VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 29, 2011) - Hemisphere Energy Corporation (News - Market indicators) is pleased to announce it has closed the acquisition of the oil producing Jenner property in southeastern Alberta for $1.1 Million, as originally announced on March 16, 2011.
Through the Jenner acquisition Hemisphere acquires production of approximately 25 barrels of oil per day, associated facilities and infrastructure and 100% working interest in 2,600 acres of land. A 3D seismic survey that covers a portion of the acquired lands was included in the acquisition.
The Jenner property provides Hemisphere with an opportunity to increase oil production through the drilling of development wells and the optimization of existing wellbores. Hemisphere has already identified and licenced one drilling location on the new lands and plans to select and licence several more drilling locations targeting previously identified oil prospects.
The Jenner acquisition increases Hemisphere's land position in the Jenner area and enables the Company to control the drilling, development and exploration of its land base in the region. This acquisition is strategically aligned with Hemisphere's focus of establishing core areas to grow oil production in southeast Alberta. These core areas have multiple zones of potential that provide low to medium risk drilling opportunities that will increase Hemisphere's production, reserves and cash flow.
