Kodiak Energy, Inc.- Operations Update
September 19 2008 - 2:01AM
Marketwired
Kodiak Energy, Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KDK) (OTCBB: KDKN) ("Kodiak" or
the "Corporation"), is providing an operations update on its major
projects. All projects continue to be advanced with progress in
each area.
Exploration License 413 or 'Little Chicago' - Kodiak continues
to have productive negotiations with the beneficiaries of the land
claims in the Gwich'in and Sahtu settlement areas, and the access
and benefits agreements are expected in due course. In addition,
Kodiak has entered into negotiations with the regulatory bodies to
extend the exploration license. Upon receiving the final access and
benefits agreements, the drilling program will be developed based
on available equipment and seasonal constraints, and the necessary
license and permit applications will be submitted. The previous
Prospective Resource engineering report (Chapman Engineering dated
May 2008) placed an after risk Net Asset Value (discounted 15%) of
CAD$244,000,000.
Lucy - Kodiak and the other project partners have met and
approved the current development program, which is designed to
stimulate the Muskwa/Evie shale. Equipment is being sourced with
plans to complete the vertical shale gas fracture stimulation in Q4
2008. Production testing, which will include a multi-point flow and
build up test, will be completed after stimulation. This project
has the potential to yield short term cash flow or a capital
divestiture opportunity, which will then fund other
developments.
New Mexico - Kodiak has a land position of approximately 78,000
gross acres with key infrastructure located immediately adjacent or
within the Kodiak properties. The producing formations contain a
very high quality of 98.4% to 99.5% CO2 . The downhole pressures at
Sofia were lower than expected, and thus the projected reserves at
Sofia are less than anticipated. However, based on the additional
seismic completed in April 2008 along with subsequent analysis, the
CO2 is expected to be widely distributed over the held properties.
The Corporation has several other opportunities to increase its
land position. Since the New Mexico project is a major scale, long
term development, a 3 to 5 year development plan is currently being
evaluated.
The Kodiak New Mexico Project management discussion will be
posted on the Kodiak website on September 19, 2008.
Other - On September 12, 2008, Kodiak filed in The Court of
Queen's Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Calgary, a Statement
of Claim against Brink Energy Ltd. ("Brink") in which the
Corporation is claiming, among other things, repayment of the
CAD$1,000,000 secured loan the Corporation made to Brink in July
2008, including accrued interest thereon. The Statement of Claim
also includes the transfer to the Corporation of certain lands of
Brink, which is a block of leased mineral rights with an
approximate value of CAD$1,000,000. This Statement of Claim is to
satisfy Brink's Non-completion Fee relative to a proposed
transaction under the terms of which the Corporation and Brink
would have entered into a plan of arrangement, whereby the
Corporation would have acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Brink. This was previously announced in a press release.
Summary - Kodiak is a multi-project company. The Corporation has
a substantial land position with over 340,000 gross acres leased
for exploration and development in multiple jurisdictions and work
environments. Depending upon commodity prices and the Corporation's
financing activities, these diversified opportunities will allow
the Kodiak to best focus its efforts and assets on continued
exploration and development.
