(PINKSHEETS: PCAI), a gasoline station/convenience store operator, has formed an oil and gas exploration division to capitalize on strategic producing oil and gas wells throughout the United States. Further details of the Company's negotiations regarding obtaining interest in producing oil wells are expected to be announced.
David Cohen, President and CEO of Petroleum Consolidators, stated, "We are extremely excited about the creation of this new division, as it will expand our revenue stream and offset the fluctuations in retail gasoline margins in 2009."
"There are lucrative opportunities to acquire producing oil wells that do not require extensive testing, equipment upgrades or other factors which could delay output," continued Mr. Cohen. "And our research suggests that there is another medium-term trend coming where oil is going to reverse course and head higher. We anticipate that oil should advance to the $55-$60 per barrel range. However, in the event oil remains at these low levels we are still projected to be profitable."
This development serves as another step in Petroleum Consolidators' vertical integration within the Company's Business Model which demonstrates further progress towards achieving our corporate goals.
