HELEN GOHLKE FARMOUT
In March 2003, the company entered into a farmout agreement with Estrella Drilling Fund. As part of this agreement, the company farmed out 4,390 acres of the Helen Gohlke Field where Texen will retain a 25% working interests after a successful initial test well. Texen will be responsible for 25% of costs of each well after breakeven; and Estrella Drilling Fund will receive all remaining interest in the acreage in return for absorbing the remaining drilling costs.
Drilling began on the initial test well in April 2003 with this well identifying 9 bright spot anomalies (verifying 9 pockets of gas). The first test well is part of a 7-well drilling program by Estrella Drilling Fund.
BROOKSHIRE DOME FIELD
In June 2002, the company acquired Texas Brookshire Partners, Inc. Brookshire Dome Field - 1,440 gross leasehold acres in Waller County, Texas. Texen holds a 93.4% working interest in 550 net acres (1,440 gross leasehold acres) in the Brookshire Dome Field. The lands have been developed with 26 wells and one water injection well. The Brookshire Salt Dome is a large (8,000 aces) and relatively shallow piercement salt dome located about 35 miles from the company's head office in Houston. The wells drilled to date on the lease were on an area of less than 40 acres and all were completed in Miocene and Frio sand at between 1,700 and 3,300 feet depth. The shallow drilling will allow for well drilling and completion costs to be kept at an average of US$250,000 or less.
BROOKSHIRE DRILLING
In July 2002, Texen acquired Brookshire Drilling Service, a full service well completion and workover company. Field offices are located in Brookshire and Victoria, Texas. The company has workover rigs, which are fully equipped with work tanks, pumps, drill collars and all necessary items to work on wells in most applications. The company has its own trucking equipment to move their rigs to location, and the heavy equipment necessary to do drill site preparation, clean up and general roustabout service, including painting, welding and pipeline repair.
OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
Petroleum - The US Department of Energy (DOE) Annual Energy Outlook published in January 2003 estimates total domestic petroleum production increases from 7.7 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2001 to 8million b/d by 2025. Total petroleum demand is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.7% through 2025, reaching 29.17 million b/d.
Natural Gas - Driven by growth in natural gas demand, domestic natural gas production is projected to increase from 19.5 to 25.1 trillion cubic feet between 2001 and 2020. Total demand for natural gas is projected to increase from 22.7 trillion cubic feet to 34.9 trillion cubic feet, between 2001 and 2025, primarily because of rapid growth in demand for electricity generation. Estimates obtained from the DOE.
