Enhanced Oil Resources Inc. Provides June Operations Update

HOUSTON, June 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Enhanced Oil Resources Inc. (TSX-V: EOR) is pleased to provide the following update regarding the Company's operations for June.

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 advance our planning and permitting objectives for the approximate 41 mile CO₂ pipeline connecting Kinder Morgan's Cortez CO₂ pipeline to our Milnesand oil field by September 2015.

Oil production volumes for May averaged 375 bopd, a decrease of 19 bopd from April. The reduction in production volumes for May is due to the Crossroads 102 well being shut in for most of the month due to a down-hole failure. That well has been worked over and is expected to return to production in the next few days. As previously discussed, the Company had been waiting for the delivery of fit-for-purpose tools to attempt additional fishing operations at the Crossroads 303 well for a parted submersible pump. Fishing operations have commenced, however, as of this date we have been unsuccessful in retrieving the remainder of the submersible pump from the well. The Company is continuing to work on the 303 well and is optimistic that production can be re-established in due course.

At the Milnesand oil field, we are preparing for the arrival of Key Energy's drilling rig on the Milnesand #522 wellbore to begin a 1400-foot lateral into an offsetting 20-acre in-fill location.  The arrival of the drilling rig will commence the previously announced 3 well horizontal drilling program, the first horizontal wells ever to be drilled in the field. We will provide updates as they become available.

At the Crossroads oil field, we have contracted with Dawson Geophysical to acquire the first ever 3-D seismic survey at that field and expect to commence that program in the third quarter of 2012, pending final permit approvals.

At the Chaveroo oil field we have received all well log information not previously owned and we have provided that data to external consultants to perform a field-wide log normalization project.  We believe that this project is necessary to support the definition of additional oil reserves over our substantial leasehold position.

We continue the surveying and permitting of the Cortez to Milnesand CO2 pipeline. Survey work will be completed in the third quarter of 2012, with rights- of- way agreements being completed by the end of the year.
