BRS BRS Resources Ltd

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - Dec 4, 2013) - BRS Resources Ltd. ("BRS") (TSX-VENTURE: BRS) is pleased to announce that Po Valley Energy ("PVE") completed well testing of its Gradizza-1 discovery well. PVE drilled and tested the well in September and scheduled additional tests in November. On November 20, the well tested natural gas at a stabilized rate of 696,000 cubic feet per day with 492 psi flowing tubing pressure on a 1/4-inch choke. No formation water, pressure decline, or gas impurities were recovered during testing and the bottom-hole pressure measured was approximately 1,200 psi. The well is currently shut-in, waiting on installation of surface facilities, pipeline hookup, and regulatory approvals. BRS holds an interest in the Gradizza well through its membership in AleAnna Resources, LLC.

The Gradizza-1 well, in which AleAnna owns a working interest, is located in PVE's La Prospera permit, which is north and adjacent to AleAnna's Ponte Del Diavolo permit. During the drilling phase, the Gradizza-1 well encountered 33 feet (10 m) of gas-bearing sands at an approximate depth of 3,372 ft (1,028 m). In addition, the Gradizza-1 well served as a stratigraphy test for AleAnna's look-alike prospects located within 3 miles (5 km) southwest of the well. By using the Gradizza-1 well data, AleAnna can more accurately interpret and target similar-looking pay horizons in its prospects. An added advantage for AleAnna is that all of AleAnna's prospects have been surveyed with 3D seismic technology, which greatly enhances AleAnna's ability to image geological structures and anomalies. Further, AleAnna's prospects, as well as the Gradizza-1 well, are on trend with a number of nearby producing natural gas fields, including the Sabbioncello and Tresigallo fields, which have produced more than 90 and 68 Bcf of natural gas, respectively.

BRS president and CEO Steve Moore commented, "Gradizza was an important well for AleAnna and BRS in establishing production in Italy and in broadening and quantifying our prospect portfolio in our adjacent Ponte del Diavolo permit. We are pleased with the Gradizza test data, which is in line with our pre-drill expectations and economic modeling. We are also pleased with the operational progress made by our Gradizza well partner and operator, Po Valley Energy."
