Delta Oil and Gas, Inc. Nears Production at Its Todd Creek Well

Posted on: Wednesday, 7 June 2006, 09:00 CDT

Delta Oil and Gas, Inc. (OTCBB: DOIG) is pleased to announce that construction of the gas processing plant just south of its Todd Creek Well located in 13-28-9-2W5 in Alberta, Canada, has been substantially completed and all permits and government approvals have been obtained. Delta's Todd Creek Well is expected to be tied into the gas plant on or before August 1, 2006 with production to start immediately thereafter.

The Todd Creek Well was tested and has been classified as a new natural gas pool discovery. Log analysis shows that the well has intersected two gas formations with a combined net pay of over 80 feet. Preliminary natural gas reserve estimates for this well exceed 700 Million Cubic Feet of gas.

The gas plant is initially capable of accommodating 10 million cubic feet of gas per day with significant expansion capabilities. While Delta will have no direct interest in the plant, the immediate access to market for its anticipated production from the area is of substantial benefit.

Delta has a 20% working interest in 13.75 sections of land (8,800 acres) in Todd Creek with an option to earn 15% in 7 additional sections of land (4,480) acres. It is estimated that gas reserves per section could reach 2.0 Billion Cubic Feet of gas. Further development of Todd Creek is planned for 2006 involving the drilling of several additional potential gas wells. Drilling of the next Todd well, located at 6-28-9-2W5, is planned to commence upon completion of the gas plant.
