FTTN Adds to Growing Texas Oil and Gas Portfolio with Waller County Acquisition

BRADENTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- First Titan Corp. (OTCBB: FTTN) added to its growing portfolio of Texas oil and gas assets by acquiring a working interest in a promising production package in Waller County, the company announced today.

Known as the Minns asset package, the Waller County project includes a multi-well production package located in the Brookshire Field.

The acquisition represents another substantial addition to the company's swelling asset base in the Lone Star State. Texas' oil production is in the midst of a major boom, outpacing growth in even North Dakota with output jumping by a third in just 12 months. In addition to FTTN's assets in Waller and Terrell Counties, the company is also in negotiations to acquire a working interest in more than 100,000 barrels of proven reserves in Hardin and Webb Counties.

Increasing global demand for oil, as well as innovations in drilling technology, has turned Texas' once-sluggish oil industry into a booming success. Last year, oil production in the state topped 546 million barrels, an increase of almost 60 percent since 2007.

FTTN expects to be well-positioned to capitalize on the industry's continued success. The company plans to announce more new additions to its asset portfolio in the coming months.

FTTN is a fast-growing oil and gas company dedicated to continuing development of energy assets throughout the country, alongside companies such as Continental Resources, Inc. (NYS: CLR) ,Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NYS: CHK) , SandRidge Energy Inc. (NYS: SD) and Ultra Petroleum Corp. (NYS: UPL) .
