Strata-X Wraps Up Drilling at New Albany Shale Prospect

Strata-X Energy Ltd. has completed drilling operations to the landing point of the Burkett 5-34HOR well for the Vail Oil Project at 4,984 feet measured depth.
During the drilling of the curve on the horizontal well, oil and gas shows were encountered in the New Albany Shale formation in addition to encountering oil and gas shows in the targeted Devonian Lingle formation. Operations are currently being undertaken to set production casing to the landing point of the well after which the lateral portion of the well will be drilled in the targeted Lingle formation.
The Company incurred a delay in reaching the landing point of the well due to technical complications kicking off the well from the vertical pilot hole and drilling rig issues, both of which have been resolved.
