S. Thornwell Project         
Cameron Parish, Louisiana         

The Thornwell Field Prospect is located in the northeast portion of Cameron Parish, which has had 166 gas/condensate wells successfully completed and produced.  Geologist John Van Fossen developed the prospect after several years of extensive study of the area, evaluating the specific potential of the South Thornwell Field.

As a result of this study, a broad area has been identified as potentially productive from the Discorbis Gravelli (Miocene) sands that occur between the depths of 10,300 and 10,600 feet. His study determined that this particular sand is developed in a series of buried sand channels trending NE-SW over a broad area, ranging from 5 to 35 feet in thickness. In the area under lease, it appears that there is at least one well that is a potential reentry for completion in the Discorbis sands. The prospect area has long been active in drilling for gas/condensate production from sands that occur at depths below our prospective zone.

Most of the wells drilled within the area of study have encountered our zone and it appears to be productive. It is anticipated that the initial flow rates on the well will be in the range of 2.5 to 3.5 mmcf/d with 20- 25 barrels of condensate per day (bc/d), with an ultimate recovery of 7+ billion cubic feet of gas (bcf) and 50,000 barrels of condensate (bc).
