Exhibit 99.1
BCM Energy Partners, Inc. Executes Purchase and Sale Agreements with Drum Oil & Gas, Inc. and Drum Equipment to acquire Liberty Field Assets
NEW ORLEANS, August 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- BCM Energy Partners, Inc., (OTCPK: BCME), an oil and gas company focused on acquiring and developing distressed assets, announced today that it has executed Purchase and Sale Agreements with Drum Oil and Gas, Inc. and Drum Equipment, Inc. to acquire certain producing assets in Liberty County, Texas.
King Krebs and Jurgens PLLC (New Orleans) served as counsel to BCM Energy in this transaction, which contemplates a closing by September 16, 2011.
BCME has agreed to pay $2,500,000 in cash to acquire three leases including 44 wells and related equipment. In addition, BCME will pay $100,000 for an option to purchase an additional 11 leases with 47 associated wells and equipment under the same terms.
The Liberty package will increase total company reserves by an estimated 305,000 barrels (proven), representing over $13,000,000 in discounted present value. BCM Energy management is of the opinion that with further engineering and geologic review, more reserves can be established for this asset. Additionally, BCM Energy will incorporate Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technologies in Liberty Field with expectations to increase production above current forecasts.
Immediately after closing, BCM Energy plans to invest $400,000 in-field to exploit multiple behind-pipe opportunities in an effort to increase production. BCM Energy will then re-engineer associated proven reserves with its engineering and geologic consultants and continue to evaluate in-field opportunities, including drilling locations.
