Imperial Resources, Inc.; SWDF Full Disposal Test to Commence

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Imperial Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: IPRC) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Imperial Oil & Gas, Inc. (together the "Company", "Imperial") is pleased to announce that over the coming days the Company expects to be flowing water through the entire facility and disposing at depth at its rebuilt Green Tide Salt Water Disposal Facility ("SWDF").

The Company is accumulating water to fill the system and commence disposal down the wellbore. This test will also enable the Company to check that the remediation works to the offloading lines and pipework reinforcement has been carried out satisfactorily. Subject to this testing being successful, the Company will commence commercial operations.

During the recent testing process a number of modifications, improvements and retrofitting have been made on the oil separation equipment aimed at optimising both water flow and oil capture during disposal operations. The Company anticipates that oil recovery of at least 0.25% to 0.5% of disposal volume is achievable, amounting to between 2.5 and 5 barrels of oil recoverable for sale from every 1,000 barrels of water disposed. At the full permitted capacity, this equates to between 37.5 and 75 barrels of oil per day and may have a significant impact on total SWDF revenues.

Imperial is also pleased to announce that on July 31, 2012 it closed a private offering for a total of $100,000 from a single investor made under Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.  The investor subscribed for a total of 506,483 shares at a price of approximately $0.20.

Demand for water disposal remains strong and the Company is pleased to note a surprising amount of activity in the Barnett Shale despite the recent low gas prices The Company is confident it can attract disposal business up to the full operational limit of the SWDF once it is functioning, which the Company believes will provide substantial cashflow.
