Edge Resources Inc. Increases Production and Licenses Wells for New Drilling Program

Edge has brought additional wells into production and a 3rd party well into its shallow-gas infrastructure, bringing the total number of its own producing Edmonton Sands wells to 8. It is expected that additional wells will be brought on-line in another phase, after frac crews become available and are able to frac these additional wells.
The Company has also licensed the first 7 wells of another phase of drilling, which is expected to be initiated within the next 3 weeks, depending on weather and rig availability. In the Edmonton Sands area, the Company has drilled and/or produced from only one well per section and has, in most cases, the ability to drill up to a total of four wells per section on each of the 20 Edmonton Sands sections it currently owns.
Brad Nichol, President and CEO of Edge commented, "We hoped to tie-in additional wells sooner, but we are currently waiting on services to frac the wells first. However, once frac'd the additional wells can be brought on production almost immediately, as the pipelines have already been constructed. We are also excited about our next phase of drilling, which will commence as soon as drilling rigs are available. We expect to see available rigs and frac crews moving into our area before the end of March, subject to spring breakup conditions."
The 3rd party Edmonton Sands production that is being produced into the Company's 100% owned and operated shallow-gas infrastructure is expected to generate additional cash-flow for the Company on an on-going basis. Additionally, the recently acquired oil production is generating more cash than originally expected, as the oil production is not hedged and is benefiting significantly from the recent increases in spot-market oil prices.
