Creston Resources Announces Initial Production of First Joint Venture Well.


ROOSEVELT, Utah Roosevelt is a city in Duchesne County, Utah, United States. The population was 4,299 at the 2000 census. Geography
Roosevelt is located at  (40.298721, -109.994035)GR1.
 -- Creston Resources, Ltd. ("Creston" or the "Company") (Pink Sheets:CSTJ) announced today that it has commenced daily production from the four pay horizons in the first well in the joint project with Fellows Energy. Oil and gas production is derived from the Wasatch, Wasatch/Green River Transition, and Lower and Upper Green River formations The Green River Formation is an Eocene geologic formation that records the sedimentation in a series of intermontane lakes. The sedimentary layers were formed in a large area of interconnecting lakes, named for the present-day Green River, a tributary of the Colorado River. . The well, which is now in continuous production, has yet to fully stabilize. Initial production has yielded a daily rate of approximately 100 BOE BOE Based on Experience

. A variable speed drive is scheduled to be installed this week to increase the artificial lift system capacity which is expected to lower the fluid level which may increase oil and gas production further. This will be followed, if necessary, by a change to a submersible pump A submersible pump is a pump which has a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. The whole assembly is submerged in the fluid to be pumped. The advantage of this type of pump is that it can provide a significant lifting force as it does not rely on external air  to unlock the full potential of the well.

The recompletion consisted of both downhole and surface and tank battery work. Downhole work included removing bridge plugs to reestablish bypassed reserves, new perforations, and stimulation of untapped zones. Surface work included a complete renovation of the tank battery to handle increased production, including a state-of-the-art lift system which increases the fluid pumping capability while reducing electric and maintenance costs.

Gas sales have commenced as the facilities and contracts were already in place. Oil is sold at the wellhead well·head

 as possible and put them back online at higher levels, as well as drill new wells on the many offset and infield locations available on its acreage. Most locations offer multiple prospective pay zones, from moderately shallow to moderately deep. Financing will be provided primarily by internal cash flow and joint ventures, although as production revenue increases, the company may qualify for debt financing Debt Financing

When a firm raises money for working capital or capital expenditures by selling bonds, bills, or notes to individual and/or institutional investors. In return for lending the money, the individuals or institutions become creditors and receive a promise to repay
 for its very low risk development wells. Creston will also seek acquisition of projects with production and acreage with proven reserves.

Creston, headquartered in the Uintah Basin city of Roosevelt, Utah, intends to maximize shareholder value and minimize dilution by the use of non-equity financing whenever possible, as noted above.

About the Uintah Basin

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

See Bituminous rocks
 areas in the country. Oil and gas production in the Uintah Basin began in the late 1940's with major development in the 1960's and expansion in the 1970's and 1980's. Since the 1980's there has been a tremendous surge of exploration and production activity in the basin with literally thousands of wells being drilled and completed. Within the last decade discoveries using the latest oilfield technological advances, including 3D seismic methods, have yielded significant discoveries in previously unproductive formations, opening up thousands of acres of the basin for exploration and development. Over 300,000,000 BO have been produced from the Bluebell/Altamont field alone, and combined total production from Duchesne and Uintah Counties in 2004 was 9,615,191 BO (65% of the total oil produced in Utah in 2004) and 146,118,755 MCF/G (49% of the total gas produced in Utah in 2004).
