NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Feb 2, 2017) - Viking Investments Group, Inc. (" Viking ") (
With assistance from its operator, S & B Operating, LLC (" S&B "), a subsidiary of Kansas Resource Development Company (" KRDC "), Mid-Con has completed a performance review of all of its existing producing leases in Kansas and identified relatively low-cost methods to improve production, including stimulating inactive or inefficient water injectors. Phase one of such enhancement initiative contemplates Mid-Con stimulating water injectors on three of Mid-Con's leases: L. Wilson (7 injectors); Wilson A. (3 injectors); and Terbrock (1 injector). It is estimated the stimulation program will improve production from these particular leases by 20 to 25%. KRDC's management team specializes in formulating and operating water-flood enhanced oil recovery programs.
Mid-Con anticipates commencing phase one of the enhancement initiative on or about February 20th, 2017, weather permitting.
