New oil and gas finds in West Virginia

HUNTINGTON, W.Va., Jan. 10 Epsilon Energy Ltd. announced two new West Virginia oil and gas finds.

The company issued an update on its drilling project in Cabell County, W.Va., the Blue Jacket Project.

Epsilon has 63 percent working interest in the Blue Jacket project, which is operated by Hard Rock Exploration.

At well HR No. 216, testing produced more than 1,400 barrels of oil and is being flowed daily on an intermittent basis at rates of up to 40 barrels per hour. Limited on-site oil storage capacity has restricted the production test.

According to Canadian Epsilon, the HR No. 219 well tested 2 million cubic feet per day of natural gas while drilling. The well is expected to be completed and tested within the next several weeks.

Epsilon has several other projects in the West Virginia area and others in the Middle East and North America.
