PrimeGen Energy Corp. (PINKSHEETS: PGNE) ("PrimeGen" or the
"Company") wishes to advise that as part of the recent previously
announced acquisition on March 31, 2009, of a 100% interest regarding
an oil and gas project in Rodnikovskogo, Russia, the operator,
Seneko, has notified PrimeGen of their mobilization of equipment for
the commencement of drilling within the participatory lands.
The well has been titled as the "Rod 10-21" and is scheduled for
immediate drilling with preliminary results anticipated within one
week from commencement. The operator has advised that the equipment
is currently on its way to the targeted location and drilling will
begin shortly.
The property is located in the Krasnoarmeiskome District, Saratovskoi
Oblast in Russia, one of the most significant oil and gas regions in
the country with advanced infrastructure and more than 60 years of oil
and gas production history. Saratov lies in the European part of
Russia and borders Kazakhstan, the largest oil producing country in
Central Asia. The property covers an expansive area of approximately
250 sq. km.
Continuing 3D seismic data collection and analysis of the property is
scheduled for 2010 and will be running concurrently with the drilling
program. Several additional high potential drill targets have already
been identified and will be further defined and evaluated for
feasibility during the next phase of work on the property. The
license is within a highly prospective region with existing oil
production on adjacent licenses and the super-giant THK-BP gas field.
