Petrostar Tests Booster Technology

(via Thenewswire.ca)

Petrostar Petroleum Corporation ("Petrostar" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has started - and completed - testing of its semi-exclusive Booster technology.

Elmdale Resources granted Petrostar permission to use well 06-32-018-25W4M for two weeks to place the well bore on an in-line production test using the Company's Booster technology.

During the testing process, an internal electronic gas flow measurement device is utilized to monitor production volumes. The production stream is then split and used as field gas to run the test Booster Unit throughout the testing period. Excess natural gas production is discharged into the existing sales line.

Increase in production: 143 Mcf/D or 458%

Petrostar is now in the process of testing Elmdale's second well (see news release dated August 16, 2012). Pending the production capabilities proven through the Booster technology, management feels the Herronton Property will be an excellent candidate for a future micro power generation facility.
