BusinessWire Tuesday February 23 11:14am
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 23, 1999-- Ambra Resources Group (OTC BB:ABRG) Ambra Resources Group has achieved economic gas production from six of the first seven gas wells in which the company participates through the Amex Joint Venture in Cessford, Alberta. Additionally, well 6-20-25-8-W4M has undergone new fracturing in the Lower Manville Zone by the project's operator Starrock Resources Ltd. The process was highly successful and resulted in increasing the well's gas flow from 2.9 Million cubic feet per day to above 4.5 Million cubic feet per day.
Potential production of Gas from the Amex Joint Venture project continues to increase. The company now participates in six producing gas wells and can participate in the development of over eighty additional, permitted wells on the 23 square mile Amex JV property.
New fracturing is a highly cost effective method of obtaining increased production for Ambra Resources and the company's 5% net interest will result in approximately $16,500 of cash flow per month.
Further reactivation of additional existing wells and continued new fracturing of known producing zones will be also be accomplished. The new pipeline gathering system that is under construction will further enhance production revenues as each completed well is added to the pipeline. The Amex Joint Venture is providing the company with an increasing potential for major oil and gas discoveries as the exploration and production process continues to finance its own development. In the process of completing the remaining eighty wells, significant potential exists for a major new discovery in this highly prospective mineral field.
