To All, HTML1DocumentEncodingutf-8Houston, TX - January 27, 1998 - OILEX, INC. (OTCBBS - OLEXD) announced today that it has now received a new trading symbol (OLEXD) as well as a new cusip number (678034 20 8) in conjunction with the 20 to 1 reverse stock split it announced on January 9, 1998. OLEX also announced that the new infield wells Biedeger #1-19 & C.R. Thompson #9-9 which are located in the Bigfoot Field are now online and in production. The Biedeger #1-19 is flowing by itself & the C.R. Thompson #9-9 is flowing with the assistance of swabbing. OLEX has also completed the logging, perforating and fracing of the C.R. Thompson #6-17 & Meador #4-8. Both of these new infield wells should be online within a few weeks. OLEX has plans to drill additional new infield wells at Bigfoot directly and on a participation basis with the four it has already drilled. In related news, OLEX management unwound its agreements with privately held Geronimo and the two year option to acquire 40% of Titan Energy Corp., Inc. Both of these transactions would have added $21.5 million in debt to the OLEX balance sheet. OLEX management believes that while in a developmental stage status, and upon the advise of its investment banking consultants, taking on the debt would have endangered the growth curve the company has historically experienced under current management. Even though OLEX has unwound its agreements with TANC, OLEX still has the « of 1 percent overriding royalty interest on the 13 million ñ acres in Australia that TANC owns. OLEX also has kept the first right of refusal on swabbing units built by Oil Retrieval Systems, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of TANC.
