FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GeoResources,
Inc. Provides Operations Update
Reports
successful horizontal drilling in Texas and North Dakota
Houston, Texas, May 1, 2008
–
GeoResources, Inc., (Nasdaq:GEOI), today provided an Operations
Update. The Company continues to execute on its capital budget as
well as its asset rationalization and divestiture program.
During the first quarter of 2008,
GeoResources continued its successful development of its Austin Chalk acreage
through its horizontal drilling program in the Giddings Field, principally
located in Grimes County, Texas. Two additional wells have been
completed in the first quarter, resulting in a 100% success rate since
initiation of the program in February 2007. The East Richards #1-H
was completed in March as a single lateral and has averaged 9.7 MMCFPD over the
first 30 days of production. Based on performance, an offsetting
infill location may be drilled, on acreage that is held by production, to
capture additional reserves. The Keisler #1-H, which was completed in Jan 2008,
had cumulative production of almost 900 MMCF in its first 90 days of production
and is currently producing over 11 MMCFPD. The Company is currently
drilling the Jeff Haynie #1-H as a dual lateral. This well is expected to be
completed during May. The rig will then move to the Keisler #2-H
which is a direct offset to the Keisler #1-H.
Current operated gross production from
the properties is approximately 51 MMCFPD. The current rate is 175%
over the 29 MMCFPD that field averaged during January 2007, immediately prior
its acquisition. The increase is a direct result of the drilling program and
other activities initiated by the Company, including, operational workovers,
re-engineering enhancements and pipeline improvements. The Company
has acquired additional acreage and is in the process of permitting more
drilling locations. Based on continued technical review, successful leasing and
acceptable well performance, GeoResources expects to retain the current drilling
rig and crew and spud a new well approximately every 60-75 days for the next
three years. The Company is the operator of the wells and holds a direct 7.2%
working interest. In addition, an affiliated partnership owns an
82.8% working interest. As general partner and partnership manager, the Company
holds a 2% general partner interest which may increase to 35.66%, in accordance
with terms of the partnership agreement.
In south Louisiana, the Company
recently completed two shallow exploration wells in Lafourche
Parish. The Davaine and Parr wells are both located in the Raceland
field and since completion, have averaged 97 BOPD and 450 MCFPD for the two
wells combined. This project will continue with two additional
prospects expected to be drilled in the summer of 2008. These
prospects were generated prior to consummation of the Merger in April 2007, and
the majority of the prospect interests were promoted out to industry partners.
Accordingly, the Company has a 10% working interest and the terms of
participation included a retained over-riding royalty and back-in after
payout.
GeoResources has completed drilling a
shallow multi-lateral horizontal oil well in its Wayne field, located in
Bottineau County, North Dakota. The Oscar Fossum H5 is currently
being completed and has tested oil rates exceeding 200 BOPD. Initial
production is expected in May. Production equipment and facilities
are presently being installed. The Company has a 67% working interest in this
well. The drilling rig was moved to the Ballantyne-State/Steinhaus H2 and is
presently drilling the first of two planned laterals. The Company has a 100%
working interest in the Ballantyne-State/Steinhaus H2, which should be completed
in May and placed on production in the 2
nd
quarter. These are relatively shallow wells with a true vertical depth of
approximately 4,000 feet. Both wells are expected to be similar to
other horizontal wells in the area which have had initial rates of up to 275
BOPD and reserves ranging from 250-400 MBO per well.
The Company and its joint venture
partner, Slawson Exploration, are in the process of completing a horizontal
Bakken well in Mountrail County, North Dakota. The Company has a 5.1%
working interest in the Pathfinder #1-9H, being the first of a multi-well
Slawson operated drilling program in and near the prolific Parshall and Sanish
fields. The Pathfinder well, which encountered hydrocarbons while drilling, is
currently undergoing multi-stage frac operations and is expected to be completed
in May. Drilling has commenced on the Jackal #1-17H and Slawson plans
to keep the rig drilling throughout 2008 and 2009. At present 13 wells are
scheduled and GeoResources working interests range from 5 to 10% in these
wells. The joint venture holds approximately 26,000 net acres in
Mountrail County. GeoResources has participated in eight wells and currently
expects to participate in six additional scheduled wells which are operated by
other independents. Four of the wells are producing and others are drilling or
completing. These participations are financially nominal and thus far average
less than 1%, due to minimal lease ownership in such units. However, these
nominal participations result in valuable engineering and geological data. While
the Company will concentrate on Slawson operated wells, it is evaluating
technical information and attempting to increase its position in this expanding
play.
DIVESTITURES
Since
the beginning of 2008, the Company has sold or has agreements in place to sell
approximately $21.8 million of properties. The Company has previously sold
non-core properties in Michigan, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. Properties
currently under sales contract are located along the gulf coast in Texas and
Louisiana and are expected to be closed in May. The properties average
approximately 400 BOEPD.
COMMENTS
Frank A. Lodzinski, Chief Executive
Officer of GeoResources, said, “Our diversified drilling and development program
is showing positive results as we continue to develop our assets and expand our
acreage and prospect inventory. Asset rationalization is an important and
integral part of our business strategy and, among other important factors,
allows us to focus our attention on assets and acreage with good current cash
flow and net income attributes and considerable upside potential. The
sale of these properties and perhaps others in the portfolio is intended to
streamline operations, further improve operating statistics, focus on operations
and drilling activities with potentially greater upside and reduce debt, thereby
freeing up capital for new deals and our expanding acreage positions. The
capital budget we announced in 2007 is proceeding and we are encouraged by
results. Our budget, as more fully discussed in prior releases and
filings with the SEC, includes multiple projects ranging from water-flood
implementation and expansion, to development drilling, to high impact
exploration drilling. We believe our diversified approach will allow
the Company to continue to grow profitably.”
