Primera Energy Resources Ltd. ("Primera" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PTT) is pleased to announce a 21% increase in oil production in the first quarter of 2011 compared to Q1 last year. Also revenue was 44% higher in the first quarter increasing to $2,023,293 as oil prices also saw an increase of 19% to $85.78 per barrel in the period. Operating costs per barrel stayed relatively steady at $6.32 per barrel compared to $6.20 in the comparable period last year. General and administrative (G&A) costs per barrel decreased to $8.87 per barrel from $9.59 for the first quarter last year as the Company continues to focus its efforts largely in Trinidad with attendant savings in G&A. The provision for Depletion, depreciation and amortization (DD&A) decreased substantially to $151,072 or $6.37 per barrel compared to $171,129 or $11.54 per barrel in the first quarter last year. As the Company has now converted to the International Financial Reporting Standard this quarter the DD&A provision will now be calculated using prove and probable reserve s versus just the proved reserves in the past as the depleteable base the DD&A provision should continue to be lower than in the past under Canadian Generally Accounting Principles (Canadian GAAP). The Company had a working capital surplus at the end of the quarter of $2,303,909 which included cash of $3,725,805 compared to working capital and cash of $2,999,876 and $4,355,577 respectively for the first quarter end last year. The Company spent $641,242 on capital during the three month period ended March 31, 2011. Cost for Cory Moruga drilling and completions were $521,693 and drilling costs for the WD4 development property was $119,549 as the two well initial drilling program was just getting underway. The drilling of the two wells in WD4 was finished in the second quarter and completed and these wells were placed on production and producing approximately 450 barrels of oil per day. At Cory Moruga the Firecrown -1 well was deepened to approximately 10,300 feet and with this operation the Ministry deemed that the earning requirements had been met under the license. At Block WD-4 the company has commenced Phase 2 of its current drilling program which involves the drilling of 4 additional wells in the last quarter of this year. The Company anticipates that Phase 2 of this program shall substantially increase the oil production on this block.
