Q3 2010 HIGHLIGHTS AND OUTLOOK
Well optimization in Taylor-Ina Field, South Texas:
Optimization of the Company’s recently purchased property continued
in Q3. Optimization of the property will be carried out in multiple
phases. Multiple leases did not have efficient production lifting
equipment to optimize production, and as of this writing the
company has now entered over 50 wellbores and installed proper
lifting equipment. Approximately 30 additional wellbores will
undergo various workovers to maximize their potential. These
optimization efforts have resulted in a cumulative 40% daily
production increase to date for the property.
In-fill drilling at Taylor-Ina:
In addition to the optimization plans outlined above, the Company
has completed drilling operations of 10 new wells. The wells have
been perforated and fracture stimulated and are now producing.
Initial production rates are approximately 16 bbl/day per well (4
net per well to Emerald Bay). Additionally, the discovery of the
Escondidio zone could provide another 50 bbl/day gross (12 net to
EBY) in these newly drilled wells. This is significant in that the
Company could possibly have this Escondido zone productive in close
to 100 existing well bores in Medina County. Phase 2 of the Medina
County capital program will consist of drilling seven development
wells, and one exploratory well to test the Anacacho, Austin Chalk,
Eagle Ford, and Buda formations.
Zavala and Uvalde Counties Texas: The Company leased
approximately 600 acres in Uvalde County to develop Serpentine
Plugs located on the property. A nearby Serpentine Plug field,
drilled in 1976 by Emerald Bay’s consulting engineer has produced
close to 300,000 barrels of oil. Emerald Bay has also executed an
Option and Right of First Refusal Agreement with The Energy Company
of Texas covering an Area of Mutual Interest of approximately
22,000 acres targeting the Eagle Ford formation. This follows-up
the company’s Eagle Ford work dating back to 2007. 40+ active rigs
are now drilling horizontal Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas.
Eagle Ford Shale Prospect: The Company is in various stages
of negotiations as it pursues a land position to explore for Eagle
Ford Shale oil in Frio, Atascosa, Medina and Zavala counties.
Focused Growth For 2010
The Company will continue to seek strategic acquisitions in our
core areas, including U.S. opportunities, to grow the Company, and
add value on significant metrics including cash flow, production
and reserves. To provide near-term and long-term stability the
Company has transitioned its focus to emphasize oil development
opportunities in Texas as outlined above. Additionally, in Alberta,
specific areas of growth for the remainder of 2010 include:
- At
Gilby, Alberta, the Company installed a casing gas
compression system that will allow the well to produce the
condensate liquids more effectively by re-cycling a portion natural
gas down the casing, allowing a more consistent flow of gas and
liquids up the production tubing. Early indications are that the
system trial has made the well a viable producer. The Company will
continue to monitor this well during next 30-60 days but are
encouraged by the early results.
- At
Twining, Alberta, the Company plans to to commingle the
Pekisko and Ostracod zones at 16-18-31-23 W4 during the month of
December.
- At Joffre, Alberta, pipeline operations are completed at Joffre
16-8-39-24 W4 and the well is expected to be perforated and
producing in December.
- At
Lacombe, Alberta, transportation and processing
negotiations are finalized on 2 wells. Pipeline construction is
being planned for December and completion operations are expected
to follow shortly thereafter.
- At
Alliance, Alberta, a fracture-stimulation program is
pending the results of recent perforations and production testing.
Early indications suggest the well is cleaning up as daily oil
production has increased. Similar results have been successful in
the surrounding area and could possibly avoid the need for a costly
stimulation.
As the global recession continues, downward pressure has remained
on natural gas prices throughout the third quarter of 2010. The
Company will continue to focus on managing financial resources to
reduce G&A and operating costs. Cash flow for the remainder of
2010 will benefit from Emerald Bay's risk management program. The
Company will continue to pursue a carefully designed capital
expenditure program, including acquisitions and dispositions, which
would allow the Company to add production, reserves and cash flow
in a cost effective manner.
