Enhanced Oil Resources Inc. Provides July Operations and Drilling Update

HOUSTON, TX, July 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Enhanced Oil Resources Inc. (TSX-V: EOR) is pleased to provide the following update regarding the Company's operations for July.

As previously reported, the Company's primary goals for 2012 are to add production and reserves through infill drilling at the Milnesand oil field, located in Roosevelt County, New Mexico, to evaluate the Chaveroo oil field for potential infill drilling and to further the planning and permitting of a 41 mile CO₂ pipeline to connect Kinder Morgan's Cortez CO₂ pipeline to our Milnesand and Chaveroo oil fields by September 2015.

At the Milnesand oil field, drilling of the MSU #522 infill lateral has been completed and the rig is currently moving to the MSU #141 well to commence drilling a 2,500 foot infill lateral there. The MSU #141 is expected to spud within the next few days. The MSU #522 well was drilled to a total drill depth of 7,250 ft. (4,570 ft. true vertical depth) after initiating the lateral component of the well at a drill depth of 4,880 ft. (4,632 ft. true vertical depth). The well was drilled through the Upper P3, P2 and P1 reservoirs and encountered oil shows, with fluorescence and cut, over an interval exceeding 1,100 ft. The well has been cased over the interval from 4,300 ft. to 7,250 ft. and will be acidized and stimulated over seven stages. The Company estimates that acidizing and testing will occur within the next few weeks.

Oil production volumes for June averaged 360 bopd, a decrease of 15 bopd from May. The reduction in production volumes for June is due to the Crossroads 102 well remaining offline for the entire month after remediation efforts failed to bring that well back to production. That well continues to be worked over and is expected to return to production in due course. As previously discussed, the Company began fishing operations at the Crossroads 303 well to retrieve a submersible pump that parted in the well in November. To date the Company has washed over and milled up approximately 20 feet (ft.) of the obstruction and is making progress towards retrieving the remaining nine ft. of pump. The Company continues to work on the 303 well and is confident that we will be successful in due course.

Mr. Barry Lasker reports "The drilling and evaluation of this first lateral well in Milnesand is an important step for the Company. We are extremely pleased with the drilling results to date and we look forward to evaluating the performance of this well in the near future. We will provide further updates as they become available."
