Odyssey Petroleum Enters Into Agreement for Financing the Recompletion of Twelve Non-Producing Wells
04 November 2009 - 10:00PM
Marketwired
Odyssey Petroleum Corp. (TSX VENTURE: ODE)(FRANKFURT: YQN) (the
"Company" or "ODE") announces that it has entered into an agreement
with Southeastern Oil and Gas, LLC ("Southeastern"), which provides
for an estimated US$4,000,000 expenditures to be made on twelve
mutually selected non producing, closed in wells on ODE's
properties in Mississippi. Under the terms of the contract,
Southeastern has agreed to spend 100% of the funds necessary to
re-enter, evaluate, and if warranted, do the necessary remedial
work to recomplete and equip the wells for production. An estimated
US$250,000 to $400,000 will be required per well in order to drill
out plugs where in place, complete cementing remedial work, run
cased hole logs, perforate, test, and equip the wells with new
pumping units and production tubing.
Upon completion of each well to the tanks, Odyssey will retain a
12.5% overriding royalty interest (free of any cost) until such
time that Southeastern has recouped 100% of its risked capital per
well. After 100% payout, Odyssey may elect, at its own option, to
convert the overriding royalty interest to 33 1/3% working interest
in each well. Additionally, Southeastern will pay Odyssey US$25,000
upon the commencement of each well.
Odyssey welcomes this investment, as recompleting and equipping
these non-producing wells may add substantially to Odyssey's income
without expenditure of its own funds, thus allowing Odyssey to
concentrate its efforts on raising new funds for new developmental
drilling. Odyssey will remain operator of the wells and will help
supervise operations. Southeastern intends to commence operations
within the next 30 days, and commit to completing one well at least
each ninety days.
