Main Project:
Project Indian....>>>>>>
Project Indian is located in the Bitterwater sub-basin of the Salinas Basin, north of the giant San Ardo Field. It is a shallow anticline defined by surface geology and well control that may have over 100 million barrels of heavy (11-14 gravity API) oil in place. A well that was drilled and cored extensively by Chevron in 1976 (Tannehill Ranch Corehole #9) showed the oil is trapped in highly porous and permeable basal Pliocene sands at 300-500 feet deep with 300’ of claystone cap rock. This accumulation is a strong analog to another discovery made by the founders of CEL at Northwest San Ardo, albeit at a shallower depth.
Early 2012, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Citadel Exploration, LLC (“CEL”), entered into a lease for 688.71 acres of property with Vintage Petroleum, LLC (“Vintage”), a company owned by Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY), for the purposes and with the exclusive right of prospecting, exploring, mining, drilling and operating the leased premises for oil and gas.
CEI will develop Project Indian as a thermal recovery operation. The initial phase of evaluation will entail the drilling of 3 vertical wells in late 2012 and cyclic steaming to initiate production. Record high long term oil prices make a target of this size extremely attractive.
