American Energy Production Inc. Announces Success on Re-Start of Uni-Draulics Jet Pump on Bend Arch Petroleum Inc. Nash 1-C Barnett Shale Well
Tuesday August 2, 9:00 am ET
MINERAL WELLS, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2005--American Energy Production Inc. (OTCBB:AMEP - News) announced today its wholly owned investee Bend Arch Petroleum Inc. began re-start operations of a uni-draulics jet pump on the Nash 1-C Barnett Shale well.
Charles Bitters, President of American Energy Production Inc. stated, "Bend Arch Petroleum Inc. began successfully producing the Barnett Shale well on Friday, July 29, after exchanging the complete down hole jet assembly and production tubing. The Nash 1-C is still not stabilized but on Monday August 1, the well produced in excess of 20 barrels of high gravity oil and 100,000/cubic feet of natural gas. At today's market price of $60.00/barrel for oil and $8.00/mcf of natural gas this would be approximately $1600.00/day or $48,000.00/month or $570,000.00/year gross revenue. This will add a very nice piece to the Bend Arch Production Inc. income. The company will post more results once the well has a chance to stabilize therefore giving a clearer picture as to the future of the Nash 1-C well."
The installation of the uni-draulics jet pump on the Nash 1-C well instead of a conventional pumping unit will move more oil and produced water from the well bore faster and more efficiently than the conventional pumping unit.
Charles Bitters also stated, "Bend Arch Petroleum Inc. has accumulated over 7,000 acres of leases that have potential Barnett Shale production. Oil America Group Inc. of Dallas, Texas another 100% owned investee of AMEP plan to offer drilling partnerships to potential investors to drill Barnett Shale wells on the above mentioned properties in the near future. Oil America Group Inc. will begin offering these partnerships in the next two weeks. For more information contact Joe Christopher at Oil America Group Inc."
