Power Exploration Acquires Data and Working Interest in East Texas FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Power Exploration, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PWRX) announces today that it purchased 430 square miles of 3D seismic and a working interest in 140,000 acres in east Texas. Guy Pyron, Chief Executive Officer of Power, announced that the data and working interest rights were purchased from MB Exploration, Inc. of Dallas, Texas. Mr. Pyron states, "This is an excellent acquisition for Power and allows us to significantly increase the Company's presence in east Texas, and in particular, its ability to explore for commercial natural gas production. The data acquisition alone is a small coup for the Company as 3D seismic costs run approximately $50,000 per square mile. The true value of data is therefore over $20 million. This coupled with the working interest rights will significantly increase shareholder value." In addition to the acquisition of the data and working interest rights, Power Exploration, Inc. becomes a participant in a well that is located in its working interest acreage. The well, currently being drilled by Sonat Exploration, Inc. (NYSE: SNT), is expected to predominantly produce gas and liquid condensate. Mr. Pyron also indicated that favorable results from the "Sarah Parker #1" drilling (the current Sonat well) will support the Company's belief that there are several major gas fields contained within its newly acquired acreage position. Prior discoveries in this recently acquired area yielded between 5 to 25 billion cubic feet of natural gas at drilling depths below 10,000 feet. Power Exploration, Inc. currently has plans to drill a minimum of 10 wells for this current calendar year. Power Exploration, Inc. is an oil and gas exploration company that has conducted extensive exploration in east Texas. In addition to exploration and development of new properties, Power redevelops currently producing oil fields, and researches and develops exploration and recovery technologies, including the manufacture of new, cutting-edge oil recovery equipment. Together with its cost-cutting exploratory research capabilities, and the Company's ability to expeditiously identify potential prospects, Power Exploration, Inc. positions itself for a successful advantage over competitors. Power Exploration, Inc. is a developmental stage global resource company with holdings in Texas and Australia.
