Crown Point Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CWV) advises that significant progress has been made in plans to develop its 690,000 net acres of land:
- Crown Point's average daily production over July and August increased to 2,070 BOED.
- Cerro de los Leones: (CWV: 100% WI) Crown Point's 122 km-2D and 160 km2-3D Seismic Program has commenced data acquisition
- Tierra del Fuego: (CWV: 25.78% WI) a successful five well fracture stimulation program has resulted in the addition of 7 mmcf/d of gross new gas production of which a 4 mmcf/d portion is the higher priced Gas Plus production
- El Valle: (CWV:80% WI) a six well drilling program has yielded five producing oil wells and one future water injection well.
- El Valle: field electrification program is nearing completion.
PRODUCTION UPDATE
Crown Point's net daily production during July and August of 2012 has averaged 2,070 Boed comprised of 1,630 Barrels of oil equivalent from Tierra del Fuego and 440 barrels of oil from El Valle.
CERRO DE LOS LEONES CONCESSION - Neuqu?n Basin, Mendoza
Crown Point's Cerro de los Leones seismic program commenced in August as necessary permits were obtained. The initial phase of the program was to re-condition existing access roads and tracks so as to enable the seismic crews to effectively access the property. The Seismic program is comprised of 122 km of 2D seismic and 160 km2 of 3D seismic. The majority of the 2D program has been shot and is in for processing. Data acquisition on the 160 km2 3D program which focuses on structural features and the Vaca Muerta in the southern portion of the Concession is expected to commence at the end of October. We anticipate that recording will be completed in November and will be processed immediately upon program completion with interpretation and drilling location selection following in sequence.
LAS VIOLETAS, ANGOSTURA SUR, RIO CULLEN CONCESSIONS, Austral Basin, Tierra del Fuego
The bulk of Crown Point's production and reserves are located on the Las Violetas Concession. Crown Point's net production at Tierra del Fuego for July and August has averaged 1,630 boed which is comprised of net 7.76 mmcf/d of gas and 321 bbl/day of oil and liquids. This reflects a 15% increase in production resulting from a pre-Argentine winter fracture stimulation program carried out on five wells on the Las Flamencos gas pool. This fracture program targeted wells eligible to receive higher prices under the Gas Plus incentive program. As a result of the fracture program, gross gas production increased by 7 mmcf/d of which 4 mmcf/d is eligible for the higher Gas Plus field pricing of $4.10/mcf.
The ten year extension agreements (extending the termination date of the three concessions to 2026) negotiated earlier in the year with the provincial government of Tierra del Fuego, have been signed by the Governor and are waiting for ratification by the Provincial Legislature . Timing of the completion of this process is expected prior to year's end. Once the extension agreements have been ratified by the Provincial Legislature, a multi-well drilling program focussing on new Gas Plus Production and Reserves is planned to commence in 2013 on the Los Violetas concession. The company also plans to acquire 3-D seismic on the Angostura Sur and Rio Cullen concessions during 2013. Crown Point's Tierra del Fuego concessions are high quality natural gas weighted assets possessing the capability to deliver increased levels of production and reserves in an increasing natural gas price market.

Drilling and Completion update
Crown Point has completed a six well drilling program at El Valle, resulting in five new oil wells and one suspended well. This drilling program has extended the size of two existing oil pools and discovered a new oil pool in the southern central part of the concession. Close proximity to electricity has allowed two of the new wells to utilize a new type of progressive cavity pump (HRPCP Progressive Cavity pump) which has technology that enables it to handle high GOR (gas/oil ratio) oil more efficiently.
There is an extended break-in period where the pump has to be run at the bottom of its RPM range, but once this period is over the ability to speed the pumps up for additional volumes may become available provided the well maintains high fluid levels. At present both of the wells are producing 80 barrels/day of oil each. Ongoing monitoring of fluid levels in the two HRPCP equipped wells indicated that up to an additional 30 barrels/day per well may be obtained from increased speeds of the pumps. An added benefit of the pumps is that they cost one half of the price of a conventional pump jack and frequently have lower operating costs.
South Eastern Area of El Valle
Crown Point has now drilled six wells into a seismically mapped Ca?adon Seco oil pool. The first three wells which were drilled in the 2011 drilling program are EV 23, EV 26 and EV 31; all of these wells were successfully completed in a correlated section in the middle Ca?adon Seco sand and have collectively produced 113,000 net barrels of oil (80% WI). In the latest drilling program Crown Point drilled three more wells into the pool; all of these wells were completed in the same middle Ca?adon Seco sand that has been correlated between all the wells.
This correlation is encouraging and indicative of an oil pool of significant size. As expected, the new wells encountered a slightly pressure depleted reservoir indicative of connectivity with the prior year's wells. The larger pool size is supported by geological and seismic mapping as does the lack of a defined water contact in the reservoir. Crown Point has mapped additional drilling locations in this pool and a secondary recovery scheme is in the early conceptual planning stage. Waterflood secondary recovery schemes are in wide spread use throughout the San Jorge Basin and generally demonstrate improved rates of production and higher ultimate recoveries of oil in place.
Southern Central Area of El Valle
Crown Point followed up last year's successful EV 24 and EV 27 wells, which were drilled into an untested fault controlled trap. These wells were completed in the Ca?adon Seco and Mina el Carmen formations and have produced to date approximately 40,000 barrels of oil. In the latest drilling campaign two wells, EV 28 and EV 32, were drilled to the west and east respectively of the producing wells. The successful EV 28 well did indeed push the pool boundary further to the west and has tested oil from the Ca?adon Seco, Caleta Olivia and Mina el Carmen formations. The EV 32 well, which was drilled at a structurally lower level as compared to EV 27, encountered the water leg to the pool. Crown Point has mapped two additional drilling locations to the west of EV 28.
EV-38x is a new pool discovery north of the EV 28 and EV 32 wells. This is a new pool discovery well drilled into an untested fault controlled trap. This well encountered hydrocarbons in three different zones (totalling 7 metres) in the Ca?adon Seco formation. Crown Point has mapped several additional drilling locations to the west and east of the well. This well had one of the HRPCP pumps installed and is completing its break in period.
Electrical Installation
The installation of 10.4 kVa (medium tension) electrical lines to the southern portion of the Concession will be completed in October. The program includes the installation, testing and energization of lines to the edge of Crown Point well sites and changing all the pump jack motors currently operating with natural gas powered motors to electric motors.
The benefits of the project will include the ability to install high volume progressive cavity pumps which handle high GOR oil more efficiently, better operational efficiencies due to more consistent rates of production and provide power for expanded facilities at reduced operating costs. Electricity will also permit the installation of surface measuring equipment as well as downhole monitoring to better evaluate production conditions and reservoir characteristics.
