Press Releases

CALGARY, Feb. 22 /CNW/ - Base Oil & Gas Ltd. ("Base" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: BOG) is pleased to provide an update on its production and drilling program. 

The Company's share of production averaged 170 BOE's per day throughout the month of January 2011.

Base Oil & Gas Ltd. has elected not to participate in the previously announced Fourth Earning Well under the South Pembina Joint Venture Drilling Program.  The decision was based on a change in scope in the operator's drilling and completion program.  The Third Earning well under this Program was placed on production on December 1, 2010 and continues to flow without artificial lift.  The final two Earning Wells under this Program are expected to be drilled in the second half of 2011.

Base Oil and Gas Ltd. is a Calgary based emerging oil and gas company, focused on the development of Cardium oil & gas reserves in the Western Canadian Sedimentary basin.

References herein to "BOE" mean barrels of oil equivalent derived by converting gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of gas to one barrel (bbl) of oil.  BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.  A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
