Hi Buckey: A feature article in this weekend's Telegram entitled"Sensor reported to find oil deposits from Airplane", describes how Pinnacle Oil Int. Ltd. with its Stress Field Detector(SFD) technology, is predicting a commercial oil field at Pan Canadian's Shoal Point well-site.The article reports that Encal offered Pinnacle an 8% royalty from its percentage interest in the Shoal Point well.Dan Topolinsky,former senior VP of exploration with Renaissance Energy, now President of Pinnacle claims that the technology is 85% correct when it flies over oil or gas accumulation. The SFD survey system operates on the theory that subsurface mechanical stress in rocks and pressure differentials in fluids produce above ground, non-electromagnetic energy patterns. Having correctly predicted dry holes at AntiCosti Island, the technology is beginning to garner the attention of oil exploration companies.With Pan Canadian approaching target at its Shoal Point well, we won't have long to wait to see if Pinnacle has accurately zeroed in on the "golden goose" that many oil exploration experts believe is lying in wait somewhere on the West Coast of Newfoundland. On another point,with or without success by Pan Canadian, it looks like Vulcan Minerals will be the next Company to spud a test well on the Port au Port peninsula. In a May 13/99 press release,Mr Pat Laracy stated that Vulcan will commence drilling as soon as permitting is recieved from the Government of Nfld. and Labrador.Vulcan has now entered into a drilling contract with Eastern Oilfield Services Ltd. to drill the 300 metre well on the Company's Flat Bay permit.
