Opal Energy Corp (the "Company") (OPA:V) hereby announces
the details of Proved and Probable reserves at the Dolan and Kane Brandon
prospects located in Texas as outlined in two independent reports compliant
with National Instrument 51-101 standards. These two reports indicate a gross
combined total of 95.4 Bcf of proved undeveloped reserves and 87.1 Bcf of
probable natural gas reserves.
KANE BRANDON WELL
The independent report indicates the presence of 65.2 billion cubic feet
("Bcf") of proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs) at the Kane Brandon
prospect in Colorado County, Texas. The Company holds a 100% working interest
and a 74% net revenue interest. The Company's net share is therefore 48.2
Bcf. The prospect is well situated within the prolific Middle / Lower Wilcox
Trend, with several large fields on trend: Dry Hollow Field (166 Bcfe),
Speaks Field (371 Bcfe), Provident City Field (852 Bcfe) all located to the
southwest, and Bonus Field (169 Bcfe) located to the northeast.
DOLAN PROSPECT
At the Dolan Prospect in Live Oak County, Texas, there are outlined 30.2 Bcf
of proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs) and 87.1 Bcf of probable reserves in
which the Company holds a 93.5% working interest and a 64.4% net revenue
interest. The Company's net share is 19.4 Bcf of Proven and 56.1 Bcf of
Probable reserves. Many well-known, prolific gas fields have been
discovered along this important trend, from Live Oak County all the way into
Zapata County, over 95
miles to the southwest. The Dolan Prospect is
targeting Massive Upper Wilcox Sands which are seen to be productive on
strike both to the northeast and southwest.
The Company may assign a portion of its interest in these two
prospects in order to obtain drilling and completion funds.
Commenting on the reports, Opal Chairman Ron Oligney said, "We are pleased with the status of reserves at
Kane Brandon and the Dolan Prospect especially with the Texas natural gas
prices in the $7 per mcf (thousand cubic feet) range. We now look forward to
funding the activities to move these projects forward. These two projects
provide excellent opportunities for the Company to potentially increase
production which should result in increasing shareholder value."
