Flair Petroleum Corporation Provides Update on its Heavy Oil Developments

Flair Petroleum Corporation reports that it will not be proceeding with the acquisition and development of the heavy oil projects known as MegaWest in Edwards County, Texas, Deerfield in Missouri, and Chetopa in Kansas. Flair was a party to Letters of Intent (“LOIs”) permitting the Company to conduct a full technical, legal and economic due diligence of the projects. The initial $700,000 deposit monies advanced to enter into the LOI’s will be returned in full as per the terms of the agreements.

Other heavy oil projects in the US have been made available to Flair which have been deemed to be more attractive due to their reduced technical risk and due to the fact that a higher ownership interest can be earned or acquired in these projects by Flair. These new projects are heavy oil projects located in Texas and Utah where Flair is in the process of entering into definitive agreements and as soon as these commitments are finalized the details will be disclosed. Furthermore, these new projects are likely better suited for extraction utilising RadCan Energy Services’ radial drilling technology (see www.radialdrilling.com) to which Flair has a preferential right of usage. It is estimated that these new projects could produce a higher level of daily production once peak production is achieved than the previously evaluated projects.
