VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 25, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Emerson Oil and Gas, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EOGI), a Nevada Corporation, is pleased to announce that AOF testing at its Empress 11-16-24-2w4m gas well in eastern Alberta has been completed. The well flowed at over 500 MCFPD (thousand cubic feet per day) during the 24-hour flow period. The pressure data and flow characteristics of the well are now being analyzed by an engineering company and the final results are expected shortly. Design and costing of the pipeline to place this well on stream is under way.
The Empress well produced gas during completion from three zones. Two other zones that indicate gas potential on logs remain untested in the well because the current reservoir, the Detrital zone, indicated sufficient gas to warrant AOF testing to determine its capability. The Company is now evaluating the possibility of further drilling and/or testing to fully develop the land earned by this discovery well.
The Company has a 49% 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.
The company would also like to invite shareholders to view recent pictures of the work program that have been posted on our website.
