The directors and management of Strata-X Energy Ltd. has contracted with Halliburton to conduct the completion stimulation of the Burkett 5-34HOR well for the Vail Oil Project, which work the Company anticipates will begin the week of November 18, 2013.

Strata-X engaged Halliburton for the completion stimulation after conducting a detailed examination of the data gathered from the core of the targeted Devonian Lingle formation along with data collected during the drilling of the well and from the breakdown and pressure test conducted after the lateral liner was set.

The Burkett 5-34HOR was drilled as a test of the Devonian Lingle formation and reached a total depth of 6,762 feet including a 1,824 foot lateral. During the drilling of the well in the targeted Devonian Lingle formation, oil and gas shows were encountered and oil was visible in the drilling mud.
