| FOCUS: UPDATED AUGUST
2010 Texalta Petroleum Ltd. is
an oil and gas company engaged in the exploration, acquisition
and development of prospective oil & gas properties in Western
Canada and Northern Australia.
The company’s primary focus in Canada is in
southeast Saskatchewan, with working interests ranging from 25%
to 74.6% in several project areas.
In Canada, Texalta is developing producing
properties at Wordsworth, Wildwood and West Queensdale,
Saskatchewan and is exploring in many areas in the greater
Carlyle and Alameda region.
By mid 2010 the Wordsworth project
comprises four producing horizontal wells together with a
battery facility and water disposal well. Texalta is the
Operator of this particular project area and has recently
increased its working interest in the facilities and 3 of the 4
wells to 50%. Current plans call for two more horizontal
development wells before year end.
At West Queensdale, the company has varying
interests in five vertical and seven horizontal producing
wells. One horizontal development well is planned for this area
before year end 2010.
The Wildwood property involves one
producing well with one new horizontal development well planned
for the first quarter of 2011.
The company is actively pursuing other
projects in the southeast corner of Saskatchewan and has
landholdings in more than 8400 acres. Two deep exploration
wells are being planned for the latter part of 2010 that will be
drilled on a farmout basis at no cost to Texalta.
In Alberta, the company is promoting the
drilling of a deep exploratory test well to be drilled before
year end. The well is located on lands that have been in
inventory for some time and only recently have become attractive
due to favourable regulatory changes in Edmonton.
In Australia, Texalta is focusing on its
82% working interest in Exploration Permits EP 103 and
EP 104situated on 5.5 million
(5,500,000) acres of prospective land in the Georgina Basin,
Northern Territory.
A new seismic survey comprising a total of
350 km is currently being undertaken to compliment the initial
survey completed in 2009. This seismic program is expected to
be completed by November 2010 and will set the stage for
exploratory drilling in the first quarter of 2011.
In the year ending June 30, 2010, Texalta
has seen an increase in oil and gas sales grossing over $3MM
from it's Southeast Saskatchewan properties. With the planned
development drilling over the next year it is anticipated that
this number will increase significantly.
