CALGARY, ALBERTA — (Marketwired) — 07/11/13 — Mart Resources, Inc. (TSX VENTURE: MMT) (“Mart” or the “Company”) and its co-venturers, Midwestern Oil and Gas Company Plc. (Operator of the Umusadege field) and SunTrust Oil Company Limited are providing the following update on the Central Production Facility at the Umusadege field.
Umusadege Central Production Facility
The new CPF was commissioned on July 8, 2013 at the Umusadege field and all production is currently being processed by the new facility. The CPF handles all petroleum products from the Umusadege field and utilizes gas produced from the field for power generation. The new CPF has a design capacity of 35,000 barrels per day, which is expected to be sufficient to handle the full field capacity anticipated from the existing reserves, as well as the potential for production from prospective resources in the Umusadege farmout area. The CPF is expandable to handle future production increases as needed.
The CPF replaces the temporary early production facilities at the field that were expanded to a 20,000 barrels per day capacity in 2010. The CPF not only increases processing capacity, but also replaces rental storage equipment with permanent equipment that is expected to decrease operating costs per barrel.
Wade Cherwayko, CEO of Mart stated: “Completion and commissioning of the new CPF is a significant milestone for the development of the Umusadege field. It increases processing capacity and is expected to result in a higher netback per barrel.”
Additional information regarding Mart is available on the Company–s website at and under the Company–s profile on SEDAR at .
Except where expressly stated otherwise, all production figures set out in this press release, including barrels per day, reflect gross Umusadege field production rather than production attributable to Mart. Mart–s share of total gross production before taxes and royalties from the Umusadege field fluctuates between 82.5% (before capital cost recovery) and 50% (after capital cost recovery).
