Figure 1. Anadarko Basin Plays
This significant expansion of leasing activity has already delivered success with further acquisitions in the up-dip liquids rich “core areas” along the margin of the Anadarko Basin. The Company has secured an additional ~200 Working Interest acres, taking total holdings in the broader STACK and SCOOP Play region to in excess of 700 acres. The Company has now acquired an interest in ~27 development units (640 or 1,280 acre) that could support upwards of 170 wells in full-field development (with an average Working Interest per well of ~3%).
There are currently in excess of 100 (horizontal) rigs operating across the Anadarko Basin plays, with a large number of the well funded NYSE listed Tier-One operators (including Devon Energy, Marathon Oil, Continental Resources, Newfield Exploration and EOG Resources) targeting proven productive oil and gas reservoirs (within the liquids-rich fairways) that have historically been developed with vertical drilling, that can now be exploited with horizontal drilling.
Recent (post 2013) horizontal drilling along the Anadarko Basin margin by some of the more active operators in this region has delivered very encouraging results with a large number of plus 1,000 Boe per day initial production rates reported across the key counties (see Figure 2. below).

The Company is looking forward to keeping shareholders updated during the balance of 2017 and beyond with a strong pipeline of news flow expected as oil and gas sales continue to grow, proved reserves are booked and further wells are drilled and/or added to the inventory.
