natural gas projects with high btu content, favorable above-market pricing and modest decline rates will also be targeted. Targeted prospects generally provide the company with a rapid return of capital while offering multiple well locations for additional drilling on an established trend. The model asset portfolio is geologically and geographically diversified. The company's current producing oil and gas assets are located in the United States.
