Kardokus 5-10 Hits Red Fork “D” Formation

September 22, 2004 – The Strata Rig #1 has reached its target depth of 13,800 feet on the Kardokus 5-10 well at the Lasley Project in Oklahoma. Western Development Oil and Gas (Western), the operator, has logged, set and cemented pipe to total depth. The well encountered 60 feet of gross sand in the Red Fork “D” formation, the primary target of the well. Completion of the Kardokus 5-10 should start later this month. Hydrocarbon shows were also encountered in the Marchand, Skinner and Red Fork formations. Sovereign has a 12.91% +/- working interest in the well.

The Kardokus 5-10 is a south offset to the Kardokus 3-10 well which was completed in August of 2003, which has produced 399,663 MCF and is presently producing at 1,800 to 2,000 MCF of gas per day. Western is planning additional locations to be drilled this year on the Lasley project such as the Williams 2-9 and the Kardokus 6-10. The Lasley Project covers approximately 10,000 +/- acres that is part of a 60,000 acre Area of Mutual interest with Western and Saxon Oil Company.

The following wells are currently producing on the Lasley project: The Williams 1-9, Tiger 1-15, Bear 1-19, Oklahoma State 1-13, Kardokus 2-10 and Running Bear 1-21, which were purchased in the original acquisition; and The Kardokus A1-10, Kardokus 3-10, Kardokus 4-10, Alley Cat 1-14, King 1-32, Sheward 1-31, Tiger 2-15, Stray Cat 1-14, and the Rosser 1-11, which were drilled in 2003 and 2004:
