(Source: Business Wire)trackingAustralian-Canadian Oil Royalties Ltd. (herein called ACOR) (OTCBB:AUCAF) is pleased to announce that the operator, Victoria Petroleum N.L. (Vicpet) for the PEL 111 Joint Venture, advises that the current operation at Snatcher-1 is running wire line logs after having drilled to a total depth of approximately 6,167 feet.

Wire line logs and sidewall cores indicate a gross oil column of approximately 46 feet over the interval 5,813 feet to 5,859 feet with the majority of the gross oil column being net oil pay.

Wire line formation sampling is in progress to obtain oil samples from the oil column for production engineering data.

The operator plans to complete the Snatcher-1 well as an oil producer.

ACOR owns a 1/10th of 1% ORRI under PEL 111 covering approx. 292,819 gross acres.

Rig Moves to immediately Drill Snatcher-2 Well on ACOR's ORRI

The operator stated that because of the good result of the Snatcher-1 well, the operator has decided to immediately drill the Snatcher-2 well with the same drilling rig to further evaluate the oil bearing potential of this part of PEL 111.

The Snatcher-2 exploration well location is approximately 2,949 feet to the northwest of Snatcher-1.

About the Western Margin Oil Trend:

Snatcher-1 is a successful test of the oil bearing potential of the Snatcher Prospect adjacent to the Santos Limited operated Charo Field in PPL 177. The PPL 177 license is wholly contained within PEL 111.

The new Snatcher oil field discovery on ACOR's ORRI under PEL 111, could possibly help discover a major new oil province that could possibly extend west to ACOR's PEL 112. The production testing of the Snatcher-1 well is planned to be carried out in mid July.

Recent drilling successes by Beach Petroleum, Cooper Energy and Victoria Petroleum on adjoining leases in the Cooper/Eromanga Basin in the Namur sandstone have operators theorizing that migration of oil past the Cooper/Eromanga Basin's Permian zero edge is highly possible.
