Imperial Resources, Inc.; SWDF Tubing Pulled & Bridge Plug Set Ready for Sidetrack

AUSTIN, Texas, July 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Imperial Resources, Inc. (OTCBB: IPRC) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Imperial Oil & Gas, Inc. (together the "Company", "Imperial") is pleased to announce that, further its announcement of July 5, 2011 the Company's subsidiary Green Tide Water Disposal, Ltd. ("Green Tide") has completed preparation work for the deepening of the Green Tide Salt Water Disposal Facility ("SWDF") well from around 3,100 feet to a Total Depth of in excess of 8,500 feet in the Ellenberger formation.

Approximately 1700 feet of tubing was tripped out of the hole and the packer removed. The existing casing was removed and a cast iron bridge plug set near the bottom of the intermediate casing in preparation for the installation of the whipstock and sidetrack drilling.  The preparatory work was completed without incident and in less time than expected.  

Drilling rig arrival is currently expected, subject to contract, by the end of August, 2011. An announcement on drilling rig contract will be made in due course.

The SWDF

The SWDF is conveniently located for the disposal of large volumes of salt water generated from essential fracture stimulation operations on Barnett Shale gas wells. There are approximately 6,000 such wells within 20 miles of the SWDF.

Imperial plans to reopen the SWDF to dispose of up to 15,000 barrels of salt water a day. The Company's acquisition and development of the low run-time SWDF assets and disposal permit is expected to save in excess of $5,000,000, compared to a new build cost.

The SWDF is one of two key projects identified as transformational for Imperial (the other being the Company's Oklahoma project).
