News: Foothills Resources, Inc. Updates Drilling Plans on California and Texas Properties
Wednesday September 19, 1:18 pm ET
Company Signs Drilling Contracts
BAKERSFIELD, Calif., Sept. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Foothills Resources, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: FTRS - News) today announced an update to its drilling plans in its core California and Texas areas.
Foothills has executed drilling rig contracts for wells to be drilled in California and Texas. Operations are expected to begin within a week in Texas and in mid-October in California.
California
Foothills expects to commence its planned development and exploratory drilling program in the Grizzly Bluff gas field in Northwest California's Eel River Basin in mid-to-late October. The current plans are to drill three wells: one to the shallow Anderson sand objective, one to the intermediate depth Lower Rio Dell objective, and one to test the deeper Grizzly Bear exploratory prospect which underlies the Grizzly Bluff Field. The Company also plans to conduct a re-entry and deepening of the Vicenus 1-3 well that Foothills drilled last year. As previously reported, the primary objective in this well had to be cemented off after encountering a highly productive overpressured gas zone in the Lower Rio Dell formation. The well was subsequently completed in the gas-bearing Rio Dell sands above this zone. Foothills has arranged to share the rig moving costs with another operator in the area.
Texas
Foothills' first development drilling program in the Goose Creek oil field in Harris County, Texas is expected to start within a week. Preparations are currently underway, with plans calling for the drilling of three wells to develop proved undeveloped oil reserves, plus a salt water disposal well. Successful completion of these wells is expected to lead to a significant increase in field production.
John Moran, Foothills President, commented, "While access to oilfield service equipment has delayed our drilling program, we are now in a position to carry out our plans for 2007. Now that drilling equipment arrival is imminent, we are excited about what is shaping up to be a very active fourth quarter for Foothills."

News: 'Cheetah' may roll out of Person plant this fall
BY WILLIAM F. WEST : The Herald-Sun
bwest@heraldsun.com
Aug 7, 2007 : 10:57 pm ET
http://www.heraldsun.com/person/12-871345.cfm?
ROXBORO -- Force Protection plans to roll the first of its new light-armored "Cheetah" vehicles off the assembly line in northern Person County "probably later in the fall," a corporate spokesman says.
The spokesman, Tommy Pruitt, said no specific date has been set, but the plant is being outfitted for production.
"We're expecting to be able to build about 2,000 of them next year," he said.
"That's a lot," Roxboro Mayor Steve Joyner said.
Joyner cited the future source of pride in the community to be able to assemble vehicles that will save lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"That is just a noble cause -- a noble commercial cause as well," he added.
Gov. Mike Easley announced July 12 that Force Protection would assemble the Cheetah, the corporation's newest vehicle, at the former Collins & Aikman automotive supplier building along Halifax Road.
Force Protection, a South Carolina corporation, makes vehicles for the armed forces that are designed to withstand blasts from land mines and improvised explosive devices.
The Person County facility is expected to bring 270 jobs over next four years.
The four-wheel-drive Cheetah will be equipped with offensive and defensive weapons. According to the manufacturer, the vehicle comes with either a 275- or 300-horsepower engine, is capable of a 75 mph cruising speed, with bursts up to 89 mph, and is designed for reconnaissance, forward command and control and urban operations.
Joyner hopes the Force Protection facility will encourage other business and industrial investors to consider Roxboro and Person County.
"I think this is the first thing that is going to jump start our new whole economic development approach that we're taking," he said.
He was referring to work by him and his fellow Person County leaders earlier this spring to improve business and tourism growth efforts by reducing duplication, closing service gaps and putting agencies under a single umbrella.
County Commissioner Larry Bowes said that residents are excited about the Force Protection plant and that he has driven by and monitored progress at the site.
There is much cleaning, straightening up "and getting ready to go," Bowes said.
"I know that it has really been a hustle-bustle thing going on there now," he said. "They're really rolling."
He said the president of Force Protection wrote a letter that was published over the weekend in Roxboro's newspaper expressing appreciation to the citizens of the county.
He also said the president stated the corporation's intention "to live up to their obligation to be a first-class plant -- and that they look for a great future here in Person County."
And one of the leaders of Force Protection will give a public presentation at 8 a.m. Sept. 26.
Dan Busher, an executive vice president, is expected to provide details at a Roxboro Area Chamber of Commerce breakfast at the Golden Corral steak house, 40 Weeks Drive, Chamber President and Chief Executive Officer Marcia O'Neil said.

NEWS: Foothills Resources, Inc. Announces Operations Update
Monday June 18, 8:30 am ET
Company on Schedule to Complete 2007 Drilling Program
BAKERSFIELD, Calif., June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Foothills Resources, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: FTRS - News) today announced an operations update in its core operations in California, the Texas Gulf Coast and Oklahoma.
Total production from Foothills' two core operations in California and Texas is currently averaging about 900 gross barrels of oil equivalent per day (675 net). Although no wells have been drilled in the second quarter, Foothills is on schedule to drill 6 to 8 gross wells (5.5 to 7.5 net) in the second half of 2007. Management anticipates that these new wells, combined with the continuing recompletion program in Texas and production from currently shut-in wells, will significantly increase overall Company production in 2007.
California
Natural gas production from the Grizzly Bluff Field in the Eel River Basin of northwest California remains strong, with the Company's current net production totaling approximately 395,000 cubic feet per day. Production efficiency has been enhanced by the installation of additional compression facilities. Natural gas prices have also been firm, with the Company receiving $7.04 per MMBtu for its April 2007 production.
Processing of the 3D seismic data acquired in January of this year has required more time than expected due to the intense effort required to achieve the best overall results. The processing is nearly complete and the Company expects to begin interpretation of the data set shortly.
A drilling rig has been secured for the 2007 drilling program and the detailed pre-drill planning is underway. The drilling equipment is expected to arrive in the Eel River Basin area in mid-August, and we anticipate sharing rig moving expenses with another operator in the area.
The current plans are to drill three wells: one to the shallow Anderson sand objective, one to the intermediate depth Lower Rio Dell objective, and one to test the deeper Grizzly Bear exploratory prospect. The Company also plans to conduct a re-entry and deepening of the Vicenus 1-3 well that Foothills drilled last year. As previously reported, the primary objective in this well had to be cemented off after encountering a highly productive overpressured gas zone in the Lower Rio Dell formation. The well was subsequently completed in the gas-bearing Rio Dell sands above this zone.
A high quality DHI (Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator) supported prospect has been identified on 2D seismic in the Table Bluff area about seven miles northwest of Grizzly Bluff, and Foothills has accumulated a controlling leasehold position over this area. The Company is integrating its geologic mapping with 2D seismic and data from wells drilled in this area. Public records indicate that two wells in the nearby Table Bluff Field produced natural gas for a short period of time during the 1960s during a time of low commodity prices.
John Moran, President of Foothills said, "The first six months of 2007 have been a very exciting time here at Foothills. We have further developed our projects, gained access to a rig and equipment needed for our planned activities, and laid the groundwork for continued growth that will enable us to complete our 2007 drilling plans."
Texas Gulf Coast
The Company has maintained a very active recompletion, workover and field servicing program in its Texas oil fields since Foothills' previous report. Significant progress has also been made in improvements to the field infrastructure. Some older oil flowlines have been replaced, higher capacity and more efficient pumping units have been installed, and field personnel have been redeployed to run the operations more efficiently.
Mike Moustakis, Foothills Vice President of Engineering, commented, "Oil field infrastructure improvements may not be the most glamorous projects, but they are a critical component in the oil and natural gas industry. At Foothills they continue to provide a strong payback in terms of enhanced production reliability and optimum well-by-well performance."
Natural gas production has been initiated from a previously inactive well in the Goose Creek Field and additional wells have been identified as potential future producers. Currently, the Company is repositioning compressors and adding in-field flowlines to take advantage of an asset that was not producing when Foothills purchased the field last year.
Current net daily production is stable at about 620 BOE from the Texas assets; however an estimated 60 to 75 barrels of additional daily net oil production is presently shut-in or restricted. Foothills is waiting for a barge-mounted workover rig, expected in approximately three weeks, to finish the recompletion and hook-up of several wells that are in the shallow-water portion of the Goose Creek Field.
The Company's production volumes from Goose Creek are expected to get a substantial boost in the second half of this year as a result of new drilling to develop PUD (Proved Undeveloped) reserves. Three to five new wells are expected to be drilled with drilling anticipated to commence in August.
"Overall, the recompletion program has exceeded our expectations with 18 successful results out of 20 projects undertaken so far. Foothills has a substantial inventory of recompletions and major workovers that will keep us busy well into the future," noted Mr. Moran.
At the Cleveland Field, oil and natural gas production has been enhanced and field operational reliability improved by redesigning the gas lift system and removing certain bottlenecks to parts of the production infrastructure.
Planning is continuing for a 3D seismic survey to be conducted over the Goose Creek and Goose Creek East Fields in 2008. This seismic survey is expected to provide significant data for the evaluation of the deeper Vicksburg gas potential under the core of the Goose Creek Field.
Oklahoma
Geophysical and geologic mapping of the reprocessed West Cheyenne 3D data set in the Anadarko Basin is expected to be completed within the next week. Several prospects have been identified in the deep Morrow formation as well as the deeper Hunton formation. These prospects will be high-graded and leasing is expected to begin this summer.
Foothills has initiated efforts to secure partners on a promoted basis as the Company moves forward on this project. Morrow wells in this area typically produce at rates of up to 10 MMCFPD with ultimate reserves in many of the wells in excess of 20 BCF per well. As a result, interest in this project by prospective partners is high. Due to the nature of the land situation in this part of Oklahoma, leasing efforts are expected to take the rest of the year with drilling to start in 2008.

MMG News: And Then There Were None?
Monday, December 04, 2006
http://www.greatinvestments.blogspot.com
In August (http://greatinvestments.blogspot.com/2006/08/why-we-think-several-companies-will.html), we mentioned two world-class sized zinc projects scheduled to start production in the next few years, one in Iran and one in Bolivia. These were the only two world-class sized (150,000+ tonnes per year) zinc projects in the world that had completed a feasibility study and were planning to start production in the next three years. Since then, the obvious political risks of those countries have put those projects into doubt:
* Mehdiabad in Iran has had difficulties financing the $1.6 billion project because of Iranian political issues, so in order to try to secure financing, management has decided to conduct a scoping study to consider a number of lower cost options to stage the project and start with much lower production. They’ve also had issues with the Iranian government http://www.unioncapital.com.au/UCL/documents/feedback.html. The U.S. recently ordering banks to shut down operations in Iran won't make financing any easier. It looks like if Mehdiabad can get financing and make it into production in the next few years, it will be on a much smaller scale than originally planned.
* Apex Silver's San Cristobal in Bolivia, which has presold a huge portion of their zinc production at .48/lb, is still scheduled to start production in late 2007. However, on Sunday, President Evo Morales completed the nationalization of Bolivia’s Natural Gas industry, signing contracts to take control over foreign companies’ operations: http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/061203/bolivia_nationalization.html?.v=3. As that article explains, “Morales has said he plans to nationalize Bolivia’s mining sector.” After nationalizing Bolivia’s petroleum industry in May, some thought his threat to nationalize mining had no teeth, but the nationalization of the Natural Gas industry shows Morales means business. If Morales succeeds in nationalizing mining, that could delay or reduce production from San Cristobol.
If neither of these two world class zinc projects make it to full production as planned in coming years, the zinc crisis we mentioned earlier this year could get much worse than anyone expects. There would be no proven feasible projects of this production size left in the pipeline, which would be very bullish for the price of zinc.
If MMG can successfully complete the feasibility study for their Sierra Mojada project at anywhere near expected production rates, the problems at Mehdiabad and San Cristobal could make Sierra Mojada the only world-class sized zinc project in the world proven feasible and scheduled for production in the next few years. At a time of zinc crisis, where MMG is also the only zinc junior miner listed on a major exchange in the U.S., MMG’s 100% owned Sierra Mojada project could become the premier mining takeover target. We expect multiple takeover bids at much higher levels from cash rich major mining companies looking to replace their depleting reserves. While we believe shareholders would best be served by MMG going to production alone, takeover bids would ensure MMG a more appropriate market valuation for their premier assets.
