HOUSTON, Dec. 23, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Energy Corp. (OTCBB:LBYE) "Liberty" or "the Company") is delighted to confirm initial production rates from the two wells located on the Alexander B, Lockhart, Texas.

The Company is extremely pleased to confirm that the two 2 shut-in wells called the #1 & #3 located on the Alexander B lease have recovered a total of 215 bbls of oil during the first 36 hours of production.

The Lockhart Northeast Project in Caldwell County consists of four land tracts containing eight wells (five re-entry wells and three shut-in wells) over two leases. The lease is located over roughly 848 acres and if proven viable holds enough space to house a potential further 282 new wells.

The Company initially announced a multi-phased well re-entry program in September, 2010. Over the past several months the Company has been making consistent progress on its re-entry program on the lease. The first phase of the five-stage work-over has included re-entering 3 wells and the drilling out of 1 well on the lease. The four wells in question are located on 3 tracts of land know as the Alexander A, housing 1 re-entry well called the #2, the Alexander B, housing 2 shut-in wells called the #1 & #3 and the Anton, housing 1 shut in well called the Anton #1.The Company plans to commence phase 2 in January, 2011.

"We are very pleased with the initial production rates of the two wells and are looking forward to continued production success. We have always been optimistic about the production capabilities of all the wells on this lease and are expecting a full initial production report in the coming days. In addition to our current projects we are in advanced negotiations for other Texas based projects, offering similar low cost high yield production opportunities. We feel 2011 will be an instrumental year for our company, the outlook is very positive indeed," commented Ian Spowart, CEO of Liberty Energy Corp.
