The package offers an attractive opportunity to acquire roughly 8,000 net acres with a substantial inventory of drill-ready highly-economic development locations, extensive technical analysis, 3-D seismic data, in-place infrastructure, and 18 low-decline producing wells with steady cash flow.

Asset Highlights:

  • Stable, Long-life Oily Production Base
    • Low-decline reserve base
      • 87 boe/d net production (90% oil) from 18 producing wells (two Horizontal / 16 Vertical)
      • 100% Operated with up to 100% working interest available
      • 5% annual decline
      • Nine years proved developed producing (PDP) reserves-to-production ratio
    • Strong near-term cash flow
      • More than $1 million next 12 months PDP cash flow
      • $5 million PDP NPV-10 value
      • $23/boe lease operating expense
  • Complemented by High Growth Horizontal Project
    • Contiguous 8,000 net acre position with no expirations until 2020, plus two-year extensions and operator-friendly CDC
    • Delineation of position complete – three Horizontal wells / two Vertical recompletions, all with impressive IP rates
      • Significant upside in completion optimization. Initial Ridglea completions featured only low rate acid stimulations and are refrack candidates
      • Extensive geological and geophysical and technical data provide solid understanding of subsurface environment
    • More than 90 highly-economic horizontal locations in the Chester Limestone formation
      • Low cost $2.3 million drilling and completion per well
      • Top-tier returns (greater than 90% internal rate of returns)
      • Infrastructure in-place and no takeaway constraints (not subject to Mid-Cush differential)
  • Substantial Geo-Technical Support
    • The Shackelford County horizontal development targets the Chester (Mississippian) formation, a tight limestone situated between the Barnett Shale source rock and the Chappel Limestone
      • Horizontal wells drilled to date indicate a large continuous oil accumulation, favorable reservoir deliverability, geologic continuity / repeatability, and significant upside from completion optimization
      • Substantial infrastructure in place, including saltwater disposal well, electrical, and gas gathering tied into Targa
      • Robust geologic, technical and reservoir data, including proprietary 3-D, microseismic and core data

Process Overview:

  • Evaluation materials available via the Virtual Data Room on Nov. 1
  • Proposals due Nov. 30
