BNK Announces Operations Update

Calif. (ots/PRNewswire)

BNK Petroleum Inc. (the "Company" or "BNK") is providing an update on its Tishomingo Field, Caney shale oil operations in Oklahoma as well as its Polish shale gas project.

Tishomingo Field, Oklahoma

The Company's latest Caney shale oil well, the Hartgraves 1-5H well (100% interest) is flowing back after being completed with the Company's largest hydraulic stimulation to date. Over the last 5 days the well has been flowing at an average restricted production rate of 620 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD) of which 424 barrels are oil. The well began making oil about 10 days ago and averaged over 520 BOEPD during the last 10 days while cleaning up and improving to the current 620 BOEPD rate. The initial rates and flowing pressures indicate the Hartgraves 1-5H should be one of BNK's best Caney wells to date.

Even with the very large enhanced completion utilized in this well and having encountered some drilling issues, the drilling and completion cost of this well still came in under $8 million dollars. The Company continues to optimize its geologic interpretations, drilling practices and completion designs to improve future well performance and costs.

The previously drilled and completed Wiggins 11-2H well (93.4% interest), had an initial 30 day production rate of 323 BOEPD, of which 202 barrels were oil. The well had a steeper than average decline in the first few weeks following which the rate of decline slowed significantly. The Company attributes this steeper decline to a number of items that were modified in the Hartgraves 1-5H well, including refinement in lateral placement, completion design as well as flowback procedures.

The drilling rig is currently drilling the lateral in the Emery 17-1H well which should be completed and flowing back in November.

The Company's production in the third quarter, which only included about 30 days of Wiggins 11-2H production and no Hartgraves 1-5H production, averaged 971 BOEPD. The Company's September production averaged 1,087 BOEPD.

Gapowo B-1H well, Poland

The operations to retrieve downhole pressure gauges in the Gapowo B-1 were completed last week and a reservoir model analysis is underway. Scale in the tubing delayed operations pushing the expected completion of the reservoir analysis to late November.

BOEs/boes (barrels of oil equivalent) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

This news release contains peak and initial production rates and other short-term production rates. Readers are cautioned that initial production rates are preliminary in nature and are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.
