GeoResources, Inc. Provides Operations Update
13 Outubro 2009 - 6:25PM
Business Wire
GeoResources, Inc., (NASDAQ: GEOI), today provided an operations
update.
BAKKEN SHALEThe
Company holds a proportionate 10% - 18% working interest in
approximately 110,000 net acres in the Bakken Shale trend of the
Williston Basin. Approximately 63,000 acres are located in
Mountrail County, with the remainder located in adjacent counties.
To date, the Company has realized a 100% success rate with 30
successful wells drilled by the joint venture operator. In
addition, the Company owns minor working interests in more than 125
wells within the Bakken/Three Forks play. These wells have provided
invaluable information related to the development economics,
geology and drilling and completion procedures with multiple
operators at different locations within the basin. Our joint
venture continues to acquire acreage in this expanding play and is
currently running three rigs and may occasionally run a fourth
drilling rig.
The following table provides an overview of our activities for
2009. The Company reports joint venture and other wells where its
interests are meaningful, but generally does not report numerous
minor interest wells. With the significant acreage acquisition in
May 2009 and subsequent acreage additions, the pace of activity has
increased and we expect to participate in more than 60 joint
venture wells over the next 18 months, exclusive of the
participation in numerous minor interest wells.

(1) Meerkat wells were drilled on a single
557 acre pooled unit.(2) Goldeneye #2-2H is an increased density
well being the second well on a 640 acre unit.
Completed well costs, including surface equipment and production
facilities for single lateral wells drilled on 640 acre units range
from approximately $3.0 to $3.5 million. The economics of drilling
on 640 spacing units are attractive and allows us to “prove-up” and
place acreage on production under an expedited schedule. Further,
where we drill two or more wells off a single pad, additional
vertical well bores may allow for further cost-effective
development from in-fill locations or deeper horizontal drilling.
However, we are scheduling 1,280 acre (and some larger) spacing
units and have numerous locations which may result in or require
such larger spacing units.
AUSTIN CHALKThe
Company expects to spud its next well within thirty days. The next
two or three locations will be on the north-west side of our
acreage block where we expect the reserves to be more “oily” and
result in about 50% oil and liquids. To date, the Company has
drilled 13 Austin Chalk wells and achieved a 100% success rate. Our
present inventory includes 15 proved undeveloped and probable
locations within the Giddings Field. At present, we expect to
sequentially drill all locations with a single drilling rig. Our
working interest varies from 50% to 53%.
Comments
Frank A. Lodzinski, Chief Executive Officer of GeoResources,
said, “Our drilling programs continue to deliver positive results.
The Bakken Shale development play has recently been expanded and
provides a continuous opportunity to add reserves and production.
We have interests in approximately 110,000 acres, with over 63,000
acres located in the heart of the play in Mountrail County. After a
60 day suspension of drilling, we are anxious to spud our next
Austin Chalk well. This development program has delivered
production and reserve growth. We have a current development
inventory of at least 15 locations where we will have in excess of
a 50% working interest. Our acreage position exceeds 68,000 acres,
a majority of which is held by production and is prospective for
the shallow Yegua and for the Eagle Ford Shale, Buda and Georgetown
formations. We continue to seek attractive acreage additions in
both of these successful core areas. Our strong cash flows,
earnings, and liquidity provide adequate funding for our capital
programs.”
