GREATER GREEN RIVER / WIND RIVER BASIN PROJECTS
Greater Green River Basin
The Company owns 22 producing natural gas wells situated on approximately 18,214 gross acres in the Greater Green River Basin of Wyoming, 78% held by production. The properties are located in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and provide meaningful upside potential from a field-wide optimization and maintenance program, currently being implemented by the Company. The properties are long-life conventional natural gas assets with significant proven, probable and possible reserves. The properties also have numerous behind-pipe opportunities, both in the Fluvial and Marine sections of the Frontier formation with sizable upside development opportunities from large undeveloped acreage position.
Wind River Basin
The Company owns approximately 16,387 acres of leaseholds located in Fremont County, Wyoming. This acreage position provides the Company with substantial upside in the form of attractive exploration and development projects targeting multiple formations across predominantly continuous oil and gas leases. The Company plans to retain a third-party engineering firm to perform a comprehensive geological and geophysical analysis of the acreage to quantify possible and contingent reserves for this developmental acreage.
The Company’s acreage is located in a large undrilled area and is along the eastern flank of a deeper sub basin in the Wind River Basin proper, where a deep structural deposit called the Beaver Creek field has produced approximately 71.7 million barrels of oil and 906,473,338 MCF of gas. The Big Sand Draw field, updip to the south, has produced some 60.8 million barrels of oil and 214,923,203 MCF of gas from multi-pay horizons generally in the Frontier, Muddy, Lakota, Morrison, Phosphoria, Tensleep and Madison formations. The Paleozoic aged section is the primary objective, and the Phosphoria, Tensleep, Madison and Flathead Formations of the Paleozoic have yielded significant oil production in a number of regional fields down dip to the west, updip to the south and along structural trends farther to the west - northwest.
The Wind River Basin is located in central Wyoming. The basin contains over 60 large oil and gas fields producing from 17 different formations. In 2018, a U.S. Geological Survey (“USGS”) petroleum assessment determined that there were an estimated 528 million barrels of oil, 2 trillion cubic feet of gas and 40 million barrels of natural gas liquids of undiscovered resources of the Niobrara Interval of the Cody Shale of the Wind River Basin Province, Wyoming.
UINTA BASIN PROJECTS
Stagecoach Project
The Company owns a 21% non-operated working interest in two (2) Uinta Basin horizontal gas wells:
Stagecoach 111-20H and Stagecoach 117-20H. Both wells have been producing natural gas in commercial quantities since December 2017 and both are operated by EOG Resources, Inc. (NYSE: EOG). These wells fit with the Company’s overall growth strategy for the Basin and provide Foothills with the ability to gain insight on an emerging horizontal play from a world-class operator. The wells have been classified as Confidential by the operator with the
State of Utah Department of Natural Resources Division of Oil, Gas and Mining.Duck Creek Project
The Company has developed a workover program on its wells with behind pipe oil production potential located in the Duck Creek area (Natural Buttes Field) of the Uinta Basin. The Company seeks to add proved reserves and increase production through the use of advanced completion technologies and selectively re-completing existing wells. The rework program will target bypassed pay zones in the Uteland Butte, Castle Peak, Carbonate Marker, B-Limestone, Black Shale, and Douglas Creek formations. Reworks will consist of swabbing, perforating and frac rework operations.
Altamont-Bluebell Project
Asset consists of 5,700 acres with proved undeveloped reserves and provides the Company with numerous infield drilling locations and considerable upside potential in the near term:
- 7+ MMBO total proved reserves
6+ MMBO total probable/possible reserves
Existing infrastructure in place
Multiple stacked pay zones
Horizontal drilling targets in Castle Peak, Uteland Butte and Upper Wasatch
Long-Life Reserves – Uinta Basin wells have historically produced for as long as 30-40 years.
