Sep. 3, 2009 (Business Wire) — Cobra Oil & Gas Company (NASD OTC BB: CGCA) (hereafter “Cobra”) is pleased to offer an overview of PetroChina’s acquisition of a majority stake in two oil sands projects in northern Alberta for US$1.7bn. The two projects are known as Mackay River and Dover which are currently being developed by Athabasca Oil Sands with projected production at full capacity reaching 300,000 – 500,000 barrels a day. The first phase of Mackay River is due to come on stream in 2014.
