LOS ANGELES and SONGYUAN, China, July 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China North East Petroleum Holdings Limited (OTC Bulletin Board: CNEH), an oil producing company in Northern China, today announced successful onshore exploration results for three significant wells drilled in the Company's Qian112 oil field. The wells further expand and delineate the existing areas of operation and production in the field. On July 3rd, the drilling team of Rising Sun Oil Exploration and Production Ltd. successfully completed the drilling work of three new wells (well reference number Qian5-2, Qian3-5 and Qian12-16). The "Qian5-2," a 5,905-foot exploratory well has encountered a 59-foot net pay horizon base on well log analysis. The well also confirmed additional pay stringer in an upper reservoir previously discovered. Additionally, by analyzing the geologic drilling log and well log, our engineers expect that the Qian5-2 well will be possibly producing around 35-38 barrels of oil, which is on the same production output level to Qian12-14. The geological logging analysis of the other two wells (Qian3-5 and Qian12-16) will be available and updated soon. In an ongoing effort, the company is planning to start the frac job on these three new wells in next 10 days. The fracturing team from Jilin Refinery has been arranged for conducting such job. Meanwhile, additional wells are planned to be drilled in Qian112 Field this year to further exploit the production potential of the field. "These successes underscore our corporate exploration and production strategy of focusing on core, high-impact opportunities that support our base business," said Hongjun Wang, president of China North East Petroleum Holdings Limited. "We are very pleased with the work performance and well drilling result of our drilling team; Rising Sun truly continues their success in Songyuan Region and delivering their commitment to our company's well drilling program.
