Silver Star Updates Operations at Joarcam and North Franklin
Thursday June 30, 9:00 am ET
LOS ANGELES, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 30, 2005 -- Silver Star Energy, Inc. (OTC BB:SVSE.OB - News) today updates progress from ongoing oil and gas operations and drilling at Joarcam and North Franklin.
At Joarcam, the Company has received sales from Nexen for the 30 day production period at the "13-27" well totaling 1,311 barrels at a rate of 44 barrels per day. The well has now cumulatively produced 5,400 barrels in 4 months.
The "13-22" well began commercial production on June 25th after a slight delay waiting for electricity to be installed at the site due to wet conditions on the lease. The site and tank facilities at the "13-22" well location are complete and the Company has begun trucking oil for sale to Nexen. The initial production rates are now being established as the well is slowly stabilizing. The oil cut is increasing over time and yesterday's daily production of 22 barrels per day is anticipated to increase. The offsetting "4-27" well has been producing at 35 barrels per day since January 2004 and underwent similar oil cut stabilization. Silver Star has previously announced that the operator and reservoir engineering projection was for the well to produce between 35-50 barrels per day from the completion data and logs. The Company expects to meet this production target over time as the well stabilizes.
Additional oil production revenue from the "13-22" well for June will be booked in Q2 financials along with revenue from the "13-27" well and "Archer-Whitney" at North Franklin, California. Currently, the 38 degree API light oil at Joarcam has been priced at over $73.00 CDN ($58.00 US) per barrel.
The Company is rapidly developing its "core" Joarcam Project with two successful oil producers in the "13-27" and "13-22" wells. The next well to be drilled is the "12-27" location where an A.F.E. is now being generated. Combined daily production now approximates 66 barrels per day. Silver Star has a 70% working interest and a 56% net revenue interest. The operator of the project, Transaction Oil and Gas Ventures, is currently incurring a total production cost including trucking of $8.00 per barrel. This cost will decrease over time and will be lower as more wells come on line and as the Company considers tieing into large tank battery or pipeline for the project.
The Company also wishes to update the progress of the "Archer-Wildlands #1" well at North Franklin. The well is now at 2,400 feet and is on schedule to meet the total depth of 8,000 feet next week.
