Westar to Acquire Eagle Oil Position in Truestar Leases
Westar Is Set to Acquire the Working Interest and Operator Position in the Leases of Which Truestar Petroleum Is a Holder; Anticipated $500,000 per Month Increase in Net Income
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - August 8, 2007) - Terax Energy (OTCBB: TEXG), soon to be named Westar Oil and Gas Inc, has agreed to acquire the working interest positions and the operator position in the leases which Truestar Petroleum is a working interest holder. The price being paid is 6.3 million dollars cash for both the working interest and the operator's position. This acquisition will allow Westar to become the operator of record and to substantially reduce the operating expenses of the oil and gas operations. Westar is already a major shareholder in Truestar and will over the next several months change the operations in order to reduce the overhead, and streamline the costs of operations. It is expected that this acquisition should allow for an increase in net income by over $500,000 dollars per month. Having control and ownership over both the working interest and the operator position of Eagle will allow Westar to drill and develop the properties at a much faster rate. In addition, this will allow Westar to increase the density of the wells which are being drilled as well as the ability to specifically decide which locations to drill.
Westar has executed with Eagle a final purchase and sale agreement to acquire the interests which are being sold by Eagle. The closing of the transaction is set for August 11th, subject to the approval of Truestar for the change of operator from Eagle to Westar. Westar is a licensed oil and gas operator in Texas.
The closing of the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other conditions: (i) receipt of all applicable permits, authorizations, consents, or approvals required consummating the exchange; (ii) neither the Companies having suffered any material adverse effect.
