PRESS RELEASE
Exhibit 99.1
Black Ridge
Oil & Gas Completes Williston Basin Acquisition
MINNETONKA, MN
- December 16, 2013 - Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQB: ANFC), a well-positioned
exploration and production (E&P) company focused on non-operated Bakken and Three Forks properties, today announced the closing
of its previously announced acquisitions in the Williston Basin ("Corral Creek Acquisition").
On December 13,
2013, the Company completed the acquisition of certain producing oil and gas wells and development acreage in the Williston Basin
for $20.6 million, including net purchase price adjustments of $0.1 Million. The effective date for the Corral Creek Acquisition
was October 1, 2013.
Black Ridge Oil
& Gas funded the Corral Creek Acquisition with proceeds from its re-determined senior secured credit facility with Cadence
Bank, N.A., its second lien credit facility with Chambers Energy Capital, L.P., and cash on hand. At closing, Cadence increased
the Company's borrowing base from $7.0 million to $18.0 million.
Ken DeCubellis,
Black Ridge's Chief Executive Officer, said: "Closing this transaction marks a key milestone in our Company's growth
plan. We expect to end 2013 with 4.7 net wells in production, which is approximately 100% growth over the net wells in production
at year end 2012. The Company also has approximately 1.55 net wells preparing to drill, drilling, or awaiting completion. This
robust drilling activity sets the table for continued production growth in 2014".
DeCubellis was
interviewed by Oil & Gas 360
®
to discuss the near-term benefits and details of the Corral Creek Acquisition.
