AusTex Oil Limited (ASX:AOK, TSX-V: ATO, OTCQX:ATXDY), is pleased to report net oil and gas production for August of 26,815 Barrels of Oil Equivalent (BOE). This translates to average production per day of 865 boe. A peak rate of +1,000 boe/day was also achieved for three days during August.
August production sets a new record for AusTex and represents a 17% increase in production on the prior month. As a result, the company is on track to deliver record quarterly revenue.
Production growth was driven by the improved performance of the 20 producing vertical wells at the 100%-owned Snake River project. With an additional six wells awaiting tie-in, which equates to a third of the wells currently on pump at Snake River, production is set to ramp up further.
AusTex is now undertaking additional infrastructure development works at Snake River with the installation of a third production hub to facilitate production growth.
The company is also pleased to report that negotiations around funding arrangements are progressing well with several interested parties. With more than 200 potential vertical wells to drill at Snake River, funding will ensure AusTex can accelerate production.
AusTex Executive Chairman Mr. Richard Adrey commented: "AusTex is well on track to meet its stated short-term goal of 1,000 boe/day production by the end of the calendar year.

"Given this month's production growth, revenue for the quarter will be a record. We are continuing our program of drilling two vertical wells a month at Snake River.

"Our operations team is working hard to further increase production by building new infrastructure. Our third production hub is the first step in this process, and it will allow us to tie-in an additional 6 wells in the coming weeks.

"AusTex is finalising its funding arrangements and continuing to deliver solid production growth from the Oklahoma assets. AusTex is primed for growth."
