CALGARY, July 4, 2011 /CNW/ - Base Oil & Gas Ltd. ("Base" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: BOG) is pleased to announce a property acquisition from a Private Company for cash consideration of $300,000. The property provides Base with 6,720 gross acres (10.5 sections) of land in the Ante Creek area of Alberta. It is located in the Montney oil and liquids rich gas fairway and the emerging Nordegg oil resource play.

The property acquisition has the following key attributes:

  • 7 net potential Montney horizontal drilling locations have been identified;
  • Two suspended Montney vertical wellbores that will be reactivated this summer;
  • Recent landsale activity in the area has seen prices as high as $2,500/ha;
