"I am pleased to announce that production has now commenced on what is, at the moment, our largest interest's in the Chisholm Trail prospect where we have a 12.58% and 5.31% interest," said Chief Executive Officer Matt Lofgran.

The company plans to acquire additional leases in the Chisholm Trail Prospect area. An announcement will be made after elections are received and made on further wells.

Alden McCall, Chief Operating Officer, said: "The wells are in the very early stages of production. As is our continuing philosophy, we will announce the production rate when a period of stability has been attained. Nostra Terra will continue investing with Ward Petroleum as the prospect develops, while seeking similar opportunities elsewhere."
