Kodiak Completes Seismic Program, Hires New VP Operations and adds to Advisory Board
Kodiak Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: KDKN) is
pleased to announce that the North West Territories (NWT) Little Chicago
Seismic Program for 2007 is now complete. The seismic data is now in the
processing lab and results are expected in 6 to 8 weeks.
An independent evaluation of the Little Chicago Exploration license was
completed by a qualified engineering analyst. This report based its
evaluation of potential reserves in only one of the several structures
observed on the property. This report stated there could be up to 1 billion
barrels oil and up to 2 tcf of gas in one of the structures analyzed.
The new work on the 200,000 acres Mackenzie River block EL 413, potentially
based on preliminary info received, may contain up to 1 billion barrels oil
and potentially up to 4 TCF of natural gas if all the identified zones are
productive. These early estimates, will require confirmation via the
processing of the seismic acquired in March 2007 and the planned drilling
programs for winter of 2008/2009.
The oil targets are interesting as they could provide early production
while the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline moves through the regulatory process.
The Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Group, headed by Imperial Oil, Shell and
ConocoPhillips - recently advised Kodiak that the pipeline would be routed
through EL 413. This will substantially reduce development costs for the
gas production.
Upon the completion of the 2007 seismic and the Thunder River acquisition,
Kodiak's control or working interest will rise to 56.25% of the acreage.
Upon completion of the drilling programs planned for 2008, Kodiak's working
interest will increase via the farm in, to 78.12 % per test block for each
well drilled. With a rolling option to earn the same amount for the whole
block.
In order to prepare for the upcoming work planned in 2007 and going into
2008, Kodiak is pleased to announce a new VP Operations and 2 new members
