HUSA

PR Newswire

HOUSTON, Nov. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Houston American Energy Corp. (NYSE American: HUSA) today announced an update on the drilling plans for the San Andres prospect.  As previously reported, the company entered into an agreement to acquire a 12.5% working interest in a prospect covering approximately 650 gross acres (81.25 new mineral acres) in Yoakum County, TX.

The company has been notified by the prospect operator that unanticipated issues that had delayed drilling operations have been resolved and the drilling of the first well is expected to commence by year end 2018.

The initial prospect is located on the Northwest Shelf of the Midland Basin. The prospect is comprised of the "Exploration" component of the San Andres Formation with well operations planned to use horizontal laterals and fracture stimulation. The initial proposed well is a 4,620-foot horizontal exploration well targeting the San Andres Formation. The operator estimates that the prospect could ultimately be developed with six (6) additional horizontal wells as leased.

"If the initial wells perform in line with our expectations, we plan to continue the pursuit of additional opportunities in Yoakum County. Given the experience of existing operators, we believe we can achieve substantial production while bringing down costs as compared to typical Permian Basin wells," stated Jim Schoonover, interim CEO of Houston American Energy.

Forward-Looking Statements
