LOS ANGELES, Oct. 07, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Black Stallion Oil & Gas, Inc. (OTCQB:BLKG) (herein after "Black Stallion", "we", "our" and/or "the Company") has acquired the remaining 50% Working Interest (WI) in the 12,233-acre Woodrow Prospect in Teton county, northwest Montana, within the Alberta Basin Bakken fairway. The Company is pleased to confirm it now holds a 100% WI in the prospect.
In June 2014, Black Stallion received a NI 51-101 report from B.L. Whelan, P. Geo. ("the Whelan report") on the Woodrow Prospect. The author reviewed the available technical data, reports derived from the public domain and information from wells within the leases and currently producing wells in adjacent fields. The report concluded the Woodrow Prospect offers multiple opportunities for possible success in oil and gas production across multiple potential targets at shallow depths, and recommended an exploration program be carried out on the leases to determine the potential hydrocarbon content of the various formations.
On September 21, 2015, Black Stallion announced it had entered a Master Services Consulting Agreement ("the agreement") with Calgary-based Sproule Associates Limited ("Sproule") in connection with the Company commencing a four-phase work program on the prospect. The agreement includes estimation of prospective resources within the Woodrow Prospect, and technical advisory services relating to the Company's work program. The Company expects Phase I of the four-phase work program to be completed by late October 2015.
Black Stallion's CEO, George Drazenovic, commented: "We're fortunate to have acquired the remaining 50% Working Interest in such a large prospect in a region with this level of potential for domestic energy development and production. We're also fortunate to have Sproule's team of experienced geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists and engineers actively engaged on our work program so we can better determine the Woodrow Prospect's production potential."
Over 80% of the Alberta Basin Bakken's production has come from 3 large fields that are within ~12 to 40 miles of the Woodrow Prospect. As interest has grown in the Alberta Basin Bakken over the past few years, major industry players have invested heavily in acquiring land in the fairway's southern region, close to the Woodrow Prospect. Among the major players in the Alberta Basin Bakken are ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell and Occidental Petroleum, among others.
