SAN DIEGO, Nov. 2, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Royale Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq:ROYL) has received regulatory approval for a new proprietary 3D seismic survey to extend the area of its recent discoveries. This 25 mile acquisition adds to the North Arbuckle data that resulted in the Goddard wells that have produced over 1.8BCF to date, and the deeper Magnum well. These wells have contributed to the recent surge in Royale's natural gas production and cash-flow.
This success and the information it has provided will enable the exploration team to use the new data to generate future drilling prospects. Royale plans to continue drilling in this expanded area for the next several years.
"This data will provide at least 3 years of new drilling," said Stephen Hosmer, "and lead to additional discoveries of this valued commodity."
Operations will begin February 2012.
