Bois d'Arc to Focus on Gulf Shelf Acreage in 2007
Bois d'Arc has budgeted $104 million to drill 15 (11.8 net) offshore wells in 2007. Bois d'Arc has budgeted an additional $69 million for completion and facilities costs related to these wells. Six of the wells in the 2007 drilling program will be drilled deeper than 15,000 feet to test high potential exploration prospects. In addition the Company plans to spend $17 million on acquiring seismic data and acreage and estimates that it will spend $11 million for recompletions and for abandonment work in 2007.
"Our 2007 drilling program will allow us to continue to replace our production and grow our reserve base through the drill bit," stated Wayne L. Laufer, Chief Executive Officer of Bois d'Arc. "Our 2007 drilling program includes a balance of nine lower risk conventional prospects which should replace what we expect to produce in 2007 and six higher risk and higher potential deeper prospects that expose the Company to significant growth if they are successful. We expect to be able to fund our 2007 drilling program with our operating cash flow and will use any excess cash flow to reduce our outstanding debt."
Bois d'Arc Energy is a growing independent exploration company engaged in the discovery and production of oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico.
