NORX Norstra Energy Inc (CE)

NORSTRA ENERGY INC. WWW.NORSTRAENERGY.COM (OTCQB:NORX) ("Norstra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received confirmation that all permits, bonds, and surveys have been approved for the drilling of the 13-11 Milford Colony. Summit West, the Operator for Norstra, has provided this confirmation. All information will be posted on the Norstra website when available. In addition, casing was delivered last Saturday.

The drilling contractor for the drilling of the 13-11 Milford Colony is on another well at the moment. State regulators will not allow the drilling rig to move until the ground dries out from the recent rains. When possible, the rig will mobilize to the 13-11 Milford Colony. We anticipate that the rig will be mobilized shortly.

The company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q was also completed last week and will be posted on the website shortly.

Norstra continues to provide information for all requests by the SEC, pursuant to subpoenas received by the company. Also, A Form 15c211 is being completed by the company in conjunction with a potential sponsoring market maker, and will be filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority as soon as possible. This would potentially allow quotation of the Company's stock on higher tiers of the OTC exchange.

REGIONAL OIL & GAS DEVELOPMENT

Bighorn Oil and Gas has presented a video of their prospective drillsite which is 17 miles northwest of the Norstra site. The thrusting appears very similar to the 13-11 Milford colony site on their seismic. They are located near the JB Long well location drilled by Sun Oil.

Fairways Exploration has had reported success in a vertical test well in the Bakken in Teton county, which is located north of Lewis and Clark County. The well was drilled for evaluation purposes and has reportedly produced between 60-70 barrels from a vertical completion. 

"Any Bakken activity is good," says Glen Landry, CEO. "Instead of keeping drill data and completion a secret, we intend on allowing anyone to look at our logs and drill data to further encourage development in the area."
