Creston Resources Announces Initial Production of First Joint Venture Well
April 18 2006 - 6:00AM
Business Wire
Creston Resources, Ltd. ("Creston" or the "Company") (Pink
Sheets:CSTJ) announced today that it has commenced daily production
from the four pay horizons in the first well in the joint project
with Fellows Energy. Oil and gas production is derived from the
Wasatch, Wasatch/Green River Transition, and Lower and Upper Green
River formations. The well, which is now in continuous production,
has yet to fully stabilize. Initial production has yielded a daily
rate of approximately 100 BOE. A variable speed drive is scheduled
to be installed this week to increase the artificial lift system
capacity which is expected to lower the fluid level which may
increase oil and gas production further. This will be followed, if
necessary, by a change to a submersible pump to unlock the full
potential of the well. The recompletion consisted of both downhole
and surface and tank battery work. Downhole work included removing
bridge plugs to reestablish bypassed reserves, new perforations,
and stimulation of untapped zones. Surface work included a complete
renovation of the tank battery to handle increased production,
including a state-of-the-art lift system which increases the fluid
pumping capability while reducing electric and maintenance costs.
Gas sales have commenced as the facilities and contracts were
already in place. Oil is sold at the wellhead on a demand basis
into tanker trucks from holding tanks installed at the site. About
the Company Creston Resources, Ltd. is an emerging oil and gas
exploration and production company, which is concentrating on the
development of its 17,000 held by production (HBP) acres in the
prolific Uintah Basin of Utah. Creston, and its wholly owned
subsidiary Homeland Gas & Oil, currently produces approximately
190 net barrels of high quality oil (equivalent) per day. The
company intends to re-work the lower production wells (including,
in some cases, perforating new zones) as expeditiously as possible
and put them back online at higher levels, as well as drill new
wells on the many offset and infield locations available on its
acreage. Most locations offer multiple prospective pay zones, from
moderately shallow to moderately deep. Financing will be provided
primarily by internal cash flow and joint ventures, although as
production revenue increases, the company may qualify for debt
financing for its very low risk development wells. Creston will
also seek acquisition of projects with production and acreage with
proven reserves. Creston, headquartered in the Uintah Basin city of
Roosevelt, Utah, intends to maximize shareholder value and minimize
dilution by the use of non-equity financing whenever possible, as
noted above. About the Uintah Basin The Uintah Basin is one of the
most petroliferous areas in the country. Oil and gas production in
the Uintah Basin began in the late 1940's with major development in
the 1960's and expansion in the 1970's and 1980's. Since the 1980's
there has been a tremendous surge of exploration and production
activity in the basin with literally thousands of wells being
drilled and completed. Within the last decade discoveries using the
latest oilfield technological advances, including 3D seismic
methods, have yielded significant discoveries in previously
unproductive formations, opening up thousands of acres of the basin
for exploration and development. Over 300,000,000 BO have been
produced from the Bluebell/Altamont field alone, and combined total
production from Duchesne and Uintah Counties in 2004 was 9,615,191
BO (65% of the total oil produced in Utah in 2004) and 146,118,755
MCF/G (49% of the total gas produced in Utah in 2004). Statements
in this press release that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties
which may cause the Company's actual results in future periods to
be materially different from any results discussed in or implied by
such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties
include, without limitation, the Company's ability to acquire
productive oil and/or gas properties and to successfully drill and
complete oil and/or gas wells on such properties, the inherent
uncertainty of oil and gas exploration and production, general
economic conditions, as well as other risks and uncertainties that
may be detailed from time to time in additional documents issued by
the Company. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
any forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation
