Selma Chalk
Redevelopment Project

Choctaw County

       

  • Alabama’s first oil field discovered in 1944
    • Development over next 60 years done by small operators
    • Lack of technology resulted in production not being optimized
  • Tecton acquired fragmented interests and now controls >90% of field
    • 4,500 net acres
    • WI ranges from 54% to 100%
    • Gross NRI averages 80%
  • Current operations
    • 3 producing wells (2 new drills and 1 re-entry)
    • ~ 30 BOPD gross production with potential of 750 - 1,000 BOPD
    • SWD system with 7,000 BWPD capacity now operational with
      commercial potential
  • Target formations found at ~2,300 - 2,700 feet
    • Structural interpretation confirmed by 2D seismic
    • Primary target formation is the Cretaceous Selma Chalk
      • 40 locations identified on 40-acre spacing
      • Estimated EUR of 78 MBO per well
      • Drill and complete cost of $450,000 - $600,000
    • Secondary target formation is Eutaw Sand
      • 10 locations identified on 40-acre spacing
      • Estimated EUR of 63 MBO per well
      • Drill and complete cost of ~$500,000
  • Significant upside opportunities
    • Application of improved drilling and completion techniques
      • Previous wells have never been fracture stimulated
    • 3 shut-in wells available for re-entry or re-completion
    • 10-acre spacing approved by state
      • Field has been developed on 40-acre and 80-acre spacing
    • 3D seismic shoot to verify fracture features
    • Secondary recovery potential
    • Expansion on trend
  • Crude sold to local asphalt plant
    • 20 API heavy crude, $12-$20 per barrel deduct to Nymex
  • Local infrastructure in place for future development
  • Leases cover all depths
