Last week Osprey announced the acquisition of additional proven reserves of more than five billion cubic feet of gas and 845,000 barrels of oil from its Louisiana partner, BPR Energy, of Lafayette. Negotiations to acquire other assets in the area, including both proven reserves and promising exploration properties, are continuing. The company is also pleased to confirm the successful drilling and completion of an oil well in the Jenner area of Southern Alberta as announced in Stockwatch Feb. 1, 2002. Preparations are under way to drill another development well in the same area in April, with two additional wells expected to be drilled and completed before the end of the year. Osprey holds a 5-per-cent working interest with Conoco in this property. WARNING: The company relies upon litigation protection for "forward-looking" statements.
