Terrace adds additional acreage to its STS Olmos Project and provides operational update

VANCOUVER, Nov. 26, 2013 /CNW/ - Terrace Energy Corp. (the "Company") (TSXV:TZR), (OTCQX:TCRRF), (FRANKFURT:2TR) is pleased to announce it has reached an agreement to earn a significant block of additional acreage in McMullen County, Texas which is on trend with its highly successful STS Olmos Project. The Company has entered into a contract to acquire 33.34% working interest, 24% net revenue interest in 3,616 net mineral acres. Upon satisfaction of the earning provisions of this agreement, this acquisition will bring the Company's net mineral acreage position from 5,105 net acres to 6,310 net acres.

The Company has reached an agreement to acquire 33.34% working interest in an initial tract of 199.05 net mineral acres in exchange for a payment of US$33,173.00 and funding its proportionate share of an initial horizontal well into the Olmos formation at an estimated net cost to the Company of $1.8 million. Upon successful completion of the initial well, the Company will have 90 days in which to exercise its option to acquire at least 33.34% working interest in an additional 3,416.95 net mineral acres for an additional cash payment of approximately US$700,000.00.

In addition to the initial well, the Company expects that this acreage position will support 10 - 20 additional drilling locations in the Olmos formation.

As previously reported the Company and its partner, BlackBrush Oil & Gas have drilled 8 successful wells in the STS Olmos Project and have identified approximately 160 gross additional locations on the existing leasehold. Results to date have been extremely encouraging.  The most recent 4 wells have generated 30 day IP rates averaging nearly 600 BOPD (over 1000 BOEPD*) and have produced over 100,000 barrels of oil to date. These 4 wells are currently flowing at a combined rate of over 3,000 BOEPD*.

The Company and its partner are currently finalizing drilling plans and budgets to move the project from delineation into development phase early in Q1 2014 which will include multi-well drilling pads designed to optimize capital costs and improve infrastructure efficiencies. In preparation for this program, the partners have also reached agreement to rationalize leasehold interests throughout the existing project area to affect an overall 33% working interest in favor of the Company, proportionately reduced by third party interests in a portion of the project area. In total, the Company owns approximately a 30% working interest in the current project acreage. As the project expands, the Company and its partner will participate in new acreage at 50% working interest each, adjusted for third party interests.

George Morris, the Company's Chief Operating Officer, commented: "This acquisition is a continuation of our program to expand our acreage in this project area through a series of similar negotiations focusing on "drill-to-earn" contracts rather than traditional acquisitions. This is a core focus area for our Company and we are extremely pleased with the results achieved to date. We are planning an aggressive expansion of our drilling program in the area for 2014 and look forward to continuing success."
