Announces Property Acquisition HOUSTON, July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- ARXA International Energy, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ARXA - news) announced today acquisition of a 100% working interest in the Lewis Ranch and London Gin interests located in Matagorda and Nueces Counties, Texas, from Cohiba Natural Gas, an affiliate of OPMI Operating Company/Todd C. Harwell. Craig Ford, President and CEO of ARXA, stated that ''Existing production from the London Gin, C. N. Cook #4 well will add approximately $2,600 per month in net cash flow, while the J. C. Lewis #5 in Lewis Ranch is expected to initially contribute another $9,000 per month and the Lewis #4, after an estimated $10,000 in workover costs, should initially contribute another $7,000 per month''. Mr. Ford went on to explain that ''The Lewis Ranch interest has upside development potential of in excess of 1 billion cubic feet of gas which can be exploited through existing well bores. At current prices a Bcf of gas should generate $2.4 million in gross cash flow.'' Mr. Ford concluded by stating that ''London Gin and Lewis Ranch are the sort of opportunities which ARXA created by painstakingly building our deal source network and then positioning ourselves with the financial resources to immediately capitalize when the opportunity appears. The London Gin and Lewis Ranch interests were acquired for stock and cash and at a price based on their producing reserve value only. This pricing scenario leaves the bulk of the value in the upside potential which effectively has a ''zero'' cost to ARXA beyond direct development costs which will be minimal because exploitation will primarily be through existing well bores.''
