Quest Oil Initiates Phase One Drilling Program for Acadia North Gas Project
By Staff
ARLINGTON, Texas, May 25, 2005 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) --
The Board of Directors of Quest Oil Corporation (OTCBB:QOIL) ( www.questoil.com ) is pleased to announce that the Company has mobilized its project geologist and survey crew to its Acadia North project, located in Municipal District of Acadia No. 34, Alberta in advance of a 3,000 ft (950 m) drilling program. This drill program marks the Company's first drilling campaign on the Acadia North Project and, when completed, will satisfy the Company's commitment to drill a minimum of one well on or before June 30th, 2005.
The Acadia Project is located in southeast Alberta near the Saskatchewan border. Acadia North consists of two sections totaling 1,280 gross acres overlying the vast Viking gas target. The Arneson Viking Pool is a shoreface sand deposit and oriented in a NE-SW direction. The pool has been encountered by four previously drilled wells since 1972. The porous sand ranges from 30 feet to 46 feet thick and contains gas. Pay zone thickness ranges from 4 feet to 12 feet with a proven and probable recoverable reserve of 10 BCF at a market value of $30 million.
On May 20, 2005 Quest Oil completed and closed project financing for $750,000 USD. These funds have allowed for immediate application for licensing and permitting of the two Acadia North gas sections. Quest Oil's operator, Transaction Oil and Gas Ventures has been retained to provide turnkey development through to tie-in. Survey crews are on site and will be determining potential drill site locations over the next three weeks. Drill rigs at present are being scheduled for mid-June and once on-site a two well drill program is expected to span a ten-day period through to completion and tie-in.
About Quest Oil Corporation
