Bayou City Exploration Expands Live Oak Prospect
In September, Bayou City entered into a joint development agreement with Sunray Operating, LLC and other private investors to jointly develop 2,700 leased acres at Live Oak. Based on their analysis of available data, the partners expect that when fully developed the entire project area could potentially hold as much as 100 BCF* and 1 MMBO,* with a total potential gross value of $700 million.
The number of productive and potentially productive reservoirs, combined with the extensive data that Bayou City Exploration has acquired on the prospect, lead management to regard this prospect as a very significant development project that could eventually encompass more than 5000 acres. Bayou City anticipates that it will bring in additional parties to advance project development. Drilling and re-entry are expected to begin in late 2005/early 2006.
Bayou City Exploration, the operator, will re-enter an existing wellbore and fracture stimulate the Wilcox formation on the property. The agreement also calls for drilling two shallow wells, one to the Queen City formation and the other to the Cole sand. A third-party engineering report, based on log analysis, subsurface geology and offset production histories, classifies the Wilcox reserves as probable, and possible, and the Cole and Queen City prospects' reserves as proven undeveloped.
