Modern Energy Corp. Announces Completion of Test Well With Major Natural Gas Producer Partner
Production Expected Within Thirty Days; Additional Test Wells Planned
Modern Energy Corp. (PINKSHEETS: MODR), (FRANKFURT: ME2), (FRANKFURT: ME2F), announced that the company and its new natural gas drilling partner have completed a test well on the leased property in a productive area in Oklahoma with positive results.
The test well was drilled through the Morrow, Chester and Mississippian Zones to a depth of 7260 feet. Completion of the well for gas and oil production is expected within the next 30 days. The company's 80% owned subsidiary has a 15% net participating interest in the test well plus as many as six additional natural gas well sites under consideration for drilling.

Modern Energy Corp. is involved in a section of land in Woodward County, Oklahoma near the Texas border. The area includes the Chester and Mississippian Zones, which are well known in the Oklahoma-Texas region for proven gas reserves. There are two wells, each producing 42 million cubic feet per day along with 500 barrels of oil per day, located about 10 miles away from the Modern Energy section. Another well 15 miles away is yielding 1,000 barrels of oil per day.
Further Development of Currently Producing Well
The Modern Energy section had its first well drilled in 1978. The well, known as Loomis #1, produced a significant amount of natural gas, but due to low natural gas prices at the time, the well was shut down. With oil prices now ranging $55 and $79 per barrel and natural gas fluctuating between $6 and $11 per thousand cubic feet, the company is confident that the decision to develop the well now is economically sound. Recent geologic and engineering studies indicate a potential 2.8 billion cubic feet of natural gas reserves in the area under Loomis well #1. The well has been in limited production at a rate of 100,000 cubic feet of gas per month from just the upper zones, not including the productive Chester Zone. The further development of the well will bring in production from the Chester Zone.
It is the company's analysis that the Loomis #1 well (in which it has a 65% interest) has the potential to produce more than 300,000 cubic feet of gas per day plus as much as 50 barrels of oil per day. At current prices of $6/thousand cubic feet and $60/barrel, this production would translate into revenues of over $1.5 - $2 million a year. Significantly, the company believes that up to six other productive wells could be drilled on the property.
