DOIG Delta Oil and Gas Discovers New Gas Pool in Todd Creek
Market Wire - November 23, 2005 9:00 AM (EDT)
SEATTLE, WA, Nov 23, 2005 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Delta Oil and Gas, Inc, (OTC BB: DOIG) is pleased to announce that it has completed testing of its Todd Creek Well located in 13-28-9-2W5 in Alberta, Canada and the well has been classified as a new natural gas pool discovery. Log analysis shows that the well has intersected two gas formations with a combined net pay of over 80 feet. Preliminary natural gas reserve estimates for this well exceed 700 Million Cubic Feet of gas.
Construction of a new gas processing plant just south of this Todd Creek discovery is expected to commence shortly and Delta expects to tie its anticipated gas production into this gas plant by spring of 2006. The gas plant is initially capable of accommodating 10 million cubic feet of gas per day with significant expansion capabilities. While Delta will have no direct interest in the plant, the immediate access to market for its anticipated production from the area is of substantial benefit.
Delta has a 20% working interest in 13.75 sections of land (8800 acres) in Todd Creek with an option to earn 15% in 7 additional sections of land (4,480) acres. It is estimated that gas reserves per section could reach 2.0 Billion Cubic Feet of gas. Further development of Todd Creek is planned for 2006 involving the drilling of several additional potential gas wells. Drilling of the next Todd well, located at 6-28-9-2W5, is planned to commence upon completion of the gas plant.
