LAKE LONG WELL SPUDS
Parker Rig 55-B arrived at the Lake Long, Lafourche Parish, South Louisiana on Monday 2
August 2004 and drilling operations have now commenced with the driving of conductor pipe
to 321 feet.
The barge rig will be used to drill the SL 328 #1 well, a proposed 15,500 foot true vertical
depth test of the Lake Long Deep Prospect. The well will be operated by Palace Operation
Company, of Tulsa, Oklahoma under a turnkey contract with Applied Drilling Technology
Inc, a GlobalSantaFe Company.
The proposed deep well will be directionally drilled
to test the Cib. Op. interval below 13,900 feet. The
well has also been designed to evaluate shallower
objectives at the 6900 Sand, Krumbhaar and Upper,
Middle and Lower Hollywood intervals. The well
is likely to take between 70 and 90 days.
Based on the Kent Bayou Field analogue, sand pay
thicknesses exceeding 500 feet are possible at the
Cib. Op. interval at Lake Long. The field operator,
Kriti Exploration Inc has estimated the potential
reserves of the prospect to be in the order of 766
billion cubic feet of gas equivalent.
With Henry Hub gas prices at US$5.95 per
thousand cubic feet, a prospect of this magnitude
has the potential to generate a significant future
cash flow stream with a meaningful impact on a
company the size of FAR.
FAR will participate in the Lake Long Deep Test well by paying 5 percent of the well (before
completion) reducing to a working interest of 4.09375 percent (after completion). All
working interests are subject to State and other minor royalties. Other participants are non
listed entities, Kriti Exploration Inc and Palace Exploration Company both based in North
America.
To date, FAR has participated in four wells within the field, all of which have resulted in
commercial production. Existing facilities within Lake Long will enable early sales into the
central production system with Columbia gas and Amoco being the ultimate product
purchasers, although field capacity would need to be upgraded in the event of a large gas
discovery.
