HOUSTON, Sept. 21, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Energy Corp. (OTCBB:LBYE) ("Liberty" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the draw-down of $75,000 from the recently executed equity financing agreement.
The Company has received the draw-down under the terms of the equity investment agreement that does not include any debt financing and facilitates funding of up to $8,000,000.
The funds have been drawn to support the implementation of the first stage of a multi-phase work program on the Lockhart Lease and will bring the total of external investment this year to $575,000.
The Lockhart Northeast Project in Caldwell County houses two leases. These leases consist of four land tracts containing eight wells (five re-entry wells and three shut-in wells). The site is spread over roughly 848 acres and holds enough space to house a potential further 282 new wells.
There are four main pay zones in this area that the wells could produce from; these are the Serpentine, Dale Lime, Austin Chalk & Buda. That being said, it is believed that new field discoveries are possible in the Buda, Serpentine and Dale Lime on these leases based on logged but undeveloped shows.
"We are pleased with the way things are progressing on our work program. These additional funds will allow us to continue implementing stage one of our aggressive multi-phase work program on our Lockhart Lease. We are very excited by the initial results of the work and believe these wells will provide us with instant, sustained production that will cover overheads and operating expenditures. With the continued support of the financing agreement we hope to proceed with developing the rest of filed whilst maintaining zero debt on our balance sheet," commented Daniel Martinez-Atkinson, CFO of Liberty Energy Corp.
