Citadel Exploration Inc. announced that it has completed the Pastoria Creek 3-2 well. This well will be tested and put on production as soon as possible. Based on data obtained from the drilling of this well, the rig will now move to a follow-up location.

This new proposed delineation well will be called the Pastoria Creek 1-2 and drilling will commence within a week. With the drilling of the Pastoria Creek 3-2, Citadel has now earned in to this exploration block and will now pay 20% of the cost of the 1-2 well for 20% of the working interest and all subsequent drilling on this block. In addition, the company announced that the previously drilled North Tejon 1-19, the company's first exploration well, is currently undergoing testing and Citadel expects results from both that well and the Pastoria 3-2 in the near term.
