HOUSTON, Aug. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Bering Exploration, Inc. (OTCQB:  BERX) announced today that it has reached a total depth of 6,000 feet on the re-entry in the Chicas Locas #1 well in the Roxanne field. The Roxanne field is approximately 600 acres located in Victoria County, Texas and has multiple drilling locations that will target the Yegua and Frio formations at various depths.
