1. December 31, 2009, Firecreek, through its wholly owned subsidiary Energy Producers, Inc. (“Energy Producers” or “EPI”) closed an Acquisition Agreement including an Assignment of Interests in Oil and Gas Leases (the “Assignment”), with Whitt Oil & Gas, Inc., (“Whitt” or “Operator”) a Texas corporation acquiring 50% working interests and corresponding 32% net revenue interests in oil and gas leases representing the aggregate total of 240 acre leases, reserves, three wells, and equipment located in Callahan, Stephens, and Shakelford Counties, West Central Texas.
2. Firecreek proposes initially to undertake with MNVN as follows: prepare to contract for a 3-D Seismic contract covering the Boyette property in Shackelford County, Texas. The seismic study will focus on specific Barnett Shale formation characteristics that will assist in the drilling of one and possibly two Barnett horizontal wells or an equivalent of up to eight vertical wells on the Boyette lease at a proposed initial depth of approximately 5,200’ to 5,500’ feet. There have been recent Barnett wells in the area that have been productive in the oil segment or phase of the Barnett Shale that have justified the seismic study. The onsite seismic work is expected to commence within 90 days.
3. Price contributed by MNVN for the initial 3-D Seismic study and proposed herewith to buy out 50% partner interests, and other costs with re engaged start up activities: $175,000 of which $10,000 has been received by Firecreek as a deposit to date thereby leaving a balance of $165,000 due.
4. On successful seismic testing anticipated AFE for Barnet Horizontal Well program would be estimated to be $750,000 per horizontal well. A two well objective upon stabilization of the two planned wells would be 80 to 100 BOPD. Firecreek to come to terms of agreement regarding financing for the proposed drilling and development should the parties agree to further move forward after the Seismic study.
5. Miscellaneous.

A mineral interest is the ownership of rights to gas, oil, or other minerals as they naturally occur in place, at or below the surface of a tract of land. Ownership of the minerals carries with it the right to make such reasonable use of the surface as may be necessary to explore for and produce the minerals. Only the mineral owner (or fee owner) may execute an oil or gas lease conveying his interest in a tract of land. Severance: The owner of all rights to a tract of land (vertically or horizontally). In horizontal severance, for example, if he chooses to sell all or part of the mineral rights, two distinct estates are created: the surface rights to the tract of land and the mineral rights to the same tract. The two estates may change hands independently of each other. Severed minerals rights may be restricted as to mineral type, or limited by depth, (in which case the landowner retains the rights to minerals other than those severed, and to depth intervals other than those severed.) |
| |
The Company attempts to maintain all of its operating wells in good working condition. Whitt Oil and Gas, Inc. (Whitt) a Texas corporation, and licensed operator, is familiar with the oil and gas business in the area.
