LHPT in Louisiana Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Update
PR Newswire
NEW YORK, March 13, 2012
NEW YORK, March 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- (OTC Pinks LHPT) Lighthouse Petroleum, Inc. during the first quarter of 2012 has successfully closed two transactions of the year. Lighthouse initial transaction was a purchase of a participation interest in a well in Lucy Lee Well located in St. Helena Parrish, Louisiana. The second transaction was the closing of the purchase of the Perry Lease and Perry "A" Lease. "I believe the foundation for Lighthouse's future growth has been laid with the closing of these two transaction. I expect the Lucy Lee well to begin generating revenue for Lighthouse before the end of the quarter March 31, 2012. In addition I am pleased to announce the Perry and Perry "A" Lease now have an approved budget and we are currently work with the operator to begin scheduling work on both Perry leases." said CEO Todd Violette. "The Louisiana Project has several benefits for the long term development of the company. It puts Lighthouse right in the middle of some major projects going on in that area targeting the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale. Several majors oil and gas companies have been drilling in Louisiana targeting the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale and are producing very solid returns based on public disclose management is able to find. Since the Lucy Lee project is much larger in terms of required cash than what Lighthouse could have done on its own, partnering and buying a non- operator participating interest has given us a foothold in the area and a relationship with a local operator."
Management expects that if the Lucy Lee project is successful the Company will have an opportunity to work with the same local operator on additional projects in the area. Management completed an inspection of another well in February 2012. Recent Google searches done by management of oil and gas projects in the surrounding area indicated two key findings (1) that a similar well in the area have produced 290 Barrels of day of oil and some gas, and (2) major oil and gas companies are investing and requesting exploration permits in the areas of Louisiana and Mississippi targeting the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale. Information management relied upon when deciding to invest in the Lucy Lee indicates that it has the potential to produce between 200 to 400 barrels per day of fluid with an expected oil cut of about 20%.
Geologic Overview:
The Tuscaloosa Marine shale (TMS) has long been identified as the source of oil in the Lower Tuscaloosa sandstone and Austin Chalk in Mississippi and Louisiana. Its Texas equivalent, the Eagle Ford shale, is currently one of the hottest development areas in the lower 48. Wells drilling through the TMS typically encounter oil and gas shows. Report of oil on the pits is common while drilling through the TMS. Devon and Encana are the most active drillers in TMS Play Trend in SE Louisiana.
