DGAP-News: Activa Resources AG / Key word(s): Drilling Result Activa Resources AG: successful fifth horizontal well at OSR-Halliday goes on production 18.07.2013 / 08:30 --------------------------------------------------------------------- NEWS RELEASE 18th JULY 2013 Activa Resources AG: successful fifth horizontal well at OSR-Halliday goes on production - 5th OSR-Halliday horizontal well on production at 600 BOED - Field development programme set to continue in coming months Bad Homburg, 18th July 2013. Activa Resources AG, an independent oil and gas producer with operational knowhow in the development and efficient exploitation of oil and natural gas properties, provides initial details of its latest horizontal well to go on production at its main oil and natural gas project OSR-Halliday Unit in East Texas. The 5th horizontal well (105-5H), which spudded on 3rd April 2013, has been on production since June and is now consistently producing 600 BOED, thereby fully meeting the company's expectations. This comprises 80% oil and 20% natural gas and natural gas liquids. The well is located in the southern section of the field. Activa's CEO Leigh A. Hooper adds: 'This is another excellent result - especially considering the fact that the horizontal section of this well is approx. 1,000 feet shorter than its predecessor (96-4H). We have now put 5 horizontal wells in a row on production. All wells are producing.' Development of the OSR-Halliday field is set to continue with the 6th well likely to spud in the coming months. Activa's technical team, which leads the G&G work at OSR-Halliday, presented a revised 56 well drilling plan (previously 50) for the field at a recent partners meeting in Dallas. Activa continues to estimate 350,000 to 450,000 BOE per well and therefore total primary recoverable reserves in the field exceeding 19.6 million BOE. All partners are committed to further development of the field.
