Pulse Oil Corp. Announces Successful Bigoray Production Test, Additional Cashflow and EOR Advancements

CALGARY, June 5, 2019 /CNW/ - Pulse Oil Corp. ("Pulse" or the "Company") (TSX-V: PUL and PUL.WT) is pleased to announce an operational update on successful production results from Pulse's two new wells drilled within the Company's Bigoray assets (Pulse: 100%) located in Central Alberta.

Pulse spudded two wells at its 100% controlled Bigoray site in Q1 of 2019 and is happy to report both wells were safely and successfully drilled and completed, with permanent production expected to start within a week at rates that exceeded management's earlier expectations. Initial testing operations at Pulse's two Bigoray wells are indicative of new, strong and stabilizing production rates from the Company's D and E Nisku Pools.

Importantly, Pulse's 15-4 D-Pool well perforated 5.5 meters of the oil pay encountered while drilling, located in the uppermost, and previously undrained part of the reef. Initial fluids recovered were 100% load and completion water, but within one day, oil cuts increased to over 90%. The well is presently swab testing more than 400 barrels of light oil (35 API) per day, exceeding management's forecasts. The 15-4 well will be placed on permanent production using an electric submersible pump (ESP) and the necessary infrastructure and production lines are in place at the wellsite to start production.

The second Bigoray well drilled by Pulse, the 5-9 well, was swab/ flow tested and produced approximately 70 barrels of fluid per day with similar increasing oil cuts during testing.

Over the long-term, the two new wells will be used as solvent injectors for Pulse's Bigoray enhanced oil recovery ("EOR") project. The 5-9 well will inject solvent into the Nisku E pool; 15-4 into the Nisku D pool. However as previously disclosed by Pulse, the wells have the added benefit of providing immediate new oil production and cash flow while Pulse completes the remaining facility phases to commission the EOR project.

Drew Cadenhead, Pulse President and COO, commented, "Again we are happy to report we have achieved our goals for these wells. The newly acquired 3-D seismic data has helped us intercept the Nisku pinnacle reef at the highest structural point in both pools; a significant achievement for Pulse's long-term plan for the EOR program. The interpretation of this new data has not only provided long-term optimal EOR injection positioning, it has also provided immediate new reserves, production, and significant cash flow."   

The Company cautions that the short-term test rates disclosed in this news release are preliminary in nature and may not be indicative of stabilized on-stream production rates or of future product types.  The test results are not necessarily indicative of long-term well or reservoir performance or of ultimate recovery.  In addition, total fluid recovery rates during testing includes recovery of load fluids used in well completion stimulation operations.  Actual results will differ from those realized during testing, and the difference may be material.

Barrels of oil equivalent (boe) is calculated using the conversion factor of 6 mcf (thousand cubic feet) of natural gas being equivalent to one barrel of oil. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf:1 bbl (barrel) is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis.
