DXA Doxa Energy Ltd

Doxa Energy Ltd. ("Doxa" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:DXA) (OTCBB:DXAEF)
(FRANKFURT:5D0) today provided an update of its 2013 drilling program in the
Mississippian Lime Play and other areas.


Doxa reports that during the first five months of 2013, nine (9) new horizontal
wells were completed and put on-line in the Mississippian Lime Play. The new
wells increase its total interests in the play to 26 gross wells (.83 net). In
addition, the Company plans to participate in at least fifteen (15) additional
wells during the remainder of 2013, with working interests ranging from 1.67% to
5% net. The majority of the wells are being operated by SandRidge Exploration
and Production, LLC of Oklahoma City.


Average peak production rates for the twenty-three (23) wells that have been
producing for at least 30 days total 240 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per
day, 138 barrels of oil (BOPD) and 607 thousand cubic feet of natural gas
(MCFD). The most recent completed horizontal well, situated in central Alfalfa
County, Oklahoma, was put on-line within the last week at a peak 24 hour rate in
excess of 650 BOEPD, comprised of 380 BOPD and 1,700 MCFD. In addition,
estimates for completed well costs have declined from an average of $3.7mil for
the 16 gross wells Doxa participated in 2012, to just over US$3.4 for the 9
wells completed in 2013. Well costs are expected to continue to decline and
eventually average US$3.1 - $3.2mil per well, as infrastructure is completed and
efficiencies improve. 


As previously reported, Doxa owns an undivided 20% participating interest in
17,347 gross leasehold acres, being 3,469 net acres owned by the Company. To
date, the Company has invested approximately US$3.0 mil in drilling and
completing the 26 producing wells, which are currently generating approximately
US$80,000 in aggregate net revenue per month after deduction of royalty and
taxes. With regard to the 26 wells Doxa has participated in so far, 52% of the
total BOE production is comprised of oil and 48% natural gas.


Doxa's current monthly revenue attributable to all wells it has participated in
is approximately US$225,000 per month. Lease operating expenses on average
account for approximately 16% of the revenue stream. Estimated drilling and
completion cost, net to Doxa's interest, averages US$117,000 per well.


In addition to the foregoing update on its Mississippian operations, Doxa
reported recent results at its Sarco Creek project in Goliad County, Texas. A
third conventional shallow well drilled on the project to a depth of 5,525 feet
subsurface failed to encounter commercial quantities of oil or gas and was
deemed a dry hole. Management has decided to suspend additional drilling on this
project pending re-evaluation of the geological/geophysical data relied on in
selecting prospect locations. Doxa's estimated share of drilling cost for the
well is US$120,000 for its 30% interest.


John D. Harvison, President and CEO of Doxa commented that: "The results of our
initial exploration program at Sarco Creek were disappointing and clearly
illustrate the nature and risk associated with oil and gas exploration business
as a whole." He added "We are confident that our focus on the Mississippian Lime
Play of Oklahoma will provide our shareholders with attractive financial returns
in the coming years and allow us to expand into other regions and new plays."
