ARLINGTON, Texas, Sept. 7, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Quest Oil Corporation (OTCBB:QOIL), is pleased to announce the Company's Empress 12-15-24-2w4m gas well was drilled to depth of 3231 feet to bottom the Bakken Formation. Quest has logged and performed extensive drill stem testing (DST) which have resulted in multiple indications of natural gas in the well bore.
The Company has authorized the operator, Transaction Oil and Gas Services, to set production casing and cement into the bore hole. The Company has requested Operator to schedule a service rig to perforate and flow test the well at the three strongest gas anomalies in the Viking, Ditrital and Bakken gas pools.
Empress Prospect: Eastern Alberta
Quest Oil owns a 100% working interest in the Empress gas prospect, the well at 12-15-24-2w4m, is a stepout from a well 1/2 mile away that discovered commercial gas capable of producing 1.5 MMCPD in the Detrital sand and tested natural gas from two deeper zones. Pressure analysis indicates that large reserves remain in the Viking zone which produces from lands immediately north of the Empress Prospect.
Geological mapping indicates that the reservoir extends under the Prospect lands. DST shows, mapping and seismic indicate oil and gas potential in the Bakken, Banff and Detrital formations and gas potential in the Colony, Viking and Second White Specks zones.
By completing the drilling on the first well on the Empress concession, the Company has earned the right to the original four sections in the Empress concession. By completing the first well, "12-15", the Company earned the option to drill on three additional sections. Each of these three sections needs to be drilled within consecutive, subsequent 60 day periods in order to earn the rights to produce from those individual sections. At this point management intends to drill each of these three sections.
