Signature Exploration and Production Corp. Provides Update on the Frio Sands Target in South Texas
--Total Gas Reserves Estimated at $225 Million--
HOUSTON, March 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Signature Exploration and Production Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SXLP), an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, exploitation and acquisition of oil and natural gas properties in the U.S., announced today that its joint venture partner in South Texas has leased a 1,043 net acre (m/l) Frio Sand (gas) target in South Texas. The target was identified through the acquisition of a 303 sq. mile 3D seismic database. Signature currently owns a 10% working interest with an option of 10% on additional wells on the prospect. The prospect has two potential targets for drilling, which previously have produced over 500,000 bbls.
The exploration team believes the multiple Frio sands identified in the seismic profile could contain significant gas and condensate reserves and proposes to drill one to two wells to test the Frio zones. "The Frio formation, a sandstone interval, is one of the most prolific producers in South Texas. Our interests in this prospect lie directly on the trend with many other major gas/condensate producing fields," said Steven Weldon, Chairman and CEO of Signature Exploration and Production Corp.
According to Texas Railroad Commission records, many of the wells have an accumulating production exceeding 200BCF (200 million MCF) and 300MBO. The Frio zones generally have higher permeability and porosity that lead to higher flow rates. "The oil and gas reserves on the lease are valued at approximately $225,000,000 based on a price of $4.50 per mcf. Based on the attractive sands formation and plentiful reserves, we are looking at a potentially lucrative, cash-generating property," concluded Weldon.
3D seismic surveys can better define prospective oil/gas structures and pinpoint drilling locations, thus increasing chances for successful wells. 3D seismic has become an invaluable tool for developing drilling prospects and has become the prospecting tool of choice in today's oil and gas exploration industry. The technique is utilized by major oil and gas companies throughout the world.
