Treaty Energy Completes Acquisition in Texas and Kansas

NEW ORLEANS, July 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Treaty Energy Corporation (OTCQB: TECO), a growth-oriented energy company in the oil and gas industry, today reported that it has made the final payment on the acquisition of two leases in Texas, the SHOTWELL W. F. and the SHOTWELL "C" leases.  The total cash amount paid for these leases was $170,000.

These SHOTWELL leases bring additional barrels of oil per day to our existing Texas production.  These leases require no work over and more significant to Treaty Energy is the addition of 30 virgin well drilling sites.

Stephen L. York, President and COO of Treaty Energy Corporation, stated, "With the completion of the SHOTWELL acquisition we now have 13 leases covering 1,900 acres with current production of 35-40 barrels of oil per day."

Mr. York added, "I expect production to increase monthly as we bring wells back online that have been shut in due to a variety of reasons.  We expect substantial production increases to be made as we drill the ten new wells that are planned for completion during the third quarter of this year."

Treaty Energy's CEO, Andrew V. Reid, stated, "I am very pleased with the progress being made daily in Texas and I look forward to rapidly achieving the target goal of 1,000 barrels of oil per day from our Texas leases."

Mr. Reid stated further, "It is very exciting to announce that we have made a real breakthrough in Kansas.  As of today 'Treaty Development of Kansas LLC' is in place with its registered office located at 16205 W. 287th St., Paola, Kansas 66071.  Additional information on Kansas progress will be released next week."
