Strata-X Updates Burkett 5-34HOR Well, Reports Oil Shows, 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 the Company
has reached total depth (4,730 ft) on the vertical drilling of the Burkett
5-34HOR well for the Vail Oil Project. In drilling the vertical portion of the
well, oil and gas shows were encountered in the targeted Devonian Lingle
formation and a drill stem test of the target recovered gas and oil cut mud.
Coring of the target zone was completed with the Company recovering 59 feet of
core. The core is presently being processed at the Weatherford core facilities
in Colorado for analysis. Preliminary results indicate approximately 10 feet of
oil saturation in the Lingle Formation which is in line with Company
expectations. Well logs have been successfully run and operations to set the
kick off plug are underway before proceeding to the horizontal portion of the
well. The Company owns a 100% working interest in the well and in 48,000 net
acres in the project overall. 


The Burkett 5-34HOR well is being drilled in Clay County, Illinois, west of the
town of Xenia, Illinois. As previously announced (Press Release dated April 7,
2013), the Company executed a Drilling Contract with Les Wilson Inc. for the
Burkett 5-34HOR well which is expected to test the Devonian Lingle formation, a
dolomitic reservoir which lies directly below the hydrocarbon rich New Albany
Shale. 


As previously announced (Press Release dated July 17, 2013) the Company has
released an Investor Presentation on the Vail Oil Project which can be found
