Blackpool Developing Progress Halfway Oilpool

CALGARY, Oct. 25 /CNW/ - Three wells have now been drilled on Blackpool's
Progress oil property. The discovery well drilled in July - August 2004 is now
on production, yielding gross production of 68 barrels of oil equivalent per
day during the month of July 2005 (6 mcf gas:1 barrel oil). Two additional
wells have subsequently been drilled, penetrating the oil bearing Halfway
sandstone reservoir. These wells have been completed and are currently in the
process of tie-in to a gas gathering and processing system. Other development
locations may be drilled to fully develop this oilpool. The Halfway zone is
compatible with secondary recovery through water flooding. Blackpool retains a
working interest of 12.5% in this property.
