Strata-X Releases Rig After Successfully Finishing First Horizontal Well in Vail Oil Project and Announces Additional Wells

--  Liner and 7-stage sliding sleeve completion system successfully
    installed at the Burkett 5-34H well in preparation for stimulation and
    production testing 
--  Rig released on September 1 
--  Permitting process underway for two new horizontal well locations in
    Strata-X's 100% owned Vail Oil Project. 



The directors and management of Strata-X Energy Ltd. ("Strata-X" or the
"Company") (TSX VENTURE:SXE)(ASX:SXA) are pleased to announce that upon reaching
a total depth of 6,762 feet in the Burkett 5-34HOR well, the Company
successfully set a liner through the 1,824 foot laterally drilled oil zone using
a 7-stage sliding sleeve completion system. On September 1, 2013 Strata-X
released Les Wilson, Inc's drilling rig #25 that was used to drill the Burkett
5-34HOR well. 


The next stage is to conduct a breakdown and pressure test to obtain definitive
reservoir pressure data. This pressure data, together with rock mechanics data
derived from the core taken in the vertical stage, will be used to finalize the
design of the stimulation stage for the well planned for late October. Please
refer to Slide 16 of the Vail Project Primer found on the Company's website
(www.strata-x.com) which illustrates the current stage of the well and the
Company's plans for its stimulation and testing. The Company owns a 100% working
interest in the well and 48,000 net acres in the Vail Oil Project overall.


The Company is also pleased to announce that it has begun the permitting process
for two new horizontal well locations on its Vail Oil Project.
