North American Petroleum says that Northcote Energy Ltd, its partner and operator of the 1,520 gross acre Zink Ranch Project ('Zinc Ranch' or 'the Project') in Oklahoma, has successfully completed infrastructure improvements at the Project in Oklahoma and accordingly, the recently recompleted well #13 is now online.

This update is in line with NAP's strategy to rapidly build net production and reserves through the acquisition and development of leases in liquids rich hydrocarbon plays.

Recompletions at four wells at the Zinc Ranch were conducted in May 2014, and two of these, wells 8-A and #13, are now in production. The two further wells, #14 and #15, will be brought online shortly. A total production figure once all four wells are back online and initial gross flow rates are available will be announced by Northcote and NAP.
