Two Natural Gas Wells Back on Production at Joffre; Nordic Now Producing in
Excess of 100 BOEs/Day* at Joffre
Lease Construction Now Underway at Endeavour; Drilling to Start Next Week
WINNIPEG, Dec. 1 /CNW/ - Donald Benson, Chairman and CEO of Nordic Oil and Gas Ltd. (the "Company" or "Nordic"), (TSXV: NOG), is pleased to announce that production from its natural gas and Coal Bed Methane ("CBM") wells at Joffre, Alberta now exceeds 100 BOEs/day*. This is due to the fact that its 3-18-38-24 W4 and 16-20-38-24 W4 Belly River wells, both of which have been undergoing workovers, have been brought back on production.
A compressor has been put on the 3-18 well, while a workover, including new tubing in the well was completed on the 16-20 well. This brings to nine the total number of wells now on production at Joffre, and the Company intends to bring three additional existing wells on in the coming weeks.
"We are pleased to have these two wells back on production after having been down for some time," Mr. Benson stated. "Historically, the 3-18 well has been our best producer in Joffre and we continue to anticipate strong production from this well.
"The timing of putting these wells back on production coincides with seasonally high natural gas prices that usually occur over the next 120 days," he added.
With regard to the Company's new exploration wells to be drilled at Endeavour, Saskatchewan, Mr. Benson noted that construction of the first lease site has commenced in preparation for the start of drilling the first well next week.
"As we stated in our November 30, 2010 News Release, the rig will be transported to the 4-11 well site this coming week-end and we fully expect drilling to commence early next week."
