In
Phase I of the Eel River Project, we have an obligation to pay 100%
of the
costs of drilling two wells, acquiring additional leasehold acres,
and
certain other activities. We are completing drilling plans for the
two
Phase I wells, including location selection, well design, and services
and
equipment procurement. We expect to drill these wells during the
second
quarter of 2006. We have also initiated a leasing program to significantly
expand the joint venture’s leasehold position in the basin. Following the
drilling of the first two wells and the completion of Phase I, we
will
have the option, but not the obligation, to proceed into Phase II.
If we
elect to proceed into Phase II, we will have an obligation to pay
100% of
the costs of drilling another well to be commenced by the end of
2006 and
of conducting a 3D seismic survey covering not less than 15 square
miles.
Subject to the completion of permitting and regulatory requirements,
we
expect to conduct the 3D seismic survey in the fall of 2006 and to
commence the drilling of the Phase II well in late 2006. Our existing
financial resources are expected to be adequate to complete the Phase
I
activities and a portion of the Phase II
activities.
|
· |
On
the Anadarko Project, we are completing preliminary geological and
geophysical interpretations of the 3D seismic data, and plan to reprocess
the 3D data, finalize the interpretations, and identify drillable
prospects. We then plan to acquire oil and gas leases over those
prospects, and to negotiate joint ventures with other companies,
who will
be able to earn interests in the leases by paying some or all of
the costs
of drilling one or more exploratory wells on the prospects. Our existing
financial resources are expected to be adequate to conduct these
activities during the remainder of 2006, although it is possible
that we
will elect to defer some of these activities in order to utilize
the
required funds for other planned activities or
opportunities.
|
· |
We
have identified strategic opportunities to acquire existing producing
fields in the United States, including in the Eel River Basin. If
consummated, these acquisitions will provide immediate cash flow
from
existing production, as well as access to proved undeveloped and
probable
reserves and deeper exploration potential through new drilling. Because
the acquisition targets have existing proved developed producing
reserves
and production, we would expect to fund some portion of the acquisition
costs with reserve-based debt financing. Assuming that mutually
satisfactory agreements can be reached with the existing owners of
the
fields, our existing financial resources are expected to be adequate
to
conduct the evaluation of these opportunities, but not sufficient
to
complete the acquisitions.
|
· |
We
plan to continue to evaluate exploration and development opportunities
and
appropriate acquisitions. Successful completion of acquisitions will
provide additional cash flow which will allow us to expand our activities
and capabilities, and advance exploration and development
opportunities.
|
· |
We
expect a gradual increase in general and administrative expenses
to
approximately $150,000 per month in the second half of 2006. We expect
to
expand our staff from three to seven employees with additions in
the areas
of land and legal, geoscience, accounting and
administration.
|
· |
It
is likely that we will need to (i) raise additional equity and/or
debt
financing during the next 12 months in order to complete these planned
activities or to access additional opportunities, or (ii) adjust
the scope
and extent of our plans to correspond with our available financial
resources.
