CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jul 20, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Platina Energy Group, Inc. (OTCBB:PLTG) (Frankfurt:O5Y), is pleased to announce that upon completion of the 35 well joint venture program in Young County, initial production to Platina's interest could top 10,000 barrels of oil per month. According to a third party report, total production over 11 years is estimated to be 28,000 barrels per well. At current prices, net revenues to Platina's interest could exceed $750,000.00 per month. Young County is a highly defined shallow well prospect located in West Texas.
"This field includes currently producing wells and proven reserves potentially worth millions of dollars according to independent data," stated Mr. Blair Merriam, CEO and President of Platina Energy Group, Inc. "Using an extrapolated version of the average pay-zone information from the area, and according to a third party report, estimated initial daily production should range from 20-50 barrels per day per well. Also, advancements in recovery technology may be able to increase well productivity by 150-200% or more. Our internal estimates are based on initial production of 35 barrels per day before decline curve amortization."
The Company's development plan for the Young County Lease will be implemented in two phases. Phase one, which encompasses the initial development of approximately 20 well sites, has been committed through a third party joint venture agreement with Zone Petroleum, a third party energy finance Company. The first well permits have been issued and drilling is expected to commence before the end of July 2007.
Phase two of the development plan, which also calls for the development of approximately 15 additional well sites, is presently available to third party investors in conjunction with the primary agreement with Zone Petroleum. The cost to drill and complete these wells under the current guaranteed production program is just under $5 million.
