Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Shiffoil Inc. (formerly 1885683 Alberta Ltd.) (“Shiffoil” or the “Company”) announces that the Company is now conducting its 2018 drilling program in Pierson Manitoba. In addition, on August 5, 2018, the board of directors approved the Company’s change of name to Shiffoil Inc.

The 2018 drilling program consists of 6 gross / 4.2 net horizontal wells (three at 100% working interest (operated) and two at 50% working interest targeting the Spearfish formation and one 20% working interest multi-leg horizontal well targeting Mission Canyon formation (non-operated)). The first two 100% wells (02/14-05 and 00/14-16) came on production in the month of August at an average cost of C$1.06 million per well. The third 100% working interest well is scheduled to be drilled in October and is an offset to the newly drilled 00/14-16 well that has an IP30 of 183 barrels per day of light oil.  The three non-operated wells are currently being drilled and completed by the joint venture partner Melita Resources and are expected to come on production this month. Current operating netbacks remain at around C$50 per barrel of oil and the Company's resource-related tax pools available to reduce future taxable income totaled approximately $9 million.

On the business development side, Shiffoil has acquired some new lands with booked reserves in the Pierson field targeting the Spearfish formation. The Company has also acquired from Sundog Oil and Gas Inc, a private Alberta company owned 22% by Shiffoil, 50% working interest in over 1,600 acres with 60 possible well locations targeting the prolific Lodgepole formation in the Sinclair area of south west Manitoba.  The Company is currently working on plans for a future financing and will update its reserve report after the 2018 drilling program is completed.

The Company is also very pleased to announce the addition of Michael Blair filling the role of Production Engineer.  Michael is a Petroleum Engineer from the University of Regina with an extensive knowledge of the oil and gas industry in western Canada. Among others, he was the production engineer for Penn West and also for Legacy Oil + Gas sold to Crescent Point for $1.53 billion in 2015.
