Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. Announces 18% Increase in Proved Oil Reserves

SPOKANE, Wash., April 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. (OTCQB:DBRM) ("Daybreak" or the "Company"), a Washington corporation, is pleased to announce that its fully-engineered proved oil reserves increased by 18% to 888,136 Barrels of Oil Equivalent ("BOE") for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015.  The Company's proved reserves at February 28, 2014 were 750,165 BOE.  

James F. Westmoreland, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are extremely pleased with our fiscal year-end reserve results.  We not only replaced our production of 40,831 barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") but increased our year-over-year proved reserve base by 18%.  Our focus during the last fiscal year was developing our oil reserves in Kentucky where we participated in the drilling of eight successful oil wells, which was fueled in part by a steady production base that we have built in California."

Mr. Westmoreland continued, "We are entering our current fiscal year carefully managing our Company in this existing low oil price environment.  We do, however, plan to take advantage of the lower service cost environment to drill several development wells in Kentucky this summer.  In California, we have permits to drill a number of development wells when the price of oil makes it more economical and financially sensible to do so.  We will remain flexible in our drilling schedule and have a number of projects in both Kentucky and California that we can implement quickly when we see a steady increase in the oil price.  In the meantime, we are looking for any possible new opportunity to be brought about as an effect of the current pricing environment."
