VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 24, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Emerson Oil and Gas, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EOGI), a Nevada Corporation, announces that the operator has informed the Company that the surface hole has been drilled to a depth of 200 meters and casing has been run in preparation for drilling the main hole on the Acadia project in Alberta.
Emerson President David Harker, states, "I am excited with the recent updates from the Acadia project and we firmly believe that it is going to help drive our company in to a cash positive revenue position and give us a foothold in this strong energy market."
The company would also like to invite shareholders to view recent pictures of the work program that will be posted on our website later this afternoon.
Pressure analysis of producing gas wells shows that 16 BCF (billion cubic feet) of natural gas were originally in place in the Viking reservoir contiguous to the Project on the north side. Over 2 BCF of that gas has been produced from 6 gas wells leaving over 13 BCF in the reservoir. Gas is present in two wells immediately south of the leases.
The Company has a 51% working interest in the Acadia Project located in South-Eastern Alberta and also maintains a carried working interest of 12.5% before payout and an 18.75% working interest after payout in both the W.T. Davis and the Rinsland Estate No. 1 well in Bossier Parish, Louisiana.
Emerson Oil and Gas is in position to take advantage of the current demand and booming world market price of oil and gas. Emerson's primary operating philosophy is to utilize the most current technology available to develop low risk, high yield, underdeveloped oil and gas reserves. This approach will enable Emerson to capitalize upon previously discovered and producing properties with known reserves that had not been completely exploited due to market conditions.
