Section 5.2 Initial Evaluation Wells. The first two evaluation wells (“Evaluation Wells”) to be drilled by the Joint Venture will be located in sections                                                  , the precise locations of which inside such Sections will be as agreed by all of the Members.

 

Section 5.3 Initial Evaluation Wells Ownership. Citrus and Oklaco will cause to be drilled, two initial Evaluation Wells as described in Section 5.2 above and pay 100 % of the costs associated with the drilling and completion attempts. At such time that the initial two Evaluation Wells have jointly reached payout, E & P will have the option and may elect to be assigned, without charge, a 40% working interest in these initial Evaluation Wells. Payout shall be defined as that point in which the paying “Interest Owner”(s) have recouped their costs to include, among other things, the cost of building roads, staking and clearing locations, drilling contractor costs, drill stem tests, logging expenses, costs of setting production casing and any other associated costs with the completion attempt or the costs to plug and abandon any one or more of the two initial Evaluation Wells.

 

Section 5.4 Subsequent Wells. Any subsequent wells drilled within the AMI after the initial Evaluation Wells have been drilled (“Subsequent Well(s)”), will be drilled on a 50/50 basis whereby, E & P will own a 50% working interest and, in the aggregate, Citrus and Oklaco will own 50%. Subsequent Wells may be proposed by any Member and the election to join-in or farm-out will be governed by a mutually agreed upon, standard industry, Joint Operating Agreement with the terms of any proposed join-in or farm-out being on a mutually acceptable basis by the Members. It is further agreed that any Member not wishing to participate in a proposed subsequent well, may not elect to go non-consent under the Operating Agreement. The non-participating Member will surrender its rights to participate in the proposed Subsequent Well on mutually acceptable farm-out terms as mentioned above.

DATA ACQUISITION PROCEDURES

 

The following are the data acquisition procedures to be used, as applicable, for the CBM evaluation wells in the Chehalis Basin.

 

1.Drill two evaluation wells to penetrate the Eocene coal sequence (thru the Black Seam) maintaining drilling fluid weight at or below predicted insitu reservoir pressures. This is a mud log requirement to facilitate the identity, and to assess the quality, of gas shows recorded by the chromatograph while drilling. The mud logging unit must maintain a carefully calibrated chromatograph and record the various monitors from the rig floor such as depth, ROP, mud weight, salinity, pH, viscosity, temperature and gamma ray, if available. Incorporate via Pason, if possible. Mud logger should take care in sample selection at intervals of 20 feet or less where drilling rate permits. Logger should examine cleaned samples in a reasonably continuous manner to determine lag, report shows, and provide lithologic description of the penetrated section, Chromatographs should be calibrated one or two times each day.

 

2.The log suite needs to be run with weight of fluids in the hole approximating insitu pressures of the CBM reservoirs and without injurious addictives which may be harmful to the coal seams. A full suite of Schlumberger, Halliburton or other contractor Suites equivalent to “Platform Express” should be run. This includes Caliper, SP, GR, Resistivities, Neutron Density and Gamma-Gamma Density. As special log additions, a digital waveform sonic, a spectral density log and an acoustic or audio-temperature log. The latter is the reason for maintaining the desired constraints on mud weight.

 

3.To assure accuracy of dip direction and magnitude for the strike-oriented laterals, each 2500-3000 feet, geosteered and drilled in underbalanced medium, it may be necessary to run an oriented image log across the objective coal seam. I believe logging companies have a 500 foot minimum service for image logs. Aside from its use as a high-resolution dip meter, the log will add much detail for the coal’s reservoir characteristics. At the projected total depth, be sure to add the length of the logging tool makeup for a rat hole. This will allow all sensors to read the desired section.

 

4.When log runs and analyses are completed, side wall cores of the most promising CBM reservoirs should be secured and canistered, placed in a controlled environment for maturity and gas content determinations in the laboratory. Sidewall cores may not prove as effective as conventional full wireline cores, but E&Pco’s experience with rotary cored sidewalls has been encouraging. Even so, where CBM reservoir depths can be accurately predicted, full size wireline coring is recommended. Such cores will provide more reliable desorption data for reserve calculations.

Section 9.7 Gender and Number: Person. Whenever the context requires, the gender of all words used herein shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, and the number of all words shall include the singular and plural thereof has been appointed.
