DGAP-News: Activa Resources AG / Key word(s): Drilling Result Activa Resources AG: Successful exploratory well at new project 29.10.2013 / 09:00 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Activa Resources AG: Successful exploratory well at new project - First vertical well successfully drilled and put on production - Activa planning further drilling to confirm potential of acreage Bad Homburg, 29th October 2013 Activa Resources AG has successfully drilled and put its first vertical well at a new US oil project on production. Project X is the working title of a new oil prospect, in which Activa owns a 100% working interest, covering approx. 1,600 acres in an area with a strong oil production history. Preliminary assessment of the new well by Activa's technical team and external experts suggest that Project X is a suitable horizontal drilling candidate. In the coming months Activa is planing to increase its acreage position and drill a second well. It has not yet been decided whether to drill a second vertical well or to commence horizontal drilling operations. Leigh A. Hooper, CEO of Activa Resources AG, adds: 'Our aim is to make Project X into a viable multi-million barrel horizontal play. The key initial step towards achieving this goal is the completion and production test of this new well. Our strategy is similar to OSR development plan - identifying commercial vertical well production and then gear up production by implementing horizontal drilling technology. Project X provides low cost entry into a scalable prospect that could possibly mirror Activa's OSR success with Activa in control of operations.' Further information will be made available in due course.
