Permian Basin Twin Well - Drilling Location

Nostra Terra (AIM:NTOG), the oil and gas exploration and production company with a portfolio of assets in the USA and Egypt, is pleased to confirm that preparation for the drilling location for the new Twin Well in the Permian Basin has commenced.

As announced on 31 October 2017, Nostra Terra acquired a 53.25% Working Interest over a 120 acre lease in the Permian Basin (the "Lease"), the Company's third acquisition in the area. The Lease contains multiple drill ready locations, including a target which was previously drilled and produced oil.

The targeted drill location for the Twin Well is now being prepared with drilling anticipated to commence later this month when the location is ready.  Total depth is expected to be reached before the end of November 2017 and completion of the well anticipated to follow shortly thereafter.

The Company looks forward to updating shareholders on the anticipated achievement of reaching total depth, completion and production rates in due course.

Notes to Editor:

On 31 October 2017, Nostra Terra announced its third acquisition in the Permian Basin, being the acquisition of a 53.25% Working Interest over a 120 acre lease (the "Lease").

An operator previously drilled a field development well on the neighbouring lease, which produced oil. However, once the operator completed a directional survey of the bottom-hole location it discovered that the well had crossed the boundary of the Lease. The operator of the neighbouring well set a plug back to a shallower depth and completed the well as a saltwater disposal well and has provided all of its data to assist with planning and drilling of the Twin Well.

The planned drilling operation of the Twin Well at the Lease will target the same bottom-hole location as the discovery well drilled by the neighouring operator.
