CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 13, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abby, Inc. (OTCBB:ABBY) In connection with a previously executed option agreement between Abby and Black Star 231 Corp. on October 31, 2012, Abby exercised its option for the second parcel in the Stateline Oilfield in Richardson County, Nebraska. This oilfield is comprised as part of the SE quarter of the NE quarter and the East half of the SE quarter of section 27, containing approximately 87 acres. The option cost was $5,000. If all seven parcels of the original option agreement are exercised, it would encompass approximately 2100 acres. The announcement on October 31, 2012 disclosed that the first cash call will be for $138,650 per Unit. If Abby, Inc. chooses to acquire its 75% working interest the first cash call will total $415,950. The $415,950 includes two wells for both the Rose Dome parcel and the second parcel optioned today.
If both wells are completed for production there will be a second cash call of $133,500 per Unit or $400,500 for Abby, Inc. to retain its 75% working interest. For each well not completed for production in this drilling program the second call amount is reduced by $66,775 per Unit of participation.
Abby does not currently have sufficient funds to acquire a 25% working interest which represents the minimum number of units which can be purchased by Abby in both parcels.
Abby, Inc. President Tom Forzani said, "We chose to exercise the option on the second parcel of the Stateline Oilfield based on the information provided by our operating partner, Black Star 231 Corporation and our confidence in them in the development of this oilfield. We are committed to our working relationship with Black Star 231 Corp. and look forward to the completion of these first two wells."
Forzani went on to say that, "Abby, Inc. believes the best growth strategy is to partner with experienced operators in the North American oil marketplace and we feel that Black Star 231 Corporation met our criteria of expertise as well as their commitment to co-invest in projects. We look forward to communicating more news on the Stateline Oilfield as its made available. "
