 -- Creston Resources Ltd. ("Creston" or the "company") (Pink Sheets: CSTJ) today announced that it has successfully completed the acquisition of four additional wells located in the Uintah Basin The Uintah Basin is a geologic structural basin in eastern Utah, east of the Wasatch Mountains and south of the Uinta Mountains.

The Uintas are one of the few major mountain ranges in the United States oriented from east to west, rather than north to south.
 of Utah from a small independent oil company. In addition to the current daily production from these wells, this acquisition adds approximately 2,200 acres of oil and gas leases and the corresponding undeveloped offset locations. In total, Creston now holds interests in 50 wells with total lease holdings of just over 19,500 acres.

The new wells acquired presently average approximately 20-25 gross barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d). The company believes that with recompletion work it can increase the daily production of these four wells to a range of 75-100 BOE/d through operations such as down-hole pump changes and increasing artificial lift system capacity. Daily production will continue while these recompletion plans are finalized See finalization.  and implemented. In addition, the newly acquired acreage offers potential offset drilling locations in the prolific La Point area of the Uintah Basin.

The company's strategy includes increasing production by reworking its lower production wells (which may include, in some cases, perforating new zones) and drilling new wells from among the offset and infield Infield is a widely used term in sports terminology, its meaning depends on in what sport it is used.

About the Uintah Basin

The Uintah Basin is considered one of the most petroliferous Petroliferous is a word used to describe a rock or geologic formation containing or yielding petroleum.

 areas in the country. Oil and gas production in the Uintah Basin began in the late 1940s, with major development in the 1960s, and expanding in the 1970s and 1980s. Since the 1980s there has been a surge of exploration and production activity in the basin, with thousands of wells being drilled and completed. Within the last decade, the use of the latest oilfield technological advances, including 3D seismic methods, has yielded significant discoveries in previously unproductive formations, opening up thousands of acres of the basin for exploration and development. More than 300 million barrels of oil (BO) have been produced from the Bluebell/Altamont field alone, and in 2004 combined total production from Duchesne and Uintah counties (in which over 95% of the company's acreage is located) was 9,615,191 BO (65% of the total oil produced in Utah in 2004) and 146,118,755 MCF MCF
