RENO, Nev., Oct. 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FormCap Corp. ("FormCap") (OTCQB:FRMC) today announced that a technical study (the Technical Study) with respect to the acquisition of 1500 aces of oil leases in Cowley County Kansas (the Lands) is underway. The lands are located in Sections 4 and 5 Township 30 Range 6; and in the S1/2 of Section 13 in Township 31S Range 6. The study will evaluate the potential for early oil exploration on the Lands, focused on the Mississippian Formation.
Mr. Thomas Markham BSc. P Geol. will carry out the study. Mr. Markham is a professional geologist, with over 30 years of experience as a Petroleum Geologist specializing in the evaluation and development of oil and gas plays in the onshore United States. He received his Masters of Geology from Louisiana State University in 1976 and then pursued a career working with ARCO, BEPCO, Houston Oil and Minerals, and Tenneco, in technical positions of increasing responsibility. During this period, Tom managed exploration and development teams that discovered and developed more than 75 million net equivalent barrels of oil. Along with managerial skills, his geoscience specialties include: electric log analysis and interpretation; evaluation of depositional and diagenetic systems; exploitation of hydrocarbon reservoirs; and, definitive risk/reward economic evaluation of oil and gas projects. Tom has been published in the American Gas Journal and toured the former Soviet Union to review oil and gas assets. He also was a guest speaker at the American Association of Petroleum Landman's (AAPL) Seminars
Significant quantities of oil and gas have been discovered and produced in Cowley County in recent years. The prospects for oil production are excellent with multi-zone potential for both vertical and horizontal development. In addition to the Mississippian, zones producing in this area include the Layton, Lansing-Kansas City, Bartlesville, Stalnaker and the Arbuckle. Reservoir properties are excellent with good porosity and permeability in thicker accumulations of hydrocarbons. Total depths of approximately 4,000 feet provide drilling time of approximately seven (7) days with completed wells costing about $500,000 per vertical well.
FormCap is actively engaged in identifying, financing and developing oil and gas energy resource properties in North America, including the development of the Cowley County, Kansas, Mississippi Prospect in Kansas. FormCap continues to review additional resource properties that combine positive elements of short-term exploration and development costs with high potential for long-term success and financial return.
