Norstra Receives Status Report From Summit West
SOUTHLAKE, Texas, July 22, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NORSTRA ENERGY INC. WWW.NORSTRAENERGY.COM (OTCQB:NORX) ("Norstra" or the "Company") received a status report from Summit West, the operator for the 13-11 Milford Colony. The cash drilling bond has been secured from Yellowstone Bank of Billings, Montana and approved by the Montana State Board of Oil and Gas. Summit should have the permit to drill today, provided a survey of the horizontal well terminus point is provided by the surveyor. The survey portion of the permit remains incomplete without this information. The survey, bond, and permit will be posted on the Norstra website upon completion. The Company's Quarterly Report 10-Q has also been finalized and should be filed this week. All dirt work has been completed for the drillsite. The drilling company, Gasco Drilling, has one more well to drill ahead of the proposed well by Norstra Energy. The best estimate for rig mobilization is around July 29. Care will be taken to try to drill with air to get some evaluation of possible shallow gas deposits. A number of parties have restarted discussions regarding an investment into Norstra through shares or convertible debentures to finance operations moving forward. The Company is encouraged by this and is looking forward to updated termsheets. In addition to being open to financing its operations through stock subscription and convertible debentures, Norstra has signed a Letter of Intent with Directional Drilling, LLC, for the purpose of joint venturing the drilling of the first horizontal Bakken well. The main incentive for our proposed Joint Venture partner to drill is based upon direct equity earned in the initial well and the acreage offsetting the first well. The detailed terms of the deal will be filed on an 8-K once a definitive agreement is finalized and signed. There is a review period until August 30, 2013 for both parties to come to an agreement over the detailed terms and conditions regarding the interests in the first and subsequent wells and also on the amount of acreage earned through drilling. Glen Landry, Norstra's CEO, said, "This joint venture approach is the way I got most of my projects drilled over the last 35 years. We are very encouraged and hopeful that this Joint Venture will come to fruition as we came to a quick agreement and understanding as to Norstra's exploration and drilling strategy during our meetings at the first drill location". Landry went on to say, "We have also reserved the right, during the next thirty days, to accept any subscription agreement we want to the further secure funds for drilling and operations." Norstra and its management are also currently complying with information requests by the SEC and are addressing their questions while continuing with their efforts to get the drilling started.
