Fortem Resources prepares to commence field operations at its Godin Property in North Central Alberta, Canada

VANCOUVER, May 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Fortem Resources Inc. (TSXV: FTM; OTCQB: FTMR) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it is in the process of commencing field operations through its wholly owned subsidiary Colony Energy, LLC ("Colony") at its Godin Property in north central Alberta.  Colony has the rights to an undivided 100 percent working interest in a total of 80 contiguous sections (51,200 acres) in addition to its 20 contiguous sections (12,800 acres) of heavy oil leases (the "Heavy Oil Leases") in north central Alberta.

Colony has prepared tenders and is seeking bids from various service companies to put its first well on its Godin property in production.  Colony anticipates that this work will consist of upgrading roads to re-access the well to perform the removal of plugs in the wellbore, perforating an additional 5 meters of pay over the Wabiskaw formation, running of downhole PCP (positive cavity pump) and placing the well on production test.  Colony intends to commence field activities upon road clearance and further well developments once all the necessary preparations have been completed, which is anticipated to start in the third quarter (Q3) of 2019 (July 1 – Sept 30).

Field activities are currently being held up due to road bans on the access roads which are not expected to be lifted for another two to three weeks. Once the road bans have been lifted, Colony plans to assess the wellsite conditions for any remedial construction work to allow access for the completion rig and sundry equipment. The actual workover of the existing well should not take more than a week to complete, and Colony expects production to commence shortly thereafter.

The Heavy Oil Leases

Canadian Natural Resources Inc (CNRL) is producing in excess of 88,000 barrels of oil per day of heavy crude oil from over 650 wells at the Wabiskaw formation (approximately 15 kilometers east of Colony's Heavy Oil Leases).  Colony's technical team has determined that CNRL's Brintnell field is very similar to Colony's Godin field.

Marc Bruner, the Company's Chairman and CEO, commented that "this is a moment we at Fortem have all been waiting for.  It has taken a lot of time and work to prepare these Fortem assets and we are looking forward to successfully proving the models."
