CREEnergy Regional Farmin Details
Cougar Energy, Inc. ("Cougar"), has negotiated a standard farmin agreement with a private company for approximately 28 gross sections (17,920 acres) of mineral rights located northwest of Red Earth Creek. This transaction is a strategic step for Cougar to expand the oil and gas development related to the CREEnergy project and the benefit derived from the existing infrastructure.
- The mineral rights within the farmin agreement are currently held under several Alberta Crown 4-year initial term P&NG licenses expiring in September 2010.
- The rights can be grouped and validated with a drilling program and subsequently continued under a 5 year intermediate term license.
- The farmin agreement entitles Cougar to earn 100% of the farmor's working interest in exchange for performance of the required drilling program required to continue the mineral rights. The farmor will retain a small royalty position in the validated lands.
- The extent of the mineral rights continued by the drilling program will depend on the depth of the wells drilled. For example, a single well drilled to an approximate depth of 1,650 meters (5,413 feet) can validate up to 10 sections of mineral rights.
- The farmin lands are primarily prospective for natural gas reservoirs.
- The wells would have a maximum depth of approximately 1,700 meters (5,577 feet) and potentially target the Gilwood, Slave Point, Wabamun, Gething, and Bluesky formations.
- There is existing regional natural gas infrastructure and the target formations should contain sweet natural gas, which would reduce production and processing charges.
- A Gilwood well within approximately 3.2 kilometers (2 miles) of the farmin lands has produced over 9 billion cubic feet of natural gas.
- Cougar is presently mapping out the structure and reviewing seismic to determine other possible drilling locations.
- Additional information including maps will be posted as it becomes available.
