Wind River Basin
On
March 9, 2022, the Company acquired an additional 1,960 acres of State leases
from the State of Wyoming, to provide additional potential drilling locations
in the Wind River Basin. This acquisition brings the Company’s total acreage in
the Wind River Basin up to 20,847 acres. The importance of this lease
acquisition is that we can expedite a drilling permit on State lands. The
Company is still actively pursuing a JV partner and has had discussions with
other local operators about sharing the cost of rig mobilization for its proposed
drilling program.
The Company, through its direct subsidiary, Anaconda Energy,
LLC, closed on the acquisition of two small oil and gas operators in the
Illinois basin on December 28, 2021. The acquisition included all of the assets
of the operating companies,
including working interests held in certain oil and gas wells and leases and
five percent (5%) overriding royalty interest in certain leases and wells. The
acquisition also came with 20 oil wells, of which 9 can be worked over.
During Q1 2022, the
Company performed workover operations on three of the wells, which successful
generated a 75% increase in production for total operations. The asset is on
track to pay out within ten months. In Q1 2022, the Company’s Illinois Basin properties
generated $247,712 in total gross revenues, with net revenues of $107,297
attributable to Anaconda and its subsidiaries.
Houser-Sears #4 Well
The
Houser-Sears #4 well recompletion in the Aux Vases formation proved successful
with the well’s initial production coming in at around 33 barrels of oil per
day (“BOPD”), which has stabilized at around 7 BOPD.
“Our Illinois operations are a perfect
example of the type producing properties we look to acquire. The target
acquisition is undervalued, underdeveloped and offers low-risk development with
behind pipe potential and field wide optimization opportunities. This
combination translates into consistent and predictable cash flow to add to our
production base,” said Kevin J. Sylla, the Company’s Executive Chairman.

Houser-Sears #6 Well
Anaconda Energy has a 50% working
interest in the proposed well on the Houser-Sears leasehold. The parties plan
to drill a new well to a proposed depth of 3,500 feet in the month of June.
This infield drilling location is in a stacked-pay environment with the
potential to produce from several pay zones. The primary objectives are the Aux
Vases Sand (2,724’), Upper McClosky Limestone (2,800’) and McClosky Dolomites
(2,840’). The secondary objectives are the St. Louis Lime (3,150’) and Salem
Lime (3,308’). The well is expected to pay back within 180 days of initial
production.
Dundas Unical Prospect
The Company signed a participation
agreement to participate in 50% of the rework operations of the Mark Heat #4
well. The objective is to frac the Aux Vases formation with the expectation of
a 30 BOPD initial production. The rework operation is scheduled for the end of
Q2 2022.
Utah Properties
The Company realized total revenues of
$80,529 in January and February 2022 from its 21.7% non-operated working
interest in two EOG-operated horizontal wells located in the Uintah Basin of
Utah.
Oklahoma Project
The Company closed on the acquisition
of six wells in Carter and Garvin counties in Oklahoma. Three of the six wells
are currently producing and the other three are return to production
candidates.
“It is our belief that these Oklahoma
assets will add value to our production portfolio on day one,” said Alex M.
Hemb, CEO of Anaconda Energy, LLC. “The plan is to begin a workover and
optimization program within the next 30 days,” said Hemb. “The Company has also
identified several leases that meet its criteria for bolt-on acquisitions,”
continued Hemb.
Repurposing Abandoned Oil and Gas Wells
“Our acquisition of these stripper
wells is part of a bigger detailed plan to repurpose these wells at the end of
their life into clean energy producers, said Sylla. “Currently there are
several pilot projects and emerging new technologies focused on repurposing oil
and gas wells to accelerate the energy transition,” continued Sylla.
The Company’s New Energy Ventures
division is currently in the research phase of its evaluation into the
production of green energy by repurposing abandoned oil and gas wells into
geothermal wells and also producing hydrogen from abandoned wellbores using
emerging new technologies.
