SAN FRANCISCO, July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Worthington Energy, Inc. (OTC: WGAS) ("Worthington"), an energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and drilling of oil and natural gas properties, reports that the Company has again made significant progress on the I-1 Well completion and tie in.
"I'm thrilled to report that the platform deck for the I-1 Well has been set! The jacket and deck extension including all access ladders have been installed," commented Worthington Energy, Inc. President and CEO, Mr. Tony Mason. "We have also installed the heater and chemical tanks and fully welded the new Heli-Deck onto the platform."
"We have accomplished a major milestone," continued Mr. Mason. "In anticipation of going on line in the next few weeks, the work load going forward will involve the Sub Sea Tie In (SSTI) as well as testing all the equipment contained on the deck. As of Sunday night we have made substantial progress. It's great to see how everything is coming together for the completion of the platform. Please visit our website, www.wenergy.com, for pictures of our work in progress."
"Independent engineering reports on the initial reserve put the valuation of the behind pipe reserves in the I-1 well bore, P1 reserves, at around 15 BCF (billion cubic feet) plus liquids. Based on previous production from various nearby productive sands, we are looking at 28-38 bbl per mmcf. (barrels of oil per million cubic feet). The testing on the I-5 sands produced 37 API WTI (American Petroleum Institute West Texas Intermediate, a measure of the density of the crude) and we anticipate condensate production from the other productive sands over the field," explained Mr. Mason.
Worthington owns a 10.35% interest in the I-1 well plus a 2% Over Riding Royalty Interest (ORRI) over the 818-L block of the Mustang Island Field. The 818-L block was independently appraised by Petroleum & Geological Engineers, Huddleston & Co., Inc., and RPS, as containing proven reserves of between 30 and 40 BCF recoverable.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors

As noted above, statements of reserves are only estimates and may not correspond to the ultimate quantities of oil and gas recovered. Any reserve estimates provided in this press release that are not specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include estimated reserves not necessarily calculated in accordance with, or contemplated by, the SEC's latest reserve reporting guidelines.
