PR Newswire (US)
HONG KONG, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tiger Renewable Energy
Limited (OTC:TGRW.OB) (BULLETIN BOARD: TGRW.OB) announces that it
has acquired a 30% working interest in the GP Project located in
Northern Texas for a total purchase price of $1,000,000. The
project consists of 7 leases covering approximately 323 net acres
and has over 50 existing well bores. The acquisition was made from
Wellington Capital, a portfolio management company with substantial
investments in the Oil and Gas sector. The GP project is deploying
Enhanced Secondary Recovery (ESR) methods and know-how to rework
and return to production some 40 existing wells. The GP project is
in three phases. The first phase, which is under way and already
yielding production results, consists of selecting wells for rework
and performing cleaning, fracing and acid treatments, essentially
turning the fields back on. The second phase will consist of
perforating other existing Zones to get additional production from
existing reserves behind pipes, as well as the use of a number
other ESR methods to increase production. Phase three envisions
additional drilling on the property to either go deeper to other
zones or establish additional offset wells. This acquisition
represents a new departure in an effort to re-create value for
Tiger's shareholders and position the company for future growth.
With the market for ethanol at an all-time low and investor
sentiment toward that industry being negative at present, the board
and management concluded that the Hami project was not going to
result in a viable business even if more capital was available, and
thus decided to identify new opportunities for Tiger. Although this
acquisition takes the Company in a different direction, still in
the energy field, it is undertaken with the goal of creating value
for its stakeholders. The oil market being at a many year low has
created opportunities in that industry. The present acquisition of
a working interest in the GP Project was made on favorable terms
and should bring good value in the future, benefiting our
stakeholders and management is looking at other opportunities in
the sector. Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains
