CALGARY, AB, Oct. 19, 2023 /CNW/ - Uriel Gas Holdings Corp. (CSE: UGH) ("Uriel" or the "Company"), a growth oriented junior oil and gas exploration and production company, today provides a corporate update, including several key operating and corporate developments, outlined in greater detail below.
It has been a very busy last year for Uriel Gas after the Company's first acquisition in the Richdale area of southern Alberta in July 2022. Operations at the Richdale oil pool included a full turn-around at the 8-5 Facility and well repairs of existing wells to stabile production and cash flow. The Company acquired, reprocessed and interpreted additional 2-D Trade seismic lines confirming the southern extent of the pool. Mapping west of Richdale identified additional light oil opportunities which resulted in the identification of the Crossfield East project. Uriel posted lands for sale immediately adjacent to a lead well producing very light oil from the Ellerslie Formation and was successful at the April 2023 Crown land sale. Mapping indicates aerial extent to this oil charged shoreface sandstone, resulting in the booking of one horizontal well (with several additional feasible horizontal locations). A secondary shallower horizon (Cardium Formation) is present and charged with light oil and affords the company additional development potential.
In addition to the Richdale acquisition, Uriel completed three asset acquisitions at Greater Grande Prairie ("GGP") with helium in concentrations between 0.6% and 0.85%. Work continues with plans to reactivate the shut-in Banff gas pool in early 2024. Mapping continued in the GGP region resulting in the identification of multiple leads with seismic confirmation (all with helium concentrations > 0.5% and as high as 8.5%).
In the Company's ongoing efforts to high-grade its asset inventory, several potential acquisition candidates have been brought forward with additional work/evaluation being carried out.
The Company is in the process of evaluating opportunities to move forward with development projects in early 2024 in order to maximize shareholder value.
