Deep Rock Oil & Gas, Inc. Starts Second Well in Four Well Project
Wednesday January 18, 1:04 pm ET


TULSA, Okla., Jan. 18, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Deep Rock Oil & Gas, Inc. (Other OTC:DPRK.PK - News) announced today that it has begun drilling the second of a four well project in Northern Oklahoma. Preliminary tests of the first well showed initial gas flow rates in excess of 1,000,000 cubic feet per day.
As part of a previously announced agreement, Deep Rock will initially develop gas production within a 5 mile radius of the Washington Gathering System located near Bartlesville, OK. A joint-venture with Apollo Resources International, Inc. (OTC BB:AOOR.OB - News) gives Deep Rock a 49.5% revenue interest in all fees for production that flows through the pipeline owned by the joint venture. The pipeline is located in a large, undeveloped area prone to shallow gas reserves and relatively inexpensive exploration and production costs.
 

Robert Garner, CEO of Deep Rock stated, ``We are encouraged by the results of our first well and expect that continued drilling in this joint venture area will significantly increase Deep Rock's cash flow and reserve base.''
