January 10, 2010 - Second Well Now Producing Oil

ABOUT THE ASSET

The leases are located in northwest Kentucky. The initial focus area comprises three leases located in a prime oil producing region in the Illinois Basin. Aus-Tex and KOS Energy have identified a geologic fault on the southern edge of the acreage that indicates a large volume of oil is potentially trapped and recoverable. Historical well production also supports this belief.

A significant amount of data has been collected about the oil trap and has been sent to an independent geologist for the development of a reserve report. The McClosky formation is the focal point of the research which, if successful, would support additional drilling of 2,700 foot wells similar to the Russell 1A. Five wells on the property all produced oil prior to being shut-in several years ago.

This held acreage is a small part of a much larger, well established oil field commonly referred to as the “Sebree Field” which contains hundreds of oil and gas wells and includes major transport and delivery infrastructure. The availability of this infrastructure reduces operating costs and drives more reliable and competitive delivery of services.
