American Energy Production Inc. Announces Operations Update of Wholly Owned Subsidiary Production Resources Inc.
American Energy Production Inc. (OTCBB: AENP) announced today its wholly owned subsidiary Production Resources
Inc., (PRI) operations update.
Production Resources Inc. will have gross oil sales of approximately
$426,000 at the end of 2007 as compared to $384,000 in 2006. Several
factors contributed to this increase in oil sales. Number one is an
approximate 10% increase in daily oil production. Number two is obviously
the increase in the world price of crude oil. Number three is some new
chemical treatments combined with new oil recovery methods that PRI is
experimenting with.
Charles Bitters, President of American Energy Production Inc., stated, "We
are very pleased Production Resource Inc. is aggressively seeking new ways
to make the oil flow faster out of the Olmos Sand formation that covers the
1700 acres PRI has under lease in Medina County, Texas. Management has
always maintained that if the Company can determine how to change the
viscosity of the heavy oil there are millions of barrels of oil to be
produced in the field. Joe Christopher, President of Oil America Group,
another wholly owned subsidiary of American Energy Production Inc., and
Earl Walker, President of Production Resources Inc., are working on a down
hole formation heater that will heat the Olmos formation and change the
viscosity of the 22 gravity oil. The new formation heater should be
installed in the next few weeks."
Mr. Walker stated, "When American Energy Production Inc. acquired PRI we
were selling our oil for $24.00/barrel and now we are selling oil for
$75.00 to $84.00 a barrel. The price increase has allowed the Company to
institute a plan to remove the old hollow rod pumping technology that many
of the oil wells have in the field to produce the oil and begin installing
2 3/8" tubing and sucker rods that will not require as much maintenance on
the oil wells and will be more efficient. PRI is reworking ten wells at a
time depending on the availability of tubing and sucker rods. The Company
believes this oil well reworking and experimenting with several enhanced
oil recovery methods should enable PRI to greatly increase oil production
in 2008."
