Opal Energy Corp (the "Company") is pleased to report that all warrants related to the March 1, 2006 financing have been exercised and has, over the last few months, netted the treasury a total of $3 million. The funds will be used to further exploration pursuant to the Company's South Texas Exploration Program, to secure significant additional natural gas opportunities in the short term and for working capital.
Lampley Well Update
Drilling on the 10,400 foot Lampley Well in Lavaca County, Texas is progressing and results should be known within two weeks. The Company has a 70% working interest in the Lampley Well and Paleon Oil and Gas Limited, a private Canadian company, has the remaining 30% working interest.
Ron Oligney, CEO, states; "The Lampley Well is one of a series of wells that we intend to drill over the next few months as part of our lower risk value building initiative. When we superimpose high value exploration opportunities such as the Vitera Prospect which hosts a structure over 100 times larger, the next few months will be very interesting indeed."
Opal Energy
Opal Energy Corp., through its U.S. subsidiary Opal Energy Inc., offers an aggressive, disciplined and results-oriented vehicle to invest in the U.S. Exploration and Production "E&P" sector with a particular focus on natural gas exploration targets in South Texas. The business strategy is to build asset value through drilling, growing a production platform upon which will be superimposed some potential high value exploration opportunities. Drilling inventory will be continuously enhanced by the implementation of a series of proprietary 3-D seismic shoots. Opal is securing funding partners for an initial US$16 million South Texas exploration package that calls for drilling numerous wells and completing a 75 sq. mi. seismic shoot over the next 9 months or so. The goal of the seismic shoot is to uncover dozens of new high-quality drilling prospects starting in Q4-2007.
