2006-08-22 05:00 ET - News Release
MINNEAPOLIS -- (Business Wire) -- Aug. 22, 2006
Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc., (OTCBB:AOGS) announced today,
through its relationship with KROG Partners, LLC, a Henderson, Texas
based operator, that Avalon and KROG have completed the workover the
Chance
#2 well. The workover was performed as planned and within
budget, and has achieved successful results. Production from the
Chance lease has increased approximately 2-3 BOPD as a result of the
workover, with relatively low associated water production. The
workover included setting a packer to isolate a potential casing leak,
and setting a pump, rods, and a pumping unit in order to re-establish
production from the previously shut-in well.
The Chance lease, which includes the Chance
#1 and
#2 wells, is
producing from the Woodbine Interval, within an active waterflood
area. Total production from the Chance lease is averaging 7-8 BOPD,
and Avalon owns a 50% working interest in the leasehold.
Avalon's Chief Executive, Kent Rodriguez, commented, "We continue
to make significant inroads in terms of increased production capacity
on lease assets we believe to have low-risk and high production
profiles and are continuing our efforts to locate and acquire new
lease opportunities consistent with our growth-at-a-reasonable-price
philosophy." He continued, "We believe that with enhancements,
production profiles and capabilities on these properties can be
ratcheted up dramatically, allowing this acquisition to effectively
'pay back' its principal purchase price within twelve months. We are
currently evaluating other opportunities with similar return profiles
and anticipate announcing more developments shortly.
