EnDevCo Purchases Short Junction Field
EnDevCo, Inc. (OTC BB: ENDE) the Energy
Development Company, today announced the acquisition of 100% of all rights
in the Central Unit and 98.712% in the West Unit of Short Junction Field
located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by EnDevCo Eureka, LLC for a purchase
price of $11.5 million. EnDevCo Eureka is owned 55% by its parent EnDevCo,
Inc. and 45% by private investors who are related parties. These investors
contributed $3.0 million in equity to enable EnDevCo to consummate the
transaction. EnDevCo Eureka, LLC, managed by EnDevCo personnel, will be
the Operator for the project with an effective date of January 01, 2006.
An aggressive well recompletion program that commenced in January of this
year will now provide immediate increases in daily oil and gas production.
Project financing is provided by GasRock Capital, LLC of Houston, Texas and
takes the form of a $30.0 million credit facility. GasRock Capital
(www.gasrockcapital.com) provides project based mezzanine debt financing to
the oil and gas industry by backing proven management teams that identify
high quality exploitation projects like the Short Junction Field. Mr.
Scott Johnson, GasRock Capital's Managing Director stated, "This is an
attractive opportunity for both EnDevCo and GasRock with a solid foundation
of proved reserves and a large upside we believe EnDevCo's management team
is capable of successfully exploiting."
The 12,000 acre field includes 270 well bores and full ownership rights to
a field wide natural gas pipeline and gathering system offering two
independent taps into the interstate gas transmission system. The field is
currently producing from only 19 wells with total daily production in
excess of 100 barrels of oil per day from the Hunton limestone reservoir
and 300 mcf of gas per day from the Red Fork Sand reservoir. The Company
will draw down an initial $9.5 million from its credit facility to be used
toward the acquisition price and operations on 13 additional well bores
during the second quarter of this year. This work will be focused on the
completion of bypassed gas pays and the reactivation of selected oil wells
to produce shut-in proven reserves.
"Later this year, once the work program of well workovers and
re-completions is further along, we will be acquiring 3D seismic over the
field. This data will be utilized to guide the drilling of horizontal
multi-lateral wells in the Hunton reservoir to develop the full upside
potential that we have identified in the field. We believe that our
application of cost effective 'science before the drill bit' will greatly
reduce the risk profile and improve profits for the Company while
increasing value for our shareholders," said Mr. Richard G. Boyce, COO.
Mr. Chris A. Dittmar, CEO stated, "This purchase is an important milestone
for EnDevCo. It will establish for the first time, a solid and dependable
cash flow for the Company from oil and gas production. As a result, the
Company finally will be able to book Proved Reserves on its balance sheet.
We are thankful for the opportunity to prove ourselves as a 'boots on the
ground' Operator of a significant oil and gas producing field. We would
also like to acknowledge and greatly appreciate, the confidence shown in
our management team by GasRock Capital."
