BRIDGEWATER, N.J., July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PrimeGen Energy
Corp. (Pink Sheets: PGNE) ("PrimeGen" or the "Company") today
announces the June production for the Kochmesskoye well at
Timan-Pechora, Russia. The well commenced commercial oil production
on June 17, 2009, and the Company has received production results
for the first 21 days. Total oil produced and sold was 25,200
barrels with an average daily production rate of 1,200 barrels per
day. The swab test analysis of the well during the completion phase
indicated that the production rate should exceed the original
estimate of 1,400 barrels per day. The I.P.R.s (Initial Production
rates) are being evaluated and production has, over many days in
the month, exceeded a rate of 1,300 barrels per day. The
Kochmesskoye well is the first of a multi-well program drilled at
Timan-Pechora by PrimeGen. The 2009 development program calls for
the drilling of a minimum of 30 wells to develop the field. When
fully developed, the 30 wells should give a daily production rate
at Timan-Pechora of 35,000 barrels per day. Robert Charlton,
President, states, "The first month production at Timan-Pechora is
what we believe to be the start of a lengthy and profitable
operation. As Timan-Pechora is developed, the oil reserves will
become a core asset to the Company's future cash flow." Using
current pricing for Timan-Pechora crude oil, PrimeGen has now
projected that the well has generated $1.6 million in revenue or
$19.2 million per year and will payout its entire cost in 3 months.
Currently, oil at Timan-Pechora has been priced at over $65.00 per
barrel. The Timan-Pechora Project area currently consists of 24
