CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / December 21, 2015 / WELLSTAR ENERGY CORP. (TSXV: WSE) ("WellStar", or the "Company") announced today that it has completed its previously announced asset acquisition to acquire a partner's (the "Vendor") interest in the Company's McTaggart, Saskatchewan oil project, plus additional lands and 2D seismic data.

A right of first refusal was enacted by a third party causing the acquired interest to drop to 32.82% from the previously announced 39.29% (see news release dated November 30, 2015). Before adjustments, the purchase price for the acquisition reflecting the new acquired interest was $75,998.

WellStar's President & CEO Andrew H. Rees stated, "The Company's board of directors has given management the mandate to seek out high-quality accretive acquisitions in the context of the current low oil price environment. We are very pleased to have been able to complete this acquisition and will continue working on a number of the opportunities currently under review."

Acquisition Overview:

The acquisition interests at the McTaggart project include two oil wells and facilities which include a salt water disposal well, a 5,000 barrel oil storage battery and a fresh water source well.

In September 2015, over $15,000 of monthly salt water disposal revenue was received net to the Vendor's working interest. The Company expects to receive similar amounts in the forthcoming months.

In September 2015 the 5B9-6 oil well averaged 2.9 m3/d of oil production (or 18.2 bopd). The 32.82% working interest being acquired from Vendor represents approximately 6 bopd. The well is currently undergoing maintenance while management evaluates and budgets for the installation of an ESP (Electronic Submersible Pump) which would significantly increase production volumes. The change in oil production would be dependent on the water cut.

The Company's recent recompletion in the 1B9-6 well is the second well in the acquisition package. The Vendor did not participate in the recompletion and has therefore been in penalty. After penalty payout, the Company will keep its acquired interest which would have otherwise been earned by the vendor.

As part of this acquisition the Company has acquired a licensed copy of the Vendor's interests in four 2-D seismic lines in the McTaggart area. This 2D seismic data will aid in the development of future opportunities in the McTaggart area.

WellStar has acquired a 25% mineral interest from the Vendor in two Freehold leases. These lands directly offset the Company's McTaggart property.
