LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 27, 2005--Petrol Oil and Gas, Inc. (OTC:BB--POIG) announced today the expansion of its leased acreage position within its Petrol-Neodesha property by 400 gross acres. Petrol acquired the additional acreage adjacent to its producing property and has committed to drill three wells this year on the newly acquired leases. This lease acquisition follows the recent successful completion of Petrol's Phase I field enhancement program.
"Based on the recent Petrol-Neodesha successes we experienced in our Phase I enhancement program, including our 5 new Coal Bed Methane (CBM) wells, we proceeded to implement our acquisition plan designed to expand our oil and gas lease holdings in the area," said Paul Branagan, Petrol's Chief Executive Officer. "We acquired mineral leases covering 400 acres directly adjacent to our existing producing property. We are committed to drilling 3 wells within this new leased area in 2005."
According to a December 31, 2004 reserve report, Petrol has gross proved reserves amounting to approximately 9.9 Billion cubic feet (BCF) within its Petrol-Neodesha properties. Petrol-Neodesha, located in the Thayer field, is a very active CBM gas producing area and lies within Wilson and Neosho counties, Kansas. Petrol currently produces from 77 producing wells in Petrol-Neodesha which was acquired in November, 2004. Petrol plans to expand low-risk drilling activities throughout this year and next to increase production in the area. Petrol-Neodesha has room for an additional 95-100 drillable locations.
