Activa Resources AG, an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company specialising in the development and exploitation of oil and natural gas fields in North America is pleased to announce details of its best financial year to date and another strong drilling result with its latest OSR-Halliday horizontal well in East-Texas. In line with previous statements by management, Activa Resources AG generated net profits in 2013 for the first time in the company's history. Group net income amounted to EUR 128,000 vs. a loss of EUR 0.79 million in 2012. This is primarily a result of two new horizontal wells (4th and 5th) going on production at OSR-Halliday which enabled Activa to generate second-half net profits of EUR 0.91 million on revenues of EUR 3.17 million. Full year revenues rose 9 % to EUR 5.30 million. EBITDA growth was stronger at 31 % to EUR 1.96 million. The Balance Sheet Total increased 10 % to reach EUR 15.01 million (vs. EUR 13.66 million) at Dec. 31, 2013. In addition, Activa's net proven reserves increased 44% to 5.19 million BOE. In addition to improved financial performance in 2013 Activa is pleased to announce a strong result of its 6th horizontal well (78-2) at OSR-Halliday. The well has been flowing steadily at initial production rates of up to 800 BOED, thereby surpassing management expectations. The well is therefore performing in line with the previous best performing wells (No. 4 and 5) drilled in 2013 and again confirms the commercial potential of producing oil from the Woodbine Formation. The Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) of the 6th well is estimated at 400,000 - 500,000 BOE. The 7th well OSR-Halliday horizontal well has spudded and is currently drilling ahead. Pre-drill preparations for the 8th well are also underway and Activa is on schedule to drill three horizontal wells in 2014. Similarly strong results are expected given the proximity of these coming wells to the previous wells (No.s 4 to 6). In addition, the first new well at Halls Bayou, Brazoria County, Texas (Halls Bayou No.1) is spudding today. This vertical well is targretting oil and natural gas reserves at a total depth of 13,000 feet. Activas working interest in this USD 3 million well is approx. 12 %. Activa's CEO Leigh A. Hooper adds: "The initial strong performance of the 6th well at OSR-Halliday that we reported several weeks ago has been confirmed by its continued strong production. We now look forward to drilling the next OSR-Halliday wells together with new wells at our Halls Bayou and Pill Branch projects in the coming weeks and months. We expect 2014 and beyond to be another successful year for Activa in which we build on our successes of the previous years".
