1.) We began with the belief in our ability,
little cash and 10 square miles of 3-D seismic in Victoria
County, Texas for the exploration and development of the
Frio and Miocene formations. Through subsurface mapping
and 3-D seismic evaluation, our geo science professionals
identified six prospects. Due to budget constraints we began
by developing prospects and selling to other oil and gas
companies for them to develop. We are pleased to announce
the successful drilling, completion and commercial success
of the first four prospects drilled (2 remaining). The 100%
success rate is a tribute to the many oil and gas professionals
working on the project. The information gained form theses
successful wells will be utilized in the further interpretation
of the data and development of the Gulf Coast Frio and Miocene
trend.
2.) Local knowledge and a great deal of
detective work lead us to our next project which consisted
of several wells with little or no production. The field
had been under several operators with little to no documentation
of past procedures. Through log analysis, subsurface geological
mapping and superior engineering skills we were able to
re-establish production from some of the old proven productive
zones and made a completion in a new productive sand. We
were presented with an un-solicited offer and subsequently
sold the field.
3.) Our next acquisition was 70 square
miles of 3-D seismic data in a historically prolific trend
in South Texas for exploitation drilling of the shallow
pay sands and to verify potential deeper objective with
the potential for significant reserves.
4.) We are pleased to announce the addition
of Dr Barbara Radovich to our organization.
Dr. Barbara J. Radovich has 28 years of worldwide experience
in 2D and 3D seismic and well log sequence stratigraphy
of clastics and carbonates, fluvial to deepwater settings,
and regional basin to reservoir scales of investigation.
She is a proven oil-finder, having developed new deep water
interpretation criteria leading to major discoveries in
the deepwater offshore Nigeria for which she received Texaco’s
highest research award. She is a recognized speaker on the
integration of 3D seismic attribute and visualization techniques
within a framework of sequence stratigraphic architectures,
especially in shelf margin to deepwater settings. Her experience
covers over 40 areas around the world including West and
East Africa, South America, Mediterranean, Gulf of Mexico,
North Sea and Southeast Asia. Presently she works as an
independent; her previous corporate affiliations are Texaco,
Pennzoil, and Exxon Production Research.
5.) Dr. Radovich reports the preliminary
review of the above mentioned 70 square miles of 3-D seismic
indicates favorable conditions are occurring for the potential
trapping of hydrocarbons.
6.) We are pleased to announce that Mr.
Rich Purtell has joined our organization.
Mr. Purtell has over 40 years of experience in the oil and
gas industry. His career began with Chevron Oil Company.
During his tenure with Chevron he was involved in exploration
on a worldwide basis. He joined ARCO Oil and Gas Company
in 1981 working in the Plano, Texas Research Facility where
he was Manager and Director of Geophysical Operations in
support of both domestic and international exploration.
Mr. Purtell was responsible for project implementation,
technical development, budget and contract negotiations
and awards for domestic exploration operations as well as
support functions for ARCO International. He was active
in environmental and government affairs as related to geophysical
and exploration activity in the U.S. In 1993 ARCO founded
Vastar Resources, Inc. Mr. Purtell was assigned to Vastar
where he was a significant contributor to the fledgling
company’s numerous exploration successes. He was responsible
for the development and implementation of all 3-D seismic
projects conducted by Vastar. He is well known and respected
in the industry for his broad base of knowledge in the oil
and gas industry. As a recognized contributor to the industry
he as been invited to serve on many industry steering committees
related to the technical, environmental and governmental
aspects of the petroleum industry.
7.) Dr. Radovich has been evaluating our
70 square miles of 3-D seismic data; she has identified
six anomalies at approximately 10,000 feet deep which have
a history of producing hydrocarbons on trend and in the
immediate area. Estimated reserves from the six anomalies
identified is between 100 and 150 BCF, in addition 2 deep
anomalies have been identified with the potential to produce
over 200 BCF each. This project is pending lease availability
and financing.
8.) Due to our relationship with Dr. Radovich
we have been invited to participate in the acquisition and
evaluation of approximately 680 square miles of offshore
3-D seismic data. We have entered into negotiations for
this exceptional acquisition opportunity and expect to have
an agreement late 2006
We have an alliance with an industry partner
to acquire and develop approximately 5,000 acres in South
Texas. A third party engineering report has been commissioned
and we are waiting on the results prior to commencing development.
9.) Due to local knowledge, our relationships
with industry partners we were offered an excellent opportunity
in the Frio Miocene in Lavaca County, Texas. We evaluated
well logs and surrounding field data, log analysis indicated
that several sands in the Frio and Miocene should be productive.
We acquired the 3-D seismic data and identified several
seismic anomalies with the same seismic signatures that
is a proven producer within a 10 mile radius. An area was
identified and as part of the acquisition cost of a 654
acre lease we were required to plug for abandonment 4 wells
from a previous operator. Two wells had re-completion opportunities
as both wells sanded up due to improper completion and production
techniques. The No. 8 well has damage which made it cost
prohibitive to attempt a re-completion, the well was plugged
as required.
We were able to re-enter the No. 5 well,
repair formation damage and complete the well with sustained
production sufficient to extract the estimated reserves
of 205,432 MCFG or about 1.1 million net dollars at $7.00
gas from this previously damaged sand.
We drilled the No. 10 well and placed on
line late June 2007. The estimated reserves for the No.
10 well is 2.0 BCF or approximately $10,870,000.00 net @
$7.00 MCFG
The field has three additional in field
drilling locations identified with estimated reserves of
4 BCF.
11.) Dr. Radovich has been working the
Offshore 3-D seismic data and has identified a feature in
shallow waters of the Gulf Of Mexico, initial evaluation
of the feature suggests reserves could approach .5TCF. We
are hopeful to have sufficient financing to attend the Offshore
lease auction in August of 2007. Assuming we are the successful
bidder operations could commence as soon as 2nd or 3rd quarter
2008.
