KKPT KoKo Petroleum Inc (CE)

KOKO Petroleum Inc. (PINK SHEETS:KKPT) announced today that it has signed a Letter of Intent with JMT Resources, Ltd. Fort Worth, Texas. KOKO will participate in the Development of JMT's polymer flood pilot program on its 4,000 acre leasehold located in Corsicana, Texas. The pilot program consists of implementing a polymer based flood in a specific area of JMT's acreage. The 4,000 acre leasehold, known as the Corsicana Field is the oldest oil field in Texas and was discovered in the 1890's by a company that eventually became Mobil Oil. Due to the production techniques utilized to recover the 20 million barrels of oil (inception to date), which were archaic considering the tools available today, only a small portion of the total oil in place has been recovered. Implementing an alkaline-surfactant-polymer (ASP) flood will cause oil to be "pushed" towards the well bore by creating pressure and fluid movement. In 1988, Tejas Petroleum Engineers prepared an engineering study on the field that estimated the original amount of oil in place in the Corsicana Field was approximately 24,000 barrels of oil per acre. JMT's current acreage block therefore contained 95 million barrels of original oil in place, of which approximately 13% has been produced. Geological engineering studies have shown that an effective ASP flood could yield as much as 30% to 40% of the original oil in place with lifting costs below $7 per barrel. KOKO Petroleum Inc. has committed to fund an ASP pilot program in the Corsicana Field, which will cost $1.5 million USD to engineer and implement and consist of drilling approximately 13 wells and subsequently flooding the identified area with ASP. IF successful, KOKO will have the right to participate in the development of the entire field as an equal partner with JMT. KOKO will be responsible for raising the necessary capital to develop the entire field, which is estimated to cost between $7 to $10 million USD. In addition, the agreement entitles KOKO to conduct 3D seismic on the entire acreage to identify possible deep structures for exploration. Ted Kozub CEO of KOKO Petroleum Inc. stated the following; "KOKO has an opportunity to become involved with veteran oil people in the development of this field that combines technology with vast resources. We have created a structure that mitigates our downside risk while exposing us to tremendous upside potential. This is an important step in KOKO Petroleum's financial development and we feel it will translate to significant shareholder value."
