Raise Production Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results and Operations Update


CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 31, 2015) - Raise Production Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RPC) ("Raise" or the "Company") has released its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

PRESIDENT'S UPDATE

The Company is pleased to update its shareholders on its financial results and activities during the second quarter of the year.

As stated in our press release dated August 26, 2015, the Company will continue to test its Horizontal Wellbore Production System (the "System") with the assistance of its test partner once the activation system has been addressed and improved. The last ninety day test has been the first opportunity the Company has had to run the System for extended periods and through this test, has gained the assurance that the System is mechanically sound.

In parallel to the test of the System, the Company was in discussions with a major heavy oil producer regarding a technology development for its rod pumping solution that was developed for use with the System. We are pleased to announce that Raise has been awarded an engineering contract to develop a large bore rod pump for use in heavy oil applications. The contract is based on certain go/no-go decision points. The Company has completed the feasibility study and is now embarking on the conceptual design phase. This contract has allowed us to expand our design team to work exclusively on this project and in no way impacts our resources dedicated to the System.

Raise is also pleased and very proud to announce that the Company has been granted and received the Canadian patent for its horizontal pumping System. The patent grant now legally protects the intellectual property for a number of method claims for the System. It also validated the uniqueness of the System and the process of producing horizontal wellbores with multiple pumps. The patent also brings credible value to shareholders as an asset once the System has proven the theory.

Raise would like to thank our staff for their efforts and desire to succeed, our shareholders for their support and patience and our industry partners for their continued interest and participation in our initiatives to develop a unique and needed technology.
