NORSTRA ENERGY INC. WWW.NORSTRAENERGY.COM (OTCMKTS:NORX) ("Norstra"
or the "Company"), a company poised to expand the excitement of the
Bakken Shale oil deposit in North Dakota & Eastern Montana,
westerly towards the geologically promising Rocky Mountain front of
Lewis and Clark County, Montana, is pleased to announce they have
entered into an agreement with BNV Energy (or "BNV") of Houston,
Texas which requires BNV to drill two (2) natural gas wells on the
Company's Milford Colony lands in Northwest Montana. The agreement
also requires BNV to construct a gas gathering system which will
collect natural gas for the wells, and feeds it to the 16"
Northwestern Energy pipeline close by the project.
The total AFE cost the new partner will be required to spend for
the drilling and gathering is approximately $1,500,000.00 US
dollars. Under the terms of the agreement, by performing the
aforementioned work programs by September 30th, 2014, BNV earns a
60% working interest in roughly 5,382 acres of the Milford Colony
lands which is to be directly contributed by Norstra's other JV
Partner, Super Nova Petroleum of Vancouver, B.C. Super Nova will
retain a 20% working interest in these lands and maintain a 80%
working interest in the remaining 4,618 acres balance originally
farmed out from Norstra to Super Nova in January 2014. BNV will
endeavor to drill both wells by September 30th, 2014, but may have
this time extended, only for the second well, to June 15th, 2015 if
unanticipated delays occur.
Under the Agreement, Norstra's working and net revenue interest
stays unchanged, and will remain a "carried" 20% working interest.
This means the company, under the current agreements, will not have
to give up any ownership interest or contribute any financial
investment towards the project, but will maintain a constant 20%
working interest.
In consideration for the multiple direct and indirect benefits
to Norstra under this deal, the company has agreed to issue BNV
4,000,000 warrants to purchase Norstra stock for $0.125 for the
first year and $0.15 in the second year. BNV will only receive
these warrants upon deposit of $400,000 in a drilling escrow
account.
Glen Landry, CEO, Norstra Energy said:
"The more and more we do a regional evaluation of the rocky
mountain front where we are, the more and more were seeing a case
for proving up a natural gas 'province' or 'mountain front' in the
area. The company along with the oil and gas technical experts at
BNV have poured over all the data we could get our hands on, and
have mapped many high intrigue traps and structures we want to
target right away.
"We were and are a Company very interested in the deeper oil in
the Bakken formation, but the potential natural gas in Lewis and
Clark County cannot be ignored with its several hundred feet of pay
through two separate sand formations reaching depths of almost
5,000 feet.
"The Company continues to entertain other offers and interest
from potential partners and Investors to deepen our partially
drilled Milford Colony 13-11 well to ultimately test the Bakken
formation at approximately 8,800 ft. Norstra is still very positive
on the economic potential of the Bakken formation which blankets
our entire prospect."

ABOUT NORSTRA ENERGY
Through a continuously growing team of seasoned oil-patch
technical experts, energy entrepreneurs and project finance
experts, Norstra Energy looks to rapidly but methodically grow into
a meaningful oil producer. Norstra is working towards expanding the
excitement of the Bakken Shale oil deposit in North Dakota &
Eastern Montana, westerly towards the geologically promising Rocky
Mountain front of Lewis and Clark County, Montana. With lease rates
in the Southern Alberta Bakken Fairway not yet feeling the
inflationary pressures of the traditional Williston mountain front,
but exhibiting similar geology, Norstra's business plan consists of
drilling high probability wells within this up-and-coming area,
with the goal of consistently increasing shareholder value.
In addition to exploring the "mountain front opening"
opportunities of Western Montana, the Company's concurrent business
plan is to acquire and develop near-term producing, lower risk oil
& gas opportunities throughout the continental USA.
