CWV Crown Point Energy Inc

(TSX-V:CWV): Crown Point Energy Inc. (“Crown Point” or the “Company”) today provided an update regarding its operations at Tierra del Fuego ("TDF") and Cerro de Los Leones (“CLL”).

Tierra del Fuego – La Angostura Concession (WI 34.74%)

In late January some initial water production was reported from the SM x-1001 oil well. The water cut subsequently increased to approximately 50% of the total fluid production from this well, which had averaged 1,470 (net 511) bopd from the upper Tobífera reservoir in December 2019. The well has been shut in, and a workover to evaluate the underlying middle Tobífera section (oil bearing in the SM a-1003 oil well located approximately 1 km to the NNW of SM x-1001) is now underway. Testing of the uppermost Tobífera section will be carried out after evaluation of the middle Tobífera section has been completed.

Installation of additional water handling facilities at San Martin has commenced and is scheduled to be completed during Q2 of this year.

SM a-1002 continues to produce oil with negligible water cut from the upper Tobífera reservoir; in December 2019 the well averaged 1,610 (net 559) bopd.

Cerro de Los Leones (WI 100%)

Extended production testing of the SRM x-1001 gas discovery well located on the northern CLL block was completed in late January, 2020. Over a 7 day period, the well produced gas from the Agua de la Piedra Formation (Middle Tertiary) at an average rate of 3.5 mmcfd at rates varying between 1.25 and 3.54 mmcfd at flowing well head pressures ranging between 760 and 1,060 psi through choke sizes of 6 mm to 12 mm. The total volume of gas produced during the test period was 9.7 mmcf plus 150 barrels of formation water. Water production during the test period averaged 17 barrels per 1 mmcf of gas.

The well has been shut in pending a review of the test results.

Initial Production or Test Rates:  Any references in this news release to initial production or production test rates are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however, such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will continue production and decline thereafter. Additionally, such rates may also include recovered "load oil" fluids used in well completion stimulation. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production for the Company. Initial production rates may be estimated based on other third party estimates or limited data available at this time. Well-flow test result data should be considered to be preliminary until a pressure transient analysis and/or well-test interpretation has been carried out. In all cases in this news release initial production or test results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance of the relevant well or fields or of ultimate recovery of hydrocarbons.
