Heartland Oil And Gas Negotiates For Pipeline Extension

Spring Hill, KN - Heartland Oil and Gas Corp. has negotiated to extend its contract with Double J Pipeline Construction of Baldwin, Kansas in order to connect additional wells to the sales line in its Cherokee Basin Coalbed Methane Field in Southeastern Kansas. In phase one of this project, the pipeline will be extended by 6 miles to connect 18 additional wells, including one of the previously completed wells that has been venting natural gas for over one year.

"With the assistance of Double J and UPDA's Aztec Well Service subsidiary as well as other subcontractors, we expect to permit, drill, complete and connect as many as 5 new wells per week," reports Heartland CEO Steven A. Fall. "Aztec is ready to begin drilling on the 4 sites we recently permitted while our land department finalizes the title work and application process for 5 more. At the same time, our completion contractor is perforating the wells we recently drilled while Double J connects them to the gathering system."

In addition to the work being performed at its Lancaster and Jake Pilots, Heartland is also negotiating with landowners near its Osawatomie and Beagle Pilots in order to obtain rights of way to connect seven more venting wells to the sales line and further develop drilling programs in those areas.
