BASE OIL & GAS LTD. PROVIDES AN UPDATE ON ITS THIRD AND FOURTH PEMBINA
CARDIUM HORIZONTAL WELLS
CALGARY, Nov. 23 /CNW/ - Base Oil & Gas Ltd. ("Base" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: BOG) is pleased to update the results of its third and fourth earning wells ("Earning Wells") under a previously announced farm-in agreement to develop Cardium production with a private company in the South Pembina area. The third Earning Well was stimulated with a 13-stage frac program and flowed on clean-up for 140 hours. Over a subsequent 48 hour production test, the well flowed at rates of 270 barrels of oil and liquids per day plus 1.8 MMcf/day of natural gas for a combined rate of 570 BOE's per day. To date approximately 60% of the load oil has been recovered. The well is expected to be tied-in by December 1, 2010. Base has earned a 30% working interest in this well and the related section under the farm-in agreement.
The fourth Earning Well is being currently drilled and is expected to be completed with a multi-stage frac program in early December. Under the aforementioned farm-in agreement, by paying 50% of the drilling, completion, equipping and tie-in costs of the fourth Earning Well, the Company will earn a 30% working interest in the fourth Earning Well and the Cardium rights within the section.
Base Oil and Gas Ltd. is a Calgary based emerging oil and gas company, focused on the development of Cardium oil & gas reserves in the Western Canadian Sedimentary basin.
References herein to "BOE" mean barrels of oil equivalent derived by converting gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of gas to one barrel (bbl) of oil. BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

The forward-looking statements contained in this document are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Base with respect to the Company's planned operational and exploration activities.
