AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - December 29, 2009) - United States Oil & Gas Corporation (
Cold snaps and winter storms that have recently hit the midwest and northern plains states are increasing demand for the Company's fuel services and products. This has in turn driven sales volume higher and will likely contribute to revenues for the fourth quarter that will be above expectations. Details of the Company's earnings will be provided after the quarter ends.
Following what was already a strong third quarter from Kansas farmers' harvesting record corn and soybean crops, higher demand at the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Turnbull Oil, has necessitated an increase in the size of its hauling fleet. The Company believes this will continue to be advantageous for sales in the future as well. Because Turnbull has strong and consistent margins on its fuels and a relatively large, established customer base, the business has been able to turn a profit and increase revenue even in a down economy.
Furthermore, due to the overall higher demand, additional fuel storage tanks are required at the Company's pending acquisition in North Dakota. Twenty new propane customers were added in the second week of December alone.
Having accomplished two of its primary strategic goals, the acquisition of Turnbull and United (to take effect January 1), the Company is looking forward to building on its success and continuing to deliver value to its shareholders in 2010.
What to look for in 2010:
1. On January 1, the completion of USOG's acquisition of North Dakota-based United Oil as a wholly owned operating subsidiary. Terms were finalized earlier this month to take effect immediately starting in the New Year. United is expected to generate $8 million in revenues for the year ending December 31, 2009. Although, based on recent positive trends, that amount is likely to be higher.
2. USOG is currently taking steps to move off the Pink Sheets and to the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). The Company intends to move to a more regulated exchange to enhance communication with shareholders and ensure corporate transparency.
3. Opportunity to significantly expand Turnbull's operations in the region through several acquisition candidates available.
