TYLER, Texas, July 6, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pegasi Energy Resources Corp. (OTCBB:PGSI), an East Texas based oil and gas exploration and production company headquartered in Tyler, Texas today announced the sale of its 59 Disposal Plant in Marion, County Texas for $1.3MM to Frontier Income and Growth LLC, located in Dallas Texas. The sale is effective as of July 1, 2011.
The 59 Disposal Plant is a fully owned subsidiary of Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation in which the company owns an 80% interest. The plant was built by the company to accommodate waste water and flow back from its own drilling operations which was mainly drilling for gas with a large amount of associated water. With the company's present emphasis on drilling for oil, the plant is not as essential to the companies present drilling plans. The sale to Frontier Income and Growth LLC includes in the contract a favorable pricing per barrel for continuing to dispose the company waste water from all of their operations in the area. The proceeds from the sale will be used for general operating costs and drilling operations in the Cornerstone Project.
The area of the Cornerstone Project has produced over 400 million barrels of oil and more than 2.3 trillion cubic feet of gas. Pegasi is focused on applying new horizontal drilling and multistage frac technology to recover substantial additional oil and gas reserves which remain in place.
Management Comments
Mr. Michael Neufeld, President and CEO of Pegasi said; "We are pleased with the sale of the plant which fits in with our plan of placing all emphasis on developing our oil potential with horizontal drilling on our vast acreage position. We feel that our plan of action will enable the Company to develop our existing reserve base, continue to adding to that base resulting in enhanced stock value."
