CALGARY, ALBERTA — (Marketwire) — 06/26/12 — Strata Oil and Gas (OTCQB: SOIGF), a leader in the exploration and development of heavy oil from carbonates, today provided an update on activities and events at and near its Cadotte Project, located in the Peace River region of Alberta–s Carbonate Triangle. Currently, the company is executing on Phase 1 of a five phase plan to develop its 52,480 acre holdings.
“Bitumen production and development projects continue to expand in the Carbonate Triangle, which today is the third largest crude reserve in the world and the largest open to investment by private oil companies,” said Ron Daems, president of Strata Oil and Gas. “While the enthusiasm for the potential of bitumen reserves from Alberta–s Carbonate Triangle continues to grow, less than 5% of the initial reserves estimated have been brought into production. This reaffirms our belief that the growth opportunity and commercial extent of our project in the Peace River region is substantial and will ultimately translate into enhanced value for our shareholders.”
