Dixie Energy Trust Drills and Completes Two Oil Wells in Mississippi

CALGARY, March 21, 2013 /CNW/ - Dixie Energy Trust ("Dixie" or the "Trust") is pleased to announce that it has drilled and completed two horizontal oil wells ("Holliman #1" and "Holliman #2") in the Maple Branch field, Mississippi. Dixie anticipates bringing both wells on production in the coming weeks.

"We are encouraged by the drilling results of both wells," said Rick Fletcher, chief executive officer of Dixie.

The words "believe", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "project", "scheduled", and similar expressions, as well as future or conditional verbs such as "will", "should", "would", and "could" often identify forward- looking statements and forward-looking information. 

With respect to forward-looking statements contained herein, Dixie has made assumptions regarding, among other things: the absence of any operational or other interruptions that could have the effect of delaying, postponing or otherwise preventing Dixie from bringing the expected production from Holliman #1 and Holliman #2 on-stream; the availability of third party service providers and infrastructures to enable Dixie to bring its expected production on-stream; and the anticipated benefits of horizontal drilling techniques compared to conventional vertical drilling techniques. Although Dixie believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein, and the assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are made, are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements included herein, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which the forward-looking statements are based will occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur, which may cause Dixie's actual performance to differ materially from any expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things: the risks and uncertainties associated with the oil and gas industry generally, and particularly in the United States, including Mississippi and Alabama, including political, regulatory, environmental and other legal risks; the risk that there is a lack of availability of third party service providers and infrastructures to enable Dixie to bring its expected production on-stream in the timeframes expressed herein, or at all; the risk that Dixie may not achieve production targets, or that production volumes decline sooner than expected that have the effect of delaying or preventing Dixie from bringing its expected production on-stream in the time periods anticipated, or at all; and the risk that horizontal drilling and other exploration technologies used will not provide conclusive proof prior to drilling a well that crude oil is present or may be produced economically and that it will not provide the expected benefits expressed herein. Readers are cautioned that this list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive.  Although Dixie believes that the expectations represented by such forward-looking-statements and forward-looking information are reasonable based on the information available to them on the date of this press release, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
