Development Begins at Hillcrest’s Donner #4 Well Site

Hillcrest Resources Ltd. (TSXV:HRH) announced that it has started developing the Donner #4 well site, which is located about 500 feet southwest of the Donner #1 well. The company plans to provide an update when a drill rig comes on site.

Don Currie, chairman and CEO of Hillcrest, commented:

We are excited to have the exploration and development plan underway. After careful review of all available data including seismic, the company chose the Donner #4 location with the belief that once drilled and potentially completed, the well could be a more significant producer than our current Donner 1 well. Drilling and completion costs in the area have come down by over 20% in the past 6 months making it more attractive to begin and continue a drilling program. In addition to the reduced drilling costs, we sell our oil at Louisiana Light pricing, which has averaged over $107 a barrel, a significant increase over WTI.

We are excited about what the potential production would mean to our overall revenue upon potential completion and production of the new wells.
