PTOG Commentary: "We are excited having acquired this initial 80 acre project with another 480 acres targeted on the area. We expect immediate results on the reworked wells. We also plan to test an opportunity in the Mississippi and Woodford zones. These well could initial flow 50 to 60 barrels a day with at least 6 drilling locations spotted on our lease. We estimate the minimum oil produced from existing wells to be 20 barrels a day with another 300mcf of gas a day. We continue to look for undervalued opportunities to increase PETROTECH OIL AND GAS assets and income base." Stated Eddie Schilb, President.
