This field is productive in the Cotton Valley Limestone
formation (also called the "Cotton Valley Lime") at a vertical depth of
approximately 9,500 feet. (Carroll #1 was packed at 9.200 feet) Field development continued following the initial
discovery in 1978 into the early 1980s, eventually encompassing an area 12 miles
long and 5 miles wide (approximately 30,000 acres). Between 1978 and 1987, the
Cheneyboro Field produced approximately 3.0 million Bbl of oil from 69 vertical
wells, representing an average of approximately 45,000 Bbl per well. Some of the
vertical wells have produced over 100,000 Bbl, indicating better drainage where
the wells penetrated the fracture system. In 1987, the Tarrant County Water
Authority expropriated approximately 20,000 acres of this field. Producing wells
were plugged and abandoned to permit construction of the Richland/Chambers Creek
Reservoir, a water supply project for Tarrant County and the City of Fort Worth,
Texas.

The Cotton Valley Lime reservoir at Cheneyboro is highly fractured. The
primary objective reservoir rock is an oolitic carbonate grainstone of Jurassic
age that was deposited on a Paleozoic shelf break. Subsequent pullout of the
deeper Louann Salt caused extensive fracturing. The salt withdrawal left the
residual field structure as simple regional dip. Hydrocarbon trapping occurs as
a result of the high degree of fracture density bounded by areas of
non-permeability. Core and log analyses indicate the presence of 2.5 to 4.5% oil
saturated matrix porosity in the field. Vertical wells in this reservoir produce
42(degree) API oil.

Horizontal drilling techniques will lead to
initial rates and recovery efficiencies several times those experienced in the
original vertical well completions. Since the majority of the field is under
lake water, directional drilling from the shoreline was anticipated. Based on analogy
to horizontal drilling in fractured limestone reservoirs in other areas,
increased productive capacity and ultimate reserves are anticipated relative to
historical, vertical per well averages.

When the field was first developed, several shallower zones tested
hydrocarbons at commercial rates. Due to the expropriation of the field, these
zones were not developed. The Cretaceous Rodessa, Glen Rose, Pettit and Travis
Peak intervals may also prove productive in the field area.

Gas from these wells is expected to be connected to one of several
pipelines in the area.

(Horizontal Drilling. Horizontal drilling begins with drilling in the
normal manner (vertically) to a point above the objective formation. From that
point, the hole is directionally deviated until the bit is drilling generally
horizontally in the producing zone. Directional drilling technology has advanced
to the point that the drill-bit can be kept in one geological horizon for many
hundreds of feet away from the vertical well bore. It is no longer necessary to
strike a localized fracture zone accurately with a vertical well. Instead, a
well can be drilled horizontally through an area where fractured zones are known
to exist with a greater chance of encountering the vertical fractures. A single
horizontal well can encounter several localized fracture zones.

Horizontal drilling was first developed over 20 years ago, and has been
used successfully in oil and gas fields as diverse as those located in West
Virginia, the North Sea, Saskatchewan, Argentina, Prudhoe Bay and South Texas,
to extract oil and gas where vertical drilling is impossible or uneconomical.
Horizontal drilling has also increased production of oil and gas from fields
with thin pay zones, low permeability sands, vertical fractured reservoirs,
discontinuous formations and reservoirs with gas and water coning problems. High
angle directional drilling has been performed extensively onshore in California
to reach bottom holes in congested cities or harbors where vertical drilling
would not be feasible. Horizontal drilling has been used extensively offshore to
drill many wells from one platform. )
