Marketwired Canada
Avatar Energy Ltd. ("Avatar" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:AVG) is pleased
to provide shareholders with an operational update on recent drilling activity
and land acquisitions in the Pembina area.
Avatar has recently completed its second horizontal well for the first quarter
of 2011, the first to be located on its East Pembina Cardium lands (65% WI net
to the Corporation). The well has 1,220m of horizontal section and was
stimulated with a 15 stage oil-based fracture treatment. The well was placed on
production March 28, 2011 with initial production rates of approximately
1m3/hour (150 bbls/day). The well has since stabilized at approximately 60
bbls/day. Management is using these encouraging results to further enhance the
company's drilling program with respect to well design and completion
procedures.
In addition to this drilling success, Avatar has acquired an additional 4.0
sections of contiguous land offsetting the Corporation's recent drilling
activity. Avatar's working interest in this additional acreage is 100% bringing
its total land holdings in the East Pembina area to 8.5 gross sections (6.39 net
sections).
The addition of the new land position provides Avatar with an increase of 10
additional horizontal drilling locations. Avatar currently has 25 proposed
horizontal drilling locations in its total portfolio located on its operated
land in the East Pembina area.
