Thursday, Jan 17, 2013

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Victory Energy Corporation (OTCQB: VYEY), a growth oriented non-operating oil and gas company, today provided a drilling operations update for Aurora Energy Partners ("Aurora") which the Company manages and in which it owns a 50 percent interest.  Aurora has three new wells (Hickory 14 State #1, University 7 #1, Morgan #1) in various states of completion, a fourth well (Cotter #1) planned to spud within the next week and a fifth well (Milan 12 State #1) on plan to spud in February.

"This level of activity represents a new high for the Company and a great beginning to the new year," said Kenny Hill, Victory Energy CEO.  "With a favorable estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) and substantial 25 percent working interest, the Cotter #1 well has the potential to generate greater monthly cash flow than any of our previous wells.  The imminent spud of this well and the continued planned development of the Lightnin' property offers the most immediate and strategic path to improve our cash flow and achieve profitability this year."
