Additional wells are being planned and permitted by a number of operators in Chisholm Trail. Nostra Terra will update shareholders of its participation in these wells once elections are made.
Â
Matt Lofgran, Chief Executive Officer of Nostra Terra, commented:
Â
"Since we first started in the Chisholm Trail Prospect just over a year ago, investment in the area has gone from strength to strength. This gives Nostra Terra plenty of opportunities to increase its portfolio in the area still further this year.
Â
We anticipate that the production from these wells will be a nice addition to our cash flow. We'll continue to reinvest those funds as quickly and prudently as possible to broaden our portfolio further."
