Victory Energy Announces Start Of Permitting of Second Lodgepole Well

LOS ANGELES, CA -- Victory Energy Corporation (OTCBB: VYEY) announced today that it is working with Coastal Petroleum to start the permitting process for the second Lodgepole well.

The second Lodgepole well has been identified in Section 7, T36N-R37E, Federal Lands in Valley County, Montana. Victory will also apply for an exception as this well is just north of the southern boundary of Section 7 so that part of Section 18 will also be included. This well would proceed with a notice of staking with the US Bureau of Land Management, a site inspection, a archeological survey and application for permit to drill.

Potential indications are that estimated recoverable hydrocarbons from a good Lodgepole well can be approximately 4,000,000 barrels of oil and 2 billion cubic feet of gas. The 138,000 acres in Valley County, Montana could have over 500 Lodgepole Prospects, with approximately 100 Prospects currently high-graded through Geochemical evaluation. The main target for drilling is the Lodgepole Reef zone, with additional testing of the Bakken zone as well as the Nisku and Red River zones. Total depth anticipated to be drilled in this Lodgepole test is 5,600 feet.

“By moving forward and having an archeological surveyor conduct the required preparation for the permitting process, we should have this second well permitted by the end of summer,” stated Jon Fullenkamp, President of Victory Energy Corporation.
