VYEY Victory Oilfield Tech Inc (PK)

Victory Energy Corporation, (Victory Energy) (PINKSHEETS: VYEY), an independent, growth-oriented oil and gas company, today announced that recent successes at its Permian Basin Lightnin' prospect have increased proved reserves by 60 percent and daily production by 89 percent during the first half of this year.

"When we purchased the Lightnin' property in March of 2012, we knew drilling in this area could provide a critical turning point for the company. Drilling the first two wells of several at Lightnin' (Cotter #1 and McCauley #1) have proven our strategy to be successful and we expect the remaining wells to be drilled on the property to also provide a major increase in revenue and a significant step toward sustainable profitability," said Kenny Hill, Victory Energy CEO.

From 2011 to 2012 Victory Energy grew proved reserves by 16 percent, from 118,000 to 137,330 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), and daily production by 48 percent, from 21.9 to 32.6 BOE. 2013's success in the Permian Basin has accelerated this growth. With the addition of over 83,000 net BOE of proved reserves and 29.4 BOE per day of net new production from Victory Energy's Lightnin' prospect alone, total proved reserves have increased by 60 percent and net daily production by 89 percent since the end of 2012. Oil currently represents forty-one percent of total proved reserves, an improvement from 18 percent at the end of 2012. Current total net proved reserves are estimated at 220,330 BOE, with net daily production of 62 BOE. Victory Energy plans to drill two additional wells at Lightnin' this year and is actively pursuing additional properties with similar characteristics.

About the Lightnin' Prospect, Glasscock County, Texas With the March 2012 acquisition of the first 320-acre Cotter parcel at Lightnin', Victory Energy, through its partnership with Navitus Energy Group, began a new focus on the expansion of high-value, low-risk, multi-well properties within the prolific Permian Basin of west Texas and the adjoining area of southeastern New Mexico. The May 2013 addition of the McCauley parcel brings the total gross acres held at Lightnin' to 640. It is located in the very active resource play known as the Wolfberry, which is composed of the lower Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp, Cline Shale, into the Pennsylvanian. The first vertical well (Cotter #1) was spud in January 2013, completed in February and brought into production in late March. The second well (McCauley "6" #1) was spud in May and placed on production in late June.
