Edge Resources Inc. Drills and Cases Four Successful Wells in Eye Hill, Saskatchewan
  
 

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Dec 18, 2013) - Edge Resources Inc. (TSX-VENTURE:EDE)(AIM:EDG) ("Edge" or the "Company") is very pleased to announce that it has successfully drilled and cased four additional wells in Eye Hill, Saskatchewan, with all four wells expected to produce commercial levels of oil. Completion activities have already commenced and the wells are expected to be put on production test before Christmas.

After previously announcing the Company's intent to drill a minimum of three wells (see December 4, 2013 announcement), the Company was pleased to have moved very quickly to have constructed the necessary roads and locations, achieved the necessary regulatory approvals and secured the rig for all four wells in a very short period of time.

Increasing production and associated cash flow was the primary objective of the drilling program, with three of the four wells being drilled, at most, 760 meters away from Eye Hill East's producing well (was last reported on October 29, 2013 to be producing up to 151 bopd). One of those wells was not previously assigned any reserves on the Company's March, 2013 Reserve Report and two of those three wells were only assigned probable reserves.

The fourth location was drilled 2,900 meters from the producing well and was not previously assigned any reserves on the Company's March, 2013 Reserve Report.

The Company is very pleased with the logs from these four wells, two of which have demonstrated clear superiority to even the existing producer. Edge expects to see reserve additions and production contribution from all locations, which should lead to significant cash flow and asset value improvements.

All wells were drilled on or under budget, despite the drop in temperatures to more than -30 degrees C for most of the duration of the program.

Brad Nichol, President & CEO of Edge, commented, "I could not be more pleased with the log results from these wells. The complete re-evaluation of our field data carried out this summer appears to have paid off and Mother Nature even rewarded us with a couple of nice surprises. Equally impressive was the operational team's ability to move quickly and execute the program flawlessly. I am excited about the prospect of getting these wells on line to increase our production as well as updating our reserve report in the spring. It is nice to have finally accomplished what we have been talking about doing for such a long time." Nichol added, "We have already commenced the completion and equipping operations and we expect to get at least three of the wells producing before the end of the year. The fourth may have to wait until the New Year to start producing oil, as the rig is now racked on our location and probably won't be moved off until after the Christmas break."
