CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – Nov. 20, 2013) – Kallisto Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE:KEC) (“Kallisto” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has filed its Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis. These documents are available for viewing under Kallisto’s profile at www.sedar.com.
At Crossfield, completion and evaluation operations on the 16-26-027-01W5 well commenced on September 12, 2013 and consisted of a series of 15 m3 acid squeeze treatments, swab testing and fluid and natural gas analysis, all undertaken over several weeks. During the completion procedures, the Company recovered 32° API crude oil and liquids-rich natural gas. A pressure test taken in conjunction with completion operations confirmed that the Elkton in the 16-26 well is in pressure communication with the Crossfield Gas Storage facility. Kallisto is continuing to evaluate the well and is examining further completion methods to improve oil productivity as the recoveries achieved to date are inconsistent with log and drill cuttings interpretation. Management will continue its efforts to recover the Elkton oil from this reservoir.
Kallisto has a diversified asset base with abundant near term drilling opportunities, including:
- Elkton light oil and Basal Quartz liquids-rich gas at Crossfield;
- Cardium light oil at Minnehik – Buck Lake;
- Shaunavon crude oil in southwest Saskatchewan; and
- Doe Creek light oil at Valhalla.
Kallisto is targeting to spend $6,000,000 – $8,000,000 on these drilling opportunities in 2014. To complete the drilling program, Kallisto will use internally generated cash flow but will also require additional sources of capital. Such additional capital may come through farm-out agreements, disposition of non-core infrastructure assets, additional equity financing or through corporate transactions. Management is in discussions with various parties on all these options and will finalize its 2014 drilling program and capital budget and report back to shareholders when additional capital sources have been secured.
Kallisto is a Calgary-based junior resource company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas, primarily in Alberta.
