PR Newswire (US)
HOUSTON, March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- KCS Energy, Inc.
(NYSE:KCS) today announced that it has entered into a purchase and
sale agreement to acquire a property in its core area of operations
in north Louisiana. The acquisition will be effective as of April
1, 2006. This purchase from an undisclosed seller for $26.2 million
involves approximately 10,300 gross acres located in Lincoln
Parish, Louisiana. Proved reserves are internally estimated to be
11.2 Bcfe, of which approximately 50% are proved developed. Closing
is expected to occur on or about April 21, 2006. William N. Hahne,
President and Chief Operating Officer said, "This acquisition is
another example of our search for properties with multiple drilling
locations that are adjacent to areas we are developing. Over the
last several years, we have been active in drilling and acquiring
acreage in the Elm Grove and Terryville fields in north Louisiana.
This acreage fills out our leasehold in a core area where last year
we drilled seven wells and have 31 wells and a 3D seismic survey
planned for 2006. KCS has now accumulated a substantial acreage
position in this area which will allow us to drill both infill and
extensional wells." This press release contains forward-looking
statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among
the important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements
are delays and difficulties in developing properties, delays due to
the limited availability of drilling equipment and personnel,
fluctuation in oil and gas prices, general economic conditions and
the risk factors detailed from time to time in the Company's
periodic reports and registration statements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. KCS is an independent energy
company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and
production of natural gas and crude oil with operations in the
Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast regions. For more information on KCS
