LEGEND OIL AND GAS LTD. Makes Solid Production Gains in Kansas

SEATTLE, Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Legend Oil and Gas Ltd. (OTC Markets: LOGL) ("Legend", the "Company") wishes to update the production results on the Company's Piqua Property in south eastern Kansas. 

Marshall Diamond-Goldberg, President of Legend Oil and Gas stated, "Production commenced on the four wells drilled on the Gillespie and Cress leases as of September 19^th. Initial production volumes have been higher than expected with total incremental production volume from the four wells averaging 2.5 BOPD per well.  Total production has exceeded 20 BOPD on the Piqua property since September 24^th.  With both the Pat Collins and Orth leases currently shut-in due to mechanical issues, the higher than expected incremental production has been gratifying.  These results have further diminished the risk of additional drilling planned by the Company over the next several months."

The thickness of the Squirrel reservoir in the Gillespie wells was greater than expected, opening additional drilling locations on that lease.  At Cress, sustainment of current production numbers may lead to additional drilling locations as well.

The Company is currently preparing its next tranche of wells to be drilled as soon as services are lined up.
