CAVU Resources, Inc.: Oil Production, Operational and Corporate
Developments
TULSA, OK--(Marketwired - Mar 20, 2014) - CAVU Resources. Inc.
(OTC Pink: CAVR) (PINKSHEETS: CAVR) (CAVU), which trades as (OTC
Pink: CAVR) issued an update regarding key production, operational
and corporate developments.
CAVU Resources Two, LP,
Chisholm Lease - After weather related damage that caused
several technical issues, equipment failures and the lease to be
out of production, the company now has three wells back on line
with over 3,000 barrels of oil produced in the four months prior to
the shutdown. We have been replacing all damaged production
equipment and installing new state of the art monitoring and
security equipment with final repairs being completed this
week. While it is still too early to determine the stable flow
levels of the wells, initial flows have been relatively strong and
as production progresses we will provide shareholder updates. The
Chisholm B-3 turned out to be non productive and was
plugged.
Brown Lease, Nowata Oklahoma -
CAVU owns 50% of this multi-well project in the Bartlesville Zone
in northeast Oklahoma. We have spent the last five months
reworking and developing the existing 12 well lease; the project is
being developed in three phases. Phase I called for the rework of 6
gas and injection wells, and five of the wells are
completed. Four of these wells have been reworked and are
producing gas and one is a disposal well. Phase II calls for
the planned drilling program of 18 new oil wells with Phase III
converting 6 of the existing wells into injection wells with plans
to utilize an Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technology
protocol.
The first well of Phase II has
been drilled, however harsh weather conditions throughout the
Midwest forced a temporary shutdown in the Company's drilling
operations. The well has been cemented, and production casing
run, logged and perforated and a 450-barrel Frac was completed on
Friday. The initial results showed excellent porosity and with the
installation of the production equipment starting next week we will
see the initial oil production results over the next 30 days. With
the break in the weather, the project is back on-schedule with 4
Phase I wells currently producing gas at 30 to 40 MCF per day, and
18 additional Phase II oil wells forecasted to be operational in
the coming months. Current production follows a successful
revitalization program that includes access roads, tank battery and
well sites; repair or replacement of electrical systems;
installation of a triplex injection pump for proper wastewater
disposal; and completion of a Manual Integrity Test (MIT) required
for state inspection approval.
With our infrastructure now in
place and our Phase I wells producing, we move into Phase II and
III, where we will use proven injection methods to increase gas
production, and pressure up the oil zone to support the 18
additional wells planned.
The Bartlesville zone is a
sandstone layer that sourced up to 53,000 barrels of oil a day area
wide during its peak production in the late 1900s. While
concentrated production efforts by major oil companies has depleted
some of the oil and much of the gas drive, geological data supports
that much of the oil is still in place but will not move to the
producing well bores without some type of energy input. According
to Kim Drew, Consulting Geologist with CAVU Energy Services, Inc.,
"Recent core data of these old Bartlesville fields indicate that
only 10 to 30 percent of the original oil in place has been
produced by the initial production and years of slow pumping. The
shallow depth of the sand and lack of any drive mechanism has
caused from 70 to 90 percent of the oil to remain in place.
"The key to success in this area of Oklahoma is optimizing
production from the many hydrocarbon-bearing zones, which includes
the coal seams. With most wells encountering about a dozen zones
that have known production in this area, the drilling risk is
extremely low. Production rates in this area range from 2 to 5
barrels of oil per day (BOPD) per well. Initial flow rates can
be higher for a short duration before settling into this range with
the quality of crude being excellent (33° to 42° API oil). Natural
gas is the fallback position in this area due to shallow Excello
shale that blankets the area as do several methane gas bearing coal
seams. As such, natural gas is almost always produced in a well in
this area with production rates ranging from 5,000 to 200,000 cubic
feet of gas per day (5 to 200 MCFD).
"Since most of this gas is produced from coal seams, initial
production rates are actually lower and increase over the first few
months because coal seams must "dewater," where water in place in
the coal seam is brought to the surface freeing up the gas to begin
coming to surface through the well bore. As a result, a typical
scenario would be for a well to produce from a coal seam and after
dewatering for about a month to start giving up its natural gas.
The flow rate of between 950 to 1050 BTU gas will usually start
around 5 MCFD and increases as the water comes off with most wells
settling in around 30-50 MCFD. In the project area, there is an
estimated 98% completion rate and 100% discovery of gas, making it
one of the lowest risk exploration areas in the country."
Located in Nowata County, Oklahoma, this project is situated on
the Northeastern edge of the Northeast Oklahoma Shelf, which has
proven to be prolific in coal bed methane gas since it was
developed beginning in the early 1990s. The properties are
surrounded by leases operated by some of the major players in the
field such as Newfield Exploration, Mid-Continent, Inc., Energy
Quest Resources and Endeavor Energy.
FILO SWDW #1, LP
- We completed the initial work over of the Kansas lease, but the
existing well proved to be non productive and was plugged. We
currently are exploring better locations to which to move our
processing equipment. We have recently entered into negotiations to
acquire an existing commercial well that is in the newly active
Scoop Play in South Central Oklahoma. CAVU has invested $1
million in equipment and is working with private investors to
complete the funding required for this acquisition.
St. Louis Lease
- We recently surveyed the existing 19 well site and put together a
plan for reworking and developing the lease. This lease is in
the prolific Hunton oil-bearing zone and wells in the surrounding
leases have averaged as much as 60 barrels a day. CAVU is in
the process of forming a partnership to fund the development of
this lease.
Hogshooter Lease
- The Company sold this lease back to the original owners, as it
was viewed as a secondary, less productive property. This
transaction had a positive balance sheet effect of reducing debt
and settling any outstanding issues.
Envirotek/Energy
Revenue America, Inc. Note - As of December 31, 2013 due to
non-payment we have decided to write down our current note due from
the Energy Revenue America, Inc. to zero as it has been deemed
unrecoverable. We will continue to pursue all actions to monetize
our outstanding note either thru a discounted sale or exploring
partnerships to assist in recovering the assets; recapitalizing and
expanding the existing pipeline operations in Northeast
Oklahoma.
Capital Structure
Simplification - The Company has taken steps to simplify its
capital structure and reduce debt. Holders of approximately
$600,000 in notes have converted into limited partnership interests
in CAVU Resources Two, LP (Chisholm Lease). Secondly, the
Company has begun a staged process of eliminating its Preferred
Series B shares. The majority of the holders have exchanged
their Series B Preferred shares and all A and B shareholders have
canceled the $10.00 liquidation feature. The Company and Principals
intend to eliminate the remaining Series B Preferred shares in the
near future. The company plans to renegotiate its existing long and
short-term debt once its wells are producing positive cash flow to
eliminate the balance of the Company debt.
Billy Robinson, CAVU Chairman and President, stated, "We are
elated to be back in production after weather and technical issues
had us shut down since Thanksgiving on both the CAVU Two ("Chisholm
Lease") and the Brown lease with the final work being completed we
will have both of these in production. I believe we repaired
and replaced all affected equipment and our mechanical and advanced
monitoring system issues are behind us. We now have effective
and productive projects that will contribute to the further
development of CAVU."
Louis Silver, CAVU CEO, summarized, "Our management team has
been working diligently in three main areas -- oil and gas
operations, capital raising, and strategic focus. Great
progress has been made at CAVU Two and Brown lease, due to the
relentless hard work of Billy Robinson, who endured incredibly
difficult operating conditions and succeeded. We look forward
to Chisholm providing significant ongoing revenue
production. We are excited at the prospects of the new Brown
Lease, St. Louis Lease and our future Salt Water Disposal project.
Less important assets have been divested in order to focus our
human resources on more productive projects. We believe that
simplification of the capital structure will inure to the long-term
benefit of CAVU and its shareholders. Finally, we are
constantly involved in the process of securing capital funding for
our projects under the best possible terms and in a manner that
minimizes shareholder dilution. Rest assured that your
management team's goals are consistent with its shareholders."
