DGAP-News: Activa Resources AG / Key word(s): Miscellaneous Activa Resources AG reports on progress at OSR-Halliday and Adams Ranch 04.02.2014 / 08:30 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Activa Resources AG reports on progress at OSR-Halliday and Adams Ranch - Drilling operations at 6th OSR-Halliday horizontal well are underway - Pre-drill preparation of 7th horizontal well in process - Adams Ranch: initial waterflood permit issued Bad Homburg, 4th February 2014 Activa Resources AG reports the following progress details on two of its oil projects in Texas. OSR-Halliday Activa has recently spudded its 6th horizontal well (78-2H) at OSR-Halliday, the company's main asset. Drilling is currently proceeding as planned at approx. 9,000 feet and is expected to take a further two weeks to reach a total depth of approx. 15,000 ft. The target formation is the Woodbine, one of the most prolific oil-bearing formations in East Texas. A 26 stage hydraulic fracturing stimulation will be carried out upon reaching total depth and production of oil, natural gas and NGL's will commence shortly thereafter. The well location is in the southern section of the field with potential for the IP rate to exceed 500 BOED and the Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) to be in the range of 350,000 to 500,000 BOE. Pre-drill preparations are also underway for the 7th horizontal which will also be located in the Southern section of the field. Adams Ranch In addition to the progress at OSR-Halliday the Texas Railroad Commission has now granted Activa its first water injection permit at Adams Ranch field in Medina County, Texas. Activa is planning to commence a pilot waterflood project in the field in 2014 in order to achieve a significant expansion of oil producing operations. Initially, an existing wellbore will be used to test water injectivity into the Escondido formation. Activa's technical team estimates potential recoverable heavy oil reserves of approx. 2 million barrels at very shallow depths. Leigh A. Hooper, CEO of Activa Resources AG adds: 'We expect the 6th horizontal well at OSR-Halliday to be on production by the end of Q1. We continue to plan for at least three new wells in the field during the course of the year. The waterflooding approval at Adams Ranch is also an important breakthrough for us. We have fully satisfied the requirements of the regulatory authorities and now look forward to start testing the viability of waterflooding at Adams.'
