Range ramps up
marcellus volumes
drills best Barnett well yet
Range Resources has scaled back
non-core drilling to focus on the
Barnett Shale, the Nora Field and the
Marcellus Shale this year.
Range’s capex budget will total
$700 million, including $540
million to drill 500 (315 net) wells and
grow volumes 10% in 2009.
In the Marcellus Shale play, where
Range added 400,000 acres last year, the
company’s most recent horizontal well

wells this year.
MMCFeD. Of the last 11 Marcellus
wells announced, four had initial rates
of 9.9 MMCFeD or more, with the best
flowing 24.5 MMCFeD.
In addition, two vertical delineation
wells in the northeast part of the play
came online at 6.3 and 2.3 MMCFeD,
the former being the highest reported
24-hour rate from a vertical Marcellus
well to date.
Since last October, Range has con-
nected 13 Marcellus horizontals to its
new gas processing facility. Another 14
wells, including seven horizontals, have
been fraced and are awaiting processing
capacity, which is expected to expand
from 30 to 60 MMCFD in April.

Bakken drilling rigs
Targets 8% volumes growth
Continental Resources plans to par-
ticipate in the drilling of 86 (20.2 net)
wells in North Dakota this year, focusing
on the Bakken and Three Forks/Sanish
formations. Bakken volumes
averaged 10,811 BOEPD in the
last quarter, up 25% from a year
ago and comprising 30% of total com-
pany volumes. Continental raised proved
reserves in the play to 45.7 MMBOE at
year end, up 38% from a year ago.
Continental showing 14,058 BOEPD
out of Red River Units.
Continental has dropped the number
of operated Bakken rigs from a peak of
10 last year to four this year, all of
which are in North Dakota. The com-
pany will not drill any wells on its
Montana acreage in 2009. Continental
completed 33 (8.9 net) wells in North
Dakota last quarter, with average
seven-day production of 546 BOEPD
per well.
In the Montana Bakken, Continental
completed two wells last quarter. The

“Forty-dollar oil is unsustainable,” he
said. “Mark my words – oil is headed
back to $100 in less than 18 months for a
number of reasons, including all the
political risk inherent across the globe.”
Economides also showed a number
of political cartoons from his Energy
Tribune publication to make his points
and add some levity. One of the audi-
ence’s favorite slides was one showing
Putin and Chaves superimposed as 800
lb gorillas “on $100 oil.”
Then he showed another slide of 80

from a tree with a caption that read,
“This is a picture of Putin and Chavez

Endeavour sails from north sea to south Texas
international indy announces new onshore play
interview by kyle Francis
Since its inception in early 2004,
Endeavour international corp. has
transformed from a start-up entity to a
balanced oil and gas com-
pany, becoming one of the
most active independents in
the North Sea, with a strong
production base that gener-
ates significant cash flow.
In late 2008, Endeavour transferred
some of that cash flow to the United
States, launching an onshore exploratory
campaign in South Texas that resulted in
a discovery and first U.S. production.
Endeavour has
two prospects in
South Texas –
Alligator Bayou
and Garwood,
where the com-
pany’s Cochran
#1 well recently
flowed
6.2 MMCFD
and 96 BOPD.
Endeavour plans
William Transier, CEO at least eight
additional explo-
ration wells in the region this year. The
company has also spud a well at Alligator
Bayou that reached 24,000 ft. and is now
flow testing.
Endeavour is headed by CEO William
Transier, who also co-founded the com-
pany in 2004. Previously, Transier served
as EVP and CFO for Ocean Energy and

was part of the management team that
spearheaded the 2003 merger between
Ocean and Devon Energy that created
the largest independent oil and gas
exploration and production company in
the United States.
Recently, PLS caught up with Transier
to discuss Endeavour’s transition to
South Texas and what the company has
planned for 2009.
Pls: why did Endeavour choose
to expand from the north sea into
south Texas?
Endeavour: Basically for two rea-
sons. One, we wanted to balance our
portfolio between our offshore assets
in the North Sea, which require a higher
cost and longer-cycle time to develop,
and onshore properties in the United
States that require much less cost
per unit and offer shorter lead times
to production.
Second, because of the way
Endeavor was formed by backing into a
company with a net operating loss (NOL)
that carried over for tax purposes, we
have significant unrecognized tax benefits
that improve our economics. We could
do a great deal of work tax free with

to us. Plus we already had our office
here in Houston.
Pls: how is Endeavour adapting
its drilling techniques to succeed in
south Texas?
Endeavour: About a year and a half
ago, John Williams joined our company
from ConocoPhillips to run our explo-
ration program. He has a lot of experi-
ence around the world and had worked
for a number of different companies
drilling in South Texas. Our first well,
the Cochran #1, was placed on produc-
tion during flow testing. Now that is
quick turnaround. We are currently flow
testing the Alligator Bayou prospect in

e&p
Matagorda County that is an extremely
deep well that crossed multiple intervals.
Most of the drilling is routine, except
when working in very deep areas with
very high temperatures. That can affect
the performance of the equipment.
What we were finding is that some
foreign companies that have been drilling
deeper in the Gulf of Mexico, particularly
the deep shelf plays, are moving back
onshore because the plays are similar
to those being drilled in the deep shelf
areas of the Gulf of Mexico. In our case,
the wells are comparable to the high
pressure, high temperature wells that
we drill in the United Kingdom sector
of the North Sea. The two areas do
not completely correlate, but there are
similarities between what we are doing
in both places.
Pls: what kind of stake does
Endeavour have in its south Texas
activities, and what are the net
drilling costs to the company?
Endeavour: We have not operated
any wells in Texas to date, although we
have operated wells in both the United
Kingdom and Norway. In South Texas,
we have teamed with very competent
partners, one being El Paso Corp.
We will spend $15 to $30 million in
the U.S. this year to drill between eight
and 10 wells.
Our costs depend on a number of
factors. Our working interest averages
range from 10% to 25%. Well costs differ
dramatically depending on the depth of
the well. The Cochran #1 well only was
drilled to about 17,000 ft. so our net costs
were around $3.0 million. We hold a
20% interest in that well.
The Alligator Bayou well was drilled
to a total depth of almost 25,000 feet. It
is a much deeper well and therefore a
much more expensive well, but we only
hold 10% interest. The total net cost
for that well will be around $4.0 to $5.0
million. We will continue to try to spend
somewhere between a half a million
and $5.0 million for these wells, because
a company our size does not need to
expose itself to $10 or $20 million in a
single project.
Pls: how much capital spending
will Endeavour allocate to u.s. opera-
tions in 2009?
Endeavour: We have approved a $90
million capital budget this year and will
spend upwards of one-third of that budget
in the United States. We also have sev-
eral developments moving forward in the
United Kingdom and one fairly significant
exploration project in Norway.
You can expect us to spend between
$15 and $30 million in the U.S. this year
and probably drill eight to 10 exploration
PAGE 7
and production wells. We have a fairly
firm drilling program in place, it is just a
matter now of working with our partners
and evaluating the results of what is
already drilling. We’ll move as quickly
as we can.
We plan to initially develop the
Cochran discovery by drilling two devel-
Of The E&P Sector
opment wells, and then taking it from
there based on the results. For the
Alligator Bayou prospect, we’ll wait until
we get the final results of our initial well,
the Armour Runnels ST #1, before decid-
ing what to do, but we think we can drill a
number of wells there going forward.
You can assume that in the first year,
we will fund our South Texas drilling with
cash flow from our North Sea operations
because there is no cash flow from the
U.S. yet. Our tax NOL will offset any rev-
enues. It will be basically tax free income
in the U.S. that is small but growing. As
our cash flow in the U.S. grows, we will
use it to move forward.
Pls: will Endeavour look to make
any acquisitions in the united states
this year?
Endeavour: The answer is yes.
There is a real disparity between what oil
and gas properties are selling for today
in the United States versus what they’re
selling for in the North Sea. We are a
company that is clearly stable financially,
and we have cash and are generating
cash flow that gives us the opportunity
to pursue the right transactions.
A successful oil and gas company
is not built by drilling a few individual
wells but by creating a niche position or
play. We continue to look to add to our
portfolio in a significant way through
either business development or via
merger and acquisition opportunities just
as we have done in the North Sea. This
business requires scope and scale, and
you can’t do it fast enough through
organic growth.
We will be opportunistic and do what
makes sense for us. We look for M&A
activity that allows us to gain extra capital
and a property position in which we can
put that cash and capital to work to
expand more quickly. We’re not neces-
sarily confining ourselves to South Texas.
With that said, we recognize that a small
A&D company is not in a position to pio-
neer new technical developments to a
particular play or area. That requires a
bigger company than we are now. We
seek opportunities and properties that
complement our assets, expertise and
balance sheet. That’s how we are build-
ing value.

Whiting Petroleum’s continuing activity in its core Bakken (Sanish and Parshall) play
and CO2 floods at Postle (Oklahoma) and North Ward Estes (Texas) drove Q4 2008 vol-
umes to a company record 55,540 BOEPD, up 10% from the third quarter.
Last quarter net Bakken production rose 43% sequentially to 15,300
BOEPD, while production from the two CO2 projects increased 8.2% to
13,310 BOEPD. Bakken volumes are split evenly between Whiting’s operated
Sanish field and the EOG-operated Parshall field.
At Sanish, Whiting recently completed the Niemitalo 11-35H at 3,547 BOEPD and its
first Three Forks horizontal, the Braaflat 21-11TFH, at 1,005 BOEPD. Whiting intends
to drill an additional 40 operated Bakken wells (70% WI) at Sanish in 2009.
Whiting’s proved reserves fell from 250.9 MMBOE to 239.1 MMBOE during 2008.
New reserves of 23.6 MMBOE in the Bakken and 5.7 MMBOE at the CO2 floods were
offset by negative price revisions of 39 MMBOE.
Since last fall, Whiting has lowered its operated rig count from 18 drilling rigs and 51
workover rigs down to four drilling rigs and 25 workover rigs. Whiting’s E&D capex
budget is $474 million this year, all funded with cash flow.
marathon’s proved reserves fell last year
Marathon Oil’s proved reserves fell in 2008 to 1,195 MMBOE (76% proved devel-
oped), compared to 1,225 MMBOE at y/e 2007. Marathon added reserves of 110 MMBOE
through the drill bit, offset by asset sales of 3.0 MMBOE and production of
137 MMBOE. Marathon’s total risked resource base is now 6.5 BBOE.
Since 2006, Marathon has added proved reserves of 344 MMBOE, but has
also sold 48 MMBOE and produced 396 MMBOE, resulting in a reserve replacement of
87%. This total excludes 388 MMB of bitumen reserves in the Canadian oil sands busi-
ness acquired in 2007.
BP seeks offshore farm-ins
BP is making some of its operated offshore Gulf of Mexico blocks available for farm-
ins before it begins drilling them this year. On the shelf, the British super major said it
hoped to farm out the shallow rights and to retain its deep gas rights. BP is also
gauging interest in its deepwater rights.
Specific leases available for farm-in on the shelf include High Island, West
and East Cameron, Vermilion, South Marsh Island, Eugene Island, Ship Shoal, South
Timbalier, Grand Isle, and West Delta areas. Most tracts do not expire until at least 2010.
will allocate more funds to midstream
Williams Cos. has concluded its strategic review and opted not to split
its upstream and midstream segments into two separate businesses due eco-
nomic uncertainty. But the company will increase midstream spending 10%
from $600 million in 2008, with pipeline outlays jumping
by as much as 60%. Upstream spending, however, will
decrease 60% from $2.5 billion in 2008.
Williams also lowered its 2009 capex from as much as $3.1 billion, down
to ~$2.3 billion, significantly lower than $3.59 billion in 2008. Cash flow
is expected to decline from $3.36 billion last year to as little as $1.9 billion
this year. Still, Williams has $1.35 billion of cash on hand and $2.34 billion
of available credit capacity with which to fund its capex.
The company’s unaudited net income was ~$1.42 billion last year, up
from $990 million in 2007. Williams’ E&P business reported profit of $1.26
billion for 2008, up 67% from 2007, despite posting a net loss of $27 mil-
lion in the fourth quarter.
Drilling in the Piceance, Powder River and Fort Worth basins grew
domestic volumes 20% to 1,144 MMCFeD in 2008, with Piceance volumes
up 20% to 650 MMCFeD and Powder River Basin up 34% to 228
MMCFeD. Williams is reducing its Piceance rig count to 10 this year. For
more news on Williams, see our Market Alert dated March 02, 2009.
Exxon’s resource base grows to 72 BBoE
Exxon Mobil Corp. added 1.5 BBOE of proved reserves in 2008, replac-
ing 103% of production, and taking its year end tally to 22.8 BBOE (62%
proved developed). Excluding asset sales, reserves
additions replaced 110% of production. Exxon has
now replaced an average of 110% of production over the last 10 years.
Reserve additions in 2008 reflect both new developments and exten-
sions of existing fields. Most of the additions, or 1.1 BBOE, came from
the Kearl Phase 1 oil sands project in Canada.
Including 2P reserves and discovered resources that are expected to be
recovered, ExxonMobil added net 300 MMBOE to its “resource base” in
2008, taking the total to 72.4 BBOE. In addition to Canada, key addi-
tions came from onshore U.S., the deepwater GOM and West Africa.

us upstream deal value slides 22%
appeared in marketalert Vol. 20 issue 5, mar 24, 2009
U.S. M&A upstream transaction value declined to $38.1 billion from
$48.7 billion in 2007, according to the 2009 Global Upstream M&A Review
prepared by IHS Herold and Harrison Lovegrove & Co. To gain additional
insight on these results and what may be on the horizon for upstream trans-
actions, PLS recently caught up with Tom Biracree, SVP and Senior
Financial Editor, with IHS Herold. He shared his thoughts on the future of
corporate consolidation; how certain deals managed to close late last year;
and what it will take to make the pace of upstream M&A healthy again.
march sale results mirror the times; values off
by two-thirds
appeared in Prospectcentre Vol. 20 issue 9, mar 20, 2009
The Minerals Management Service’s Central Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale
garnered $703 million in high bids, and $933.6 million in total bids. The sale
was held on March 17 in New Orleans, and saw the highest bid submitted by
Shell at $65.6 million for Mississippi Canyon Block 721, a deepwater tract.
Total high bids were expected to and indeed did fall from those in the 2007
and 2008 sales, which netted $2.9 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively.
onshore, Brigham sets lower capex, lays down rigs
appeared in Prospectcentre Vol. 20 issue 9, mar 20, 2009
Brigham Exploration has budgeted $37.1 million for the first half of this
year to complete several of its Bakken wells drilled in the Williston Basin late
last year. The company will also hook up recent Southern
Louisiana wells to production, but will only drill and complete one
well, which will be along the Gulf Coast. First quarter production is expected
to average between 30 and 33 MMCFeD.
moody’s mood is up on williams
appeared in marketalert Vol. 20 issue 3, mar 02, 2009
Analysts may be disappointed, but Moody’s Investors Service was glad to
see the Williams Family stay together, revising its outlook to “stable” from
“negative.” The company is one of many that have decided breaking up is
hard to do during turbulent economic times. It’s a major decision to disman-
tle a successful “three-legged stool” under normal market conditions; and
almost impossible to do when commodity prices and the credit crunch have
energy segments-namely E&P segments-under pressure.
Exxon maintains spending plans despite
weak environment
appeared in Prospectcentre Vol. 20 issue 8 mar 11, 2009
Unlike most of its peers, ExxonMobil is maintaining its plans to spend
between $25 billion and $30 billion per year for the next five years, the com-
pany confirmed at its annual analyst meeting. Although
CEO Rex Tillerson admitted that prices could be soft
for years to come or at least until demand recovers – the major said it would
conduct “business as usual” and continue its long-term focus.
ORRI devon cuts capex 50%, but still borrows to spend
appeared in marketalert, Vol. 20 issue 2 Feb 17, 2009
In a classic “good news, bad news” announcement, Devon Energy’s “year
end report” took the market by surprise. Although 2008 was one of the best
in Devon’s history, ceiling test writedowns of $7.1 billion drove
the bottom line to a $6.8 billion loss. Under these circumstances,
some management teams might blink, but Devon’s ignored the adjustment
and moved on, announcing a bold $4.1 billion capex for 2009, including a
billion dollars of borrowing to get there. Unfortunately, the $4.1 billion of
capex won't buy them growth, just flat production.
Jockeying for mindshare
appeared in Prospectcentre, Vol. 20 issue 10 mar 26, 2009
There were new semantics this year as operators jockeyed for mindshare,
much the way crabs prevent each other from getting out of the same bucket.
EOG Resources has always been good for a concept du jour. After all,
it was just three years ago CEO Mark Papa teased Howard Weil atten-
dees with news of its Stealth Play, then refused to say where, hinting
that investors should tune in during Q2 earnings for the Big Reveal. Only the
Big Reveal never came. Also, speaking of crabs crawling out of a bucket,
operators had discomforting ways of differentiating their companies by
implicitly criticizing peers.
letter from new orleans
appeared in Prospectcentre, Vol. 20 issue 10 mar 26, 2009
It’s an annual financial rite of spring. For 37 years now, the investor class
has converged on New Orleans post spring break for the Howard Weil
Energy Conference, the Grand Dame of energy investor gatherings. Maybe
it's New Orleans, maybe it's spring, maybe it's just the end of the first quar-
ter, but whatever It is, Howard Weil has been a market mover for energy equi-
ties in more years than not. It's called the Howard Weil Effect. We'll see if
there is any old time magic this year. Despite the dismal news in the energy
business, attendance reached a record high.
suncor and Petrocan to merge in $19 billion deal
appeared in marketalert, Vol. 20 issue 5 mar 24, 2009
Suncor Energy and Petro-Canada shook up the oil patch with a C$19.6 bil-
lion merger announcement that would create the biggest energy company in
Canada. The deal, structured as a share exchange, would leave Suncor holding
60% of the merged company, with PetroCan holding 40%. The companies said
the deal represents a 25% premium to the 30-day average of PCZ shares. This
mega-deal is the largest deal in the global oil and gas industry since 2006.

cnX books Eastern
shale reserves
Pittsburgh-based CNX Gas has built
a sizeable shale position in the eastern
U.S., holding a total of 630,000 net acres
in the Marcellus, Chattanooga
and Huron Shales. Altogether
these positions contain net
unrisked resource potential of 4.7-12.6
TCF. Combined with 3P reserves the
company reports total recoverable
reserves (and resources) of 7.4-15.3 TCF.
Last year, CNX booked initial proved
reserves from its Chattanooga and
Marcellus Shale plays. The company
spent $291 million on drilling last year,
adding 182.7 BCF proved from exten-
sions and discoveries, partially offset by
76.6 BCF of production, yielding a
238% reserve replacement rate.
CNX is targeting volumes of 85 BCF
for 2009, with contributions from its
CBM plays in Virginia, Mountaineer,
Nittany, Marcellus and Chattanooga
shale plays. Total proved reserves at year
end were 1,422 BCF (55% proved devel-
oped) at y/e 2008, up 6% from year-end
2007. CNX also reported an additional
1,323 BCF in probable and possible
reserves, up 41% from a year ago.
Venoco sees
production falling
Venoco lowered its 2009 capex
budget to $150 million, with $74 million
slated for the Sacramento Basin, $35
million for southern California,
and $5.0 million for Texas.
Annual volumes are expected to
fall to 19,000 BOEPD from 21,674
BOEPD in 2008.
Last year’s volumes were up 11%
from 2007, from Sacramento (9,700
BOEPD), Southern California (8,990
BOEPD) and Texas (4,103 BOEPD).
Proved reserves totaled 97.5 MMBOE at
year end. Net of production in 2008,
Venoco added 5.7 MMBOE proved in
Southern California (West Montalvo
field) and 7.8 MMBOE in the
Sacramento Basin. Reserves declined by
8.0 MMBOE, including 5.8 MMBOE
from the $200 million sale of the
Hastings field to Denbury. Venoco is
reducing its Sacramento activity from
five rigs in 2008 to three in 2009.
TXco considers
sale or merger
TXCO Resources has begun a
strategic alternatives review, which may
include a merger or sale. Goldman
Sachs is their financial
advisor. TXCO’s core
plays include the Maverick Basin in SW
Texas and the Forth Trinidad field in
East Texas.
Charro Energy, TXCO’s heavy oil
subsidiary, has temporarily shut-in its
SAGD pilot in the San Miguel oil sands.
The nearby fracture-assisted steamflood
technology pilot suspended operations
last December.
Last year, TXCO’s net sales volumes
rose 17.6% to 9.38 BCFe (26
MMCFeD). For 2008, the Glen Rose
Porosity had sales of 2,218 BOPD – up
15% from 2007. TXCO spudded 96
wells last year, with 30 in the Glen Rose
Porosity. TXCO currently has two rigs
targeting the Georgetown and one to the
Pearsall formations on its core Maverick
Basin acreage. Fracing projects are
under way on one Eagle Ford well and
one Pearsall well (both 25% WI).
Patterson sees rig
count free fall
Patterson-UTI Energy rig count
declined from 276 rigs in Q3 to 132 rigs
in February, with 120 in the U.S. and 12
in Canada. Patterson was able to report
an average operating margin of $9,000
per rig last quarter, $510 higher than Q3.
Last year, Patterson activated 16 new
Apex® rigs with an average 1,375hp
and an average drilling depth capacity of
18,750 ft. During Q4, the company
retired 22 rigs averaging less than 800hp
with average depth ratings under 12,000
ft. For Patterson’s tradeoff, some of their
rigs will be drilling unconventional
and/or shale wells this year.
At year-end 2008, the company had
344 marketed drilling rigs with multi-
year contracts for the construction of 22
new advanced technology APEX® rigs.
Three of these rigs were activated in
2009, bringing Patterson’s total mar-
keted fleet to 347.
E&P Briefs
• Blast Energy services applied
its lateral fluid jetting services to two
Austin Chalk wells drilled by Reliance
Oil and Gas in South Texas. The wells
are each producing 33 BOPD and pro-
duction continues to increase. At a
depth of 2,700 ft., the Blast Rig #1
jetted a total of 20 laterals up to 90 ft.
in length at three separate depths.
The laterals were cut at 1.5 feet per
minute using water, acid and other
additives at 3,000 psi. Reliance will
now drill a seven-well project and has
received funding for an additional 18
wells in the area.
• Blaze Energy has participated
in over 100 wells in the Fayetteville
Shale play, with over 70 of those wells
on production by the end of 2008.
• Brinx Resources participated
in drilling Ranken Energy's Selman
#1-21, which reached 6842 ft. TD
and encountered pay in the Gibson
Sand and the Viola Formation. The
Oklahoma drilling program is com-
posed of four 3-D seismically defined
prospects with one exploratory well
in three of the prospects and two in
the fourth prospect.
• Bronco drilling’s utilization for
its drilling fleet was 55% in February,
down from 76% in January and 83%
for the fourth quarter. Bronco
had an average of 45 mar-
keted drilling rigs in February
compared to 45 in the previous month
and 43 for the fourth quarter. The aver-
age dayrate on operating drilling rigs as
of February 28, 2009, was $17,705
compared to $18,225 as of January 31,
2009, and $18,933 for the fourth quar-
ter of 2008.
• cano Petroleum reported sales
volumes of 1,203 BOEPD in Q4 2008,
up 10.6% from a year ago, but down
2.6% sequentially. Cano
now plans to spend $38.5
million in 2009 in order to
keep Q4 volumes flat, with
activity mainly at its Panhandle ($13
million) and Cato waterflood ($20.5
million) projects. Production at Cato
(New Mexico Permian) ramped up to
over 300 BOEPD in January.
• carrizo oil & gas reported
record year-end proved reserves of
502.6 BCFe, up 45% from y/e 2007.
Carrizo replaced 705% of
production, which rose 46%
to 70 MMCFeD last year and topped
78 MMCFeD in the fourth quarter.
Barnett Shale reserves rose 57% to
432.1 BCFe. Carrizo has 33.8 net
horizontal wells in the Barnett already
drilled but awaiting completion or
pipeline connection.
• constellation Energy Partners
produced 17.3 BCFe (~47 MMCFeD)
in 2008, completing 115 net wells and
recompleting 43 more in the
Cherokee Basin. An additional
39 net wells and recomple-
tions were in progress at year end.
Proved reserves were 232.4 BCFe at
year end, down by 70 BCFe from 2007,
due mainly to pricing revisions. Con-
stellation plans to drill as 75 wells this
year and keep annual volumes flat.
• contango oil & gas is pro-
ducing 228 (85 net) MMCFD from all
operations, with its Mary Rose #1 well
shut-in and undergoing a workover.
Contango plans to spud its Eugene
Island 56 prospect, High Country West,
in the Gulf of Mexico this quarter.
• dejour Enterprises and
Brownstone Explorations’ 2,000
acre Gibson Gulch prospect in Col-
orado is estimated to hold between
104 and 392 BCFe of prospective
resources. In addition, Dejour and
Brownstone signed a JV with Laramie
Energy II LLC, which has the right to
earn 55% on the 22,000 gross-acre
Rangely prospect by completing at
least four productive wells. Drilling is
expected in the third quarter.

E&P Briefs OKLAHOMA OKLAHOMA OKLAHOMA CALIFORNIA

• heartland Energy develop-
ment corp. purchased 100% WI in the
Cerda #1 Wilcox gas well in Jim Hogg
Co., Texas. Heartland is shooting 3D
seismic on its 860-acre lease, with an
option to lease an additional 800 acres.
Heartland also has WI in the Margo
Heirs Field in Starr Co., Texas. The
company has participated in drilling
Margo Heirs wells 1-4 (10 MMCFeD
combined), and plans to participate in
the drilling of two more Vicksburg wells
during the first half of 2009.
• idgloBal corp. is participat-
ing in the San Simon project, an 11,000
ft. re-entry gas well in Lea Co., New
Mexico. San Simon is a proposed re-
entry of a 2004 Morrow wildcat drilled
by EOG Resources. Production tests
were performed in the Morrow and
the Wolfcamp prior to abandonment,
but the Atoka Lime between 11,950
and 12,000 feet was not tested. IDG
acquired 56% WI in the 320-acre
project for $260,000 and 100% of the
re-entry costs ($295,000).
• mariner Energy increased
year-over-year net production 18% to
118.4 BCFe (325 MMCFeD). Mariner
posted capital expenditures
of $1.4 billion last year,
increasing proved reserves
17% to a record 973.9 BCFe (70%
proved developed) at year end and
replacing 217% of reserves. Mariner
was successful in 20 of its 25 offshore
wells drilled in 2008. Mariner also has
four rigs drilling in the Permian Basin,
where it drilled 122 wells last year.
• ngas Resources reported
57 BCFe in proved reserves at y/e
2008, up 20% over 2007. Including
PUD locations, however,
proved reserves fell from
105 BCFe to 78 BCFe in the same
period. Production increased 13% to
3.7 BCFe (11 MMCFeD) last year.
During 2008, NGAS began horizontal
drilling in its Leatherwood field
(Appalachia), drilling 20 such wells
(56% WI) with 3,500-ft. laterals in the
Devonian shale. Initial 30-day produc-
tion rates averaged 309 MCFD.
• northern Explorations and an
operator are shooting seismic in two
Central Valley, California, gas projects.
Norex will have 50% WI in the initial
two wells. The first gas well targets
existing seismic data that indicates a
50 foot pay zone at 8,000 ft. The com-
pany is also negotiating a majority
working interest in two gas projects in
California which show the potential to
contain up to 50 BCF.
• occidental Petroleum reported
2.98 BBOE of proved reserves at year-
end 2008 (74% proved developed), up
from 2.87 BBOE at the end of
2007. Oxy added 463 MMBOE
last year, but then lost 127 MMBOE
in negative price revisions. Occidental
spent $4.4 billion on exploration and
development activities in 2008 and
another $3.5 billion on property acquisi-
tions in the Rockies and Permian Basin.

apache targets geauxpher production by may
Apache plans to spend $3.5 to $4.0 billion on exploration and development
this year targeting annual production growth of 6% to 14%. In the Gulf of
Mexico, the Geauxpher field, a large gas discovery at Garden Banks 462, is pro-
jected to commence production in May at a net rate of 50 MMCFD.
In Canada’s Horn River Basin, Apache plans to continue to
develop the optimum strategy for its Ootla Shale well com-
pletions in 2009. The company completed seven horizontal
Ootla wells last year, the last of which had a 10-stage frac and gross estimated
reserves of 7.4 BCF.
In Australia, the 20,000 BPD Van Gogh development remains on schedule
with first production expected in the second quarter. The Pyrenees development
also remains on track for a Q1 2010 start-up for an additional 20,000 BPD.
Earlier this year Apache reported
three new field discoveries in west- Apache exited 2008 with a low
ern Egypt that tested a total of 80 debt- to-cap of 23% and has $2.3 billion
MMCFD and 5,909 BOPD – all in available credit facilities.
from Jurassic formations. In all,
Apache averaged 74,705 BOPD and 290 MMCFD in Egypt last year, but plans
to drop some of its 42 rigs running in the area this year.
Apache’s volumes declined 5% in 2008 to 534,000 BOEPD as a result of the
June 3 pipeline explosion and fire at Apache's Varanus Island hub offshore west-
ern Australia as well as the Gulf Coast hurricanes. Had those events not occurred,
2008 production would have increased by 2.0%.
Apache replaced 122% of production last year, including 118% through the
drill bit. But proved reserves declined 2% in 2008 to 2.4 BBOE as a result of
lower commodity prices. Nearly all of the reserve revisions were in North
American assets.
For 2008, Apache reported net income of $706 million despite a $3.6-billion
write down on lower commodity prices. Excluding the write-down and certain
other after-tax items net income was $3.8 billion. Apache exited 2008 with a low
debt- to-cap of 23% and has $2.3 billion in available credit facilities.
aTP targets Telemark completion
ATP Oil & Gas hopes to have its deepwater Telemark Hub online by year
end. In the northern portion of the hub (Mississippi Canyon), ATP is nearing
completion on the 25,000-BOPD and 60-MMCFD ATP Titan floating platform.
ATP has already spud three wells in the area that are drilling
towards ~17,000 ft. TD. In the southern area of Telemark,
ATP plans to drill a subsea well on Atwater Valley Block 63
and connect it back to ATP Titan.
On the GOM Shelf, ATP has placed two wells on production at High Island A-
589. The wells were completed in the 9,800-ft. and 10,000-ft. sands. Metrics
were not released. The company is
also targeting first production from The ATP Titan platform will process
three wells at South Marsh Island 25,000 BOPD and 60 MMCFD.
190 in the third quarter.
This January, the Discovery Pipeline was restored to service, enabling ATP to
resume production at its Gomez Hub (100% WI, operator) in Mississippi Canyon
711. The Mississippi Canyon 711 #8ST2 well is now being completed.
In February, ATP received $150 million in financing from GE Energy
Financial Services in order to own and operate a floating production unit in the
deepwater Gulf of Mexico. GE gained a 49% limited partnership stake, marking
its first investment in a floating production facility. ATP remains operator and
continues to hold 100% WI in the deepwater Gomez field.
The facility will sit 80 miles south of New Orleans. Known as the ATP
Innovator, it will process up to 20,000 BOPD and 100 MMCFD. The partnership
plans to process additional reserves from a third party producer by 2010.
ATP purchased and converted the unit from a drilling semi-submersible rig
into a floating production facility in 2005.
ATP estimates it added about 100 BCFe in proved reserves, while producing
57 BCFe (156 MMCFeD) last year and selling 68.5 BCFe of reserves in-place
last year. This year, the company has set a capex budget of $300 to $500 million.

E&P Briefs
• Petro Resources is participat-
ing in Goodrich Petroleum’s Surprise
prospect in Nacogdoches Co., Texas.
The first four wells were suc-
cessful with a fifth drilling
ahead. The Hill #1 (10% WI),
a Bossier Sand well, posted initial
production of 9.4 MMCFD and the
Tucker #1 (5% WI), a Bossier Shale
well, initially produced 600 MCFD.
The Lilly #1 (10% WI) and Grigsby
#1 (10% WI) were completed in the
Travis Peak with IPRs of 3.0 MMCFD
and 2.9 MMCFD, respectively.
• Precision Petroleum purchased
interests in four wells in Oklahoma,
three in Garvin County and one in
Pottawatomie Co. Combined produc-
tion is 40 BOEPD. Elsewhere, Preci-
sion is participating in a 10-well drilling
program in the Powder River Basin
in Montana.
• Probe Resources ramped up
volumes on its South Timbalier 214 A-6
Sidetrack #1 well in the Gulf of Mexico
to 35 MMCFD and 450 BPD of conden-
sate with a flowing tubing pressure of
8,600 psi. Probe holds 100% WI and a
70% NRI in the well.
• Ram Energy Resources sur-
passed its production guidance of
2.55 MMBOE (~7,000 BOEPD) last
year. RAM has set a capex of
$40-45 million in 2009 to keep
volumes flat. RAM plans to drill
45 wells in Burkburnett, Texas, and to
undertake a number of recompletions
in Pontotoc Co., Oklahoma. RAM also
has 27 PUD locations, 13 probable
locations and 31 possible locations in
South Texas for the Vicksburg and
Wilcox formations.
• Royale Energy encountered gas
with its newest discovery, Lonestar
East, in Texas. The well was drilled to
6,400 ft. TD and encountered 24 ft. of
pay in the Forbes formation. Only the
lower 10 ft. was perforated, flowing at
an initial test rate of 1.45 MMCFD.
While testing, Royal encountered three
shallower zones that may have future
gas potential.
• samson oil & gas is reworking
the Leonard #1-23H (10% WI) in North
Dakota’s Williston Basin. Prior to the
work over, the well was free flowing at
around 300 BOPD.
• saxon oil reported proved
reserves at y/e 2008 of 482,943 BO
and 3.0 MMCF, a 12.5% in oil reserves
and a 36.7% increase in
gas reserves from a year
ago. Estimated probable reserves
(unrisked) increased 38% from 43,247
barrels to 69,702 barrels, while proba-
ble gas reserves increased 40% from
274 MCF to 459 MCF.
• south Texas oil estimates its
total proved reserves were 5.1 MMBOE
(12% developed) at y/e 2008, up from
581,000 BO a year ago. The company
has set a 2009 capex of $10 million.
Most reserves are in the Giddings and
Bastrop fields. Drilling focuses primarily
on the Austin Chalk, Georgetown and
Buda formations, where the company
has an inventory of 27 laterals which
range from 500 to 5,000 feet.
• w&T offshore posted sales
volumes of 56 BCF and 7.0 MMBO
last year on capital expenditures of
$774.9 million, which is double
what it spent in 2007. W&T
completed 18 of 24 exploration
wells last year, 16 on the shelf and
five on the deep shelf. W&T began
the year with 639 MMCFe in proved
reserves and ended it 29% lower
with 491 MMCFe. This year, W&T has
set a capex budget of $220 to $270
million, targeting volumes of 94 BCFe
(~260 MMCFeD).
