Allied Energy, Inc. ("Company") (PINKSHEETS: AGGI) today announced
updates relating to its operations.
Drilling Update:
Cherokee County, Texas: During March 2012,
the Company commenced operations to re-enter the Ragsdale #1 well
located on the Ragsdale Estate lease, which totals approximately
186 acres in the East Texas Basin. The drilling plan calls for
re-entry into the original well bore to a depth of approximately
5,230', at which depth a deviated/slant hole will be drilled to an
approximate total measured depth of 10,160'. Based upon logs from
the original well and additional areal well control data, it is
expected that the Pettet D formation will be encountered, with an
anticipated pay-zone thickness of 10'-15', but there is no
assurance that this will occur. The well operator has advised that
total depth should be achieved and logging operations should begin
no later than the end of April.
One or more of the general partnerships sponsored by the Company
holds a 32% working interest in the Ragsdale #1 gas well. The
remaining working interest (68%), which currently is held by the
Company, may be used to satisfy certain obligations of the
Company.
Completion Update:
Leon County, Texas: The Company has
successfully completed the Champion Ranch 1-H oil well drilled in
Leon County, Texas. The well was drilled to a total depth of 12,015
feet, followed by the completion of a 17-stage fracking procedure.
A new pump jack was recently installed and commenced operation on
April 17, 2012.
One or more of the general partnerships sponsored by the Company
holds a majority of the working interest in the Champion Ranch 1-H
oil well. The Company owns a 25% working interest (4.75% net
revenue interest), inclusive of its interests in the general
partnerships.
Wood County, Texas: During November 2011,
the Rock Hill #1 well located on the Quitman Lake lease was drilled
to a total depth of 10,080 feet. During drilling operations,
several changes were made due to final placement of the bottom hole
location. The well was plugged back on two occasions in order to
relocate the bottom hole position. Analysis of the well log
indicated several potentially productive intervals that warranted
testing. Despite the difficulties encountered during drilling
operations, the well was approved for completion in several
intervals within the Rodessa and Travis Peak formations. Oil and
gas production from the well has been disappointing, averaging 4
bopd and 100mcf per day (flared). Based upon these production
numbers, the well is considered non-commercial. Our production
engineers believe that the poor production is due primarily to
complications resulting from a fault that was encountered during
drilling operations.
After further research and well evaluation, our consulting
engineers believe that it will be possible to avoid this fault
during the drilling of subsequent wells on nearby acreage, although
there can be no assurance that this will occur.
Working interest in the Rock Hill #1 prospect is held by one or
more general partnerships sponsored by the Company. The Company
holds a 24% working interest (18% net revenue interest), inclusive
of its interests in the general partnerships.
Production Update:
Leon County, Texas: In April 2011, the
Company, on behalf of certain of its sponsored partnerships,
managed the drilling and completion of the Wallrath #1H, a
horizontal oil well in Leon County, Texas. The well continues to
produce at commercial levels, and in March 2012, produced an
average of 130 barrels of oil per day. The Company holds a 13.38%
working interest (0.66% net revenue interest), inclusive of its
interests in the general partnerships.
Re-Entry Update:
Lavaca County, Texas: During December
2011, the Company purchased working interests in the #1 Konvicka
well located on the Yoakum East Property lease. The well,
originally drilled in August 2010, and testing at over 2,000 MCF
per day, did not sustain acceptable flow rates. In an attempt to
increase production, a fracking operation was scheduled and
completed in January 2012. According to recent reports from the
on-site engineers, due to unknown reasons, the fracking procedure
failed. The operator has completed swabbing operations and has
performed a casing evaluation. A report of the failed fracking
procedure is being finalized by the Company's engineer, and the
operator is currently evaluating the merits of performing a second
frack or a re-completion in an up-hole zone in an attempt to
improve the chances of producing a commercially viable well. It is
not currently known whether it will be possible to bring the well
into production, and, if so, what levels of production may be
expected. The Company holds a 44% working interest, (32.56% net
revenue interest), in the #1 Konvicka well.
Operating Update:
Grimes County, Texas: The Howard 1H and
the Howard 2H gas wells currently are being operated by Allied
Operating Texas, LLC, on behalf of partnerships sponsored by the
Company. The Company owns working interests of 16.4% and 13.38%,
and net revenue interests of .85% and 2.53%, respectively
(inclusive of its interests in the general partnerships), in the
Howard 1H and the Howard 2H wells.
The two wells had been "shut-in" since September 2011 for
approximately 3 1/2 months, by the owner of the pipeline through
which the production gas flows, for unacceptably high levels of CO2
detected in the production gas. In response to the pipeline owner's
action, an amine facility was installed and placed into service
resulting in a return to acceptable levels of CO2.
As of December 2011, the Howard IH and Howard 2H gas wells were
placed back into production. The production of hydrocarbons of the
two wells has returned to flows approximately similar to those
experienced immediately prior to the "shut-in" period and the
operator continues to monitor and fine-tune the amine plant in
order to maximize efficiency and production.
Rogers County, Oklahoma: The Company is
currently evaluating all the general partnerships for which the
Company acts as managing general partner in Rogers County, OK.
These general partnerships sponsored by the Company have
approximately 94 wells in production or under development from
which gas and/or oil are being produced from a variety of
formations.
The Company originally focused on this area in late 2006, with
the primary objective being to develop the coal bed methane
(natural gas) reserves that occur in multiple layers at relatively
shallow depths. Over the last five years, the Company has reduced
its drilling and development programs with respect to the leases in
the area, as the market price of natural gas has steadily declined
to historically low levels.
As a result of these low market prices, many of the wells in
Rogers County that might have been profitable producers at 2007
prices, are now unable to generate sufficient revenue to cover the
lease operating expenses.
The Company is presently conducting a review of production and
expense records to determine the financial condition of the
partnerships and the status of each of the partnerships' wells.
Based upon the findings of the review, we expect to make specific
recommendations either to 1) "shut-in" wells that might benefit by
a future rebound in the market prices of gas, 2) plug and abandon
wells deemed to be non-commercial, or 3) continue to operate wells
that are profitable or may be candidates for enhancement procedures
or re-engineering to improve production.
Corporate Update:
Appointment of CFO: In July 2011, the
Company entered into an agreement with Tatum LLC ("Tatum") to
engage the services of Gene Kamarasy, a partner of Tatum, as
interim Chief Financial Officer. Since that time, Mr. Kamarasy has
been in charge of the accounting, compliance and financial
