PLX Increases its Interest in Catahoula Lake Production
On 3 May 2010 Pryme Lake Exploration LLC („PLX‟), announced the acquisition of a 50% working interest (37.5% net revenue interest („NRI‟)) in oil production, production facilities and prospective leasehold on Catahoula Lake, Louisiana, from Lamar Oil and Gas Inc. (‟Lamar Property‟). PLX is now pleased to announce that it has acquired the remaining 50% working interest (37.5% NRI) in the Lamar Property. The interest was acquired for US$600,000.
The Lamar Property, which is incorporated in PLX‟ Catahoula Lake project, is not affected by the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing of Tridimension Energy LP (see announcement of 3 June 2010). It includes three producing oil wells, two salt water disposal wells, onshore production facilities, associated infrastructure and various barges and crew boats. In addition, the acquired leasehold contains a number of prospective locations for exploration and development. The Lamar Property is operated by Pryme Energy LLC, the wholly owned subsidiary and operating arm of Pryme Oil and Gas Inc.
“Ownership of 100% of this key asset will provide an immediate increase in oil production for PLX and will strengthen its competitive advantage in oil exploration and production over the entire area of Catahoula Lake,” said Ryan Messer, PLX‟ Managing Member and Pryme‟s Executive Director/COO.
Project Description
Pryme Oil and Gas Limited and Future Corporation Australia Limited each own 50% of Pryme Lake Exploration (“PLX”) which in turn owns a 50% Working Interest (36.5% NRI) in 7,676 mineral acres within Catahoula Lake and its surrounds and a 100% Working Interest (75% NRI) in 320 mineral acres within Catahoula Lake with associated oil production and facilities. PLX also owns a 50% interest in a drilling barge, service barges, crew boats and associated equipment which are required to drill and operate on Catahoula Lake.
The Catahoula Lake project is located in LaSalle, Rapides, and Grant parishes, Louisiana and is targeting multiple “stacked” oil zones throughout the Middle-Wilcox formation at depths ranging from 4,500 to 5,500 feet. Wells drilled in the Middle-Wilcox exhibit long production lives with low decline rates after the initial flush oil is produced and relatively steady production is established. Ultimate oil recoveries are expected to range from 50,000 through to 200,000 barrels drilled from land locations and in excess of 250,000 barrels for each successful well drilled from lake locations.
Ownership of the only equipment available to drill and service wells on Catahoula Lake provides PLX with a significant competitive advantage over other explorers throughout the entire 30,000 acre area of the lake, almost all of which is prospective.
