TransCoastal Corp. Enters into Agreement to Drill 10 Wells in Core Area

DALLAS, July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- TransCoastal Corp (OTCQB: TCEC), ("TransCoastal"), an independent energy development company, announced today that it has entered into a joint venture agreement with Core Resource Management Incorporated (OTC: CRMI), ("CRMI"), to drill up to 10 wells on TransCoastal's Pampa, Texas acreage.  

The agreement stipulates that CRMI will fund 100% of the drilling and completion costs of up to $475,000 per well. Any additional drilling and completion expenses for each well will be split 60% to TransCoastal and 40% to CRMI.  Upon completion, each party will have a 50% working interest in each well. The net revenue interest will be split 42.6% to CRMI and 28.4% to TransCoastal until each well's drilling and completion costs are paid back. Afterwards, each party will have a 35.5% net revenue interest in each well. CoreTerra Operating, a subsidiary of TransCoastal, will be the official operator of each well.

Casimir Capital L.P. acted as the exclusive advisor on the transaction.

"These first 10 joint venture wells are just the beginning of an aggressive development program of approximately 100 drill site locations in our proved-undeveloped reserve category," spoke Stuart Hagler, CEO of TransCoastal. "This JV compliments TransCoastal's acquisition strategy of acquiring and developing long-lived reserves, which remain largely undeveloped."
