Imperial Resources, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Imperial Oil & Gas, Inc. is pleased to announce that it is has received initial geological reports on its new Area of Mutual Interest ("AMI") in Oklahoma acquired under an agreement entered into in January 2012.
The report's findings are directly in line with the Company's expectations, specifically: 1) the target formation is present under the entire AMI; 2) it is of substantial thickness; 3) it has been and continues to be productive; and 4) it has similar geological characteristics to the area where a Test Well, in which Imperial has a nominal interest, is producing excellent results from a similar formation. Additionally, six other productive formations have been identified within the AMI.
The AMI has more than 10 historical wells within it, each of which has produced in excess of 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent. The data suggest the blanket formation contains a large quantity of high quality hydrocarbons across the AMI.
Imperial will continue to work with its local geologist with extensive experience in the area to identify and select the optimal areas with the intention to commence a leasing program, subject to funding. Imperial believes the AMI provides substantial drilling opportunities and excellent potential for uplift in acreage prices.
The Test Well has now been in production since November 2011, achieving initial flow rates of over 360 barrels of oil per day and 850 McF of gas per day. Cumulative production is over 31,000 barrels of oil and 100 million cubic feet of gas.
The Oklahoma resource play is one of two key projects identified as transformational for Imperial (the other being the Company's SWDF project which is currently being rebuilt).
