STANDARD EXPLORATION LTD.- ANNOUNCES OPERATIONS UPDATE
Standard Exploration Ltd., on Nov. 15, 2012, committed to drilling two wells prior to year-end. The first well, an exploration well, was drilled, abandoned and rig released on Nov. 20, 2012. The well targeting the Mannville zone encountered the reservoir but was tight and not viable for commercial production. Total cost for the operation was approximately $350,000 of qualified Canadian exploration expenditures (CEE), which will be applied to the flow-through commitment inherited with the Canadian Energy Exploration Inc. transaction.
