XTRACT ENERGY PLC

("Xtract" or the "Company")

Completion of sale of Extrem



The Company is pleased to announce that Xtract has today received payment of $100,000 from Merty Energy, Petroleum Exploration, Education and Services Inc. ("Merty") and individual members of the Yoldemir family in consideration for its 50% stake of Extrem Energy AS ("Extrem"), a Turkish joint stock company with a portfolio of licence interests in onshore and offshore Turkey.



Merty, which following the transaction, owns 100% of Extrem, will now be able to fund and progress the licences through farm out with new partners. Xtract is expected to benefit from this strategy in that it will have no further financial liability in relation to Extrem or the Turkish licences but will retain a participation in any successful commercial production by virtue of Merty's assignment to it of a gross over-riding royalty interest in and to all of the oil, gas and other hydrocarbon substances and minerals produced, saved and marketed from certain exploration licences.



The parties agree that the gross overriding royalty interest shall be calculated using the market price for hydrocarbon at the relevant time, after deduction of a 12.5 per cent. royalty payable to the government pursuant to the applicable law.

Under stock exchange rules the transaction is classed as a reverse takeover and it must apply for its shares to be re-admitted to the market.


That will take place on September 13, when trading in the shares of the enlarged company will begin. Chief executive Peter Moir said: We are very pleased to have successfully raised 3million, the net proceeds of which will be used to fund the costs associated with acquiring Elko Energy and the ongoing working capital requirements of the company.

Its stock market value currently 15million is expected to be 18.8million following re-admission.Set up in 2004, Xtract first floated on AIM in 2005.

Xtract focuses its attention on North Sea wells in Q4
Fri 3:10 pm by Jon Mainwaring Xtract completed its acquisition of Elko Energy this summer
During the next few months Xtract Energy (LON:XTR) will be focusing on the companys North Sea projects, where it plans to drill two wells in Denmark and the Netherlands in the final quarter of the year.

The firm, which released its interim results for the six months to June 30 this afternoon, has an interest in offshore Denmark through its Elko Energy subsidiary, which Xtract has now finished acquiring.

Elko Energy holds a 33-per cent working interest in two exploration licences there and these licences cover a combined area of 3,638 square kilometres. According to Xtract, they offer P50 un-risked prospective resources of 747 million barrels of oil.

The partners in Denmark have already selected a location for the first well, to be called Luna. Xtract said the well will be drilled to test the Rotleigendes play in an optimum position for reservoir quality, thickness and hydrocarbon charge in the combined prospective area.

In the Netherlands, also offshore, Elko Energy and Elko Exploration hold interests on the P1 and P2 blocks operated by Chevron. Chevron plans to drill an appraisal well on block P2 during the fourth quarter of 2011 with its main objective being to evaluate commercial hydrocarbon flow rates from an extended-reach horizontal well within the Rotleigendes sandstone reservoir. This well programme is expected to last 100 days.

After making an offer in June to acquire outstanding shares that Xtract did not already own in Elko Energy, the firm has now completed the acquisition of the business. Meanwhile, Xtract has also disposed of its 50-per cent holding in Extrem Energy.

We are very happy to have now completed the acquisition of Elko Energy Inc. and the disposal of our interest in Extrem Energy AS, said Peter Moir, Xtracts chief executive. These transactions allow management to more effectively focus on core business areas moving forward. We are excited about our future prospects, particularly in the North Sea where we have two wells being drilled in the next quarter.

The firm made a net loss of 1.2 million during the first half, compared with a 10.3 million loss in H1 2010. Meanwhile, cash on its balance sheet at the end of June stood at 4.6 million (December 31 2010: 8.8 million).
