IRVING, TX, March 03, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Breitling Oil and Gas Corporation, an independent producer based in Irving, Texas, announced today that drilling operations have begun on its BREITLING-STAR #1 well.

Breitling's Chief Executive Officer, Chris Faulkner, said today, "We are excited to commence drilling of the BREITLING-STAR #1 prospect using our proprietary Geo3D technology. After 18 months of hard work assembling data, shooting 3D and analyzing pay zones we are ready to drill to target depth and complete another successful well."
Breitling is drilling the BREITLING-STAR #1 using its proprietary technology, Breitling Geo3D. Geo3D represents an advance in filtering techniques for seismic data that can detect small vertical movements along fracture planes. This technology allows Breitling to see where hydrothermal solutions have leached and dolomitized and created enhanced porosity and permeability. Further, the technology allows Breitling to detect what overlooked "chimney" features that are apparent on 3D seismic but undetected by normal interpretation.
