West Ranch Field History
Properties Overview
The West Ranch Field is located approximately 25 miles southeast of
Victoria, in Xxxxxxx County, Texas. The field was discovered in 1938 by Mobil
Oil and has produced in excess of 300 BCF gas and 300 MMBO from hundreds of
xxxxx.
The geology of West Ranch consists of typical Gulf Coast sand sequences
with numerous stacked sand pays of both Miocene and Frio age rocks. Over 25 main
producing sands have been identified within the West Ranch production limits
with the Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, 41-A, 98-A and Xxxx xxxxx being the most prolific
producers. These sands are historically high permeability, high porosity sands
capable of producing high fluid rates.
In the early 1980's the previous operator, Xxxx Xxxxxxx, became active in
the region through acquisition of a few old producing well bores. After
reworking geological structure and net sand maps, Xxxx was able to extend the
southwest production limits of the field by the drilling of infield xxxxx
targeting structural highs.
Through a friendly foreclosure process, PNP will be able to obtain clean
title in the properties and is scheduled to take over operations on January 1,
2002.
The property includes 35 xxxxx currently producing 40-60 bopd through 6
active producers on gas lift. After a detailed engineering analysis of the
property, PNP has developed a plan, which focuses on the re-establishing of shut
in xxxxx to active status, add compression, salt water handling and disposal and
will quickly add value to the property while minimizing capital expense.
Planned Development Stages
PHASE 1:
During the first 30 days, PNP will focus on increasing the compression and
ability to use make up gas from the Florida Pipeline system through Reliant
Field Services. Next, turning on four more xxxxx to continue to increase daily
production.
PHASE 2:
The second 30 days will consist of optimization of the field gas lift
system and production facilities while systemically testing 1 well on sub pump.
A total of three new xxxxx will be added as well as construction of larger
flowlines on the Schuech E Lease. The Xxxxxx D-2 and D-9 will be tested in the
Xxxxxxxxx.
PHASE 3:
The third 30 days will consist of continued field optimization, adding
compression up to 8 mmscfpd and increasing the SWD capabilities. We plan on
moving in pumping units on the Xxxx 1 and Schuech B-1 and recompleting the
Schuech X-0 xx xxx Xxxxxxxxx.
-00-
XXXXX 0:
The fourth 30 days will include the re-completing of the Schuech B-5 and
Xxxxxx C-4 xxxxx into the Xxxx Sand. Both will be equipped with larger 3.5"
tubing for high volume lifting capacities.
PHASE 5:
The fifth 30 days will include two plug back re-completions in the Xxxxxxx
R-2 and R-10.
PHASE 6:
The sixth 30 days will include two re-completions in the Xxxxxxx R-1 and
G-1 xxxxx.
PHASE 7:
The seventh 30 days will include the plug back re-completion of the Schuech
B-2 well into the Xxxxxxxxx sand and include 3/5" tubing and a submersible pump.
Capital Expenditures
At this time, it is estimated that the total project capital expenditures
will be approximately $ 451,000 with Phases 4-7 completed out of cashflow.
Marketing
West Ranch Field lies on a major pipeline system consisting of HPL's 20" ,
Valero's 24", and Eastern Gas 24" pipelines to only name a few. Currently, Flint
Hills LP purchases the crude oil at Upper Gulf Coast Index plus $ 3.25 per bbl
and Florida Pipeline is our gas sales interconnect at the spot market.
Terms
PNP is offering working interest in the properties. PNP is offering 5% WI
for $49,995 and 10% for $99,990 in the entire project plus its share of the
current proposed $ 186,500 workover budget. (This budget is estimated through
the third Phase above.)
PNP had developed additional projects for future investment opportunities
including development of EOR and Gas Storage Projects.
