Victory Energy Acquires Increased Interest in Jones County Play
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Sept. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Victory Energy Corporation (OTCQB: VYEY), through its partnership with Aurora Energy Partners, is pleased to announce that the Company has increased its interest in the Jones County play effective September 1, 2011. The company will now own a 5.0% Working Interest for all new wells drilled within the 82 square mile (52,480 acres), 3-D Seismic supported prospect area.
This new working interest represents more than a three-fold increase from the original 1.5% held by the company.
Kenny Hill, Victory Energy's COO, stated, "The Jones County play has recently seen a marked improvement in the success rate of wells being drilled in the prospect area. Coupled with an improving production forecast, this interest increase should provide us a bit more revenue upside. Our next two wells are scheduled to spud near the middle of October."
Jones County Background

The prospective development area covers Jones County, Texas and is supported by eighty two (82) square miles (52,480 acres) of 3-D seismic data.
The operator, C.O. Energy, envisions drilling one to three wells per month until the targeted area is fully developed. Victory Energy maintains a thirty (30) day first right of refusal to participate in each prospect well.
Six wells have been drilled to date of which four wells were successful. The largest well to date (Nassau #1) was completed in August and has an estimated recoverable reserve of 100,000 barrels of oil and a yet to be determined volume of recoverable natural gas.
