INDUSTRY TRENDS |
|
The rising price of crude oil and of natural gas renders a positive outlook for most domestic Exploration &Production companies who are leveraged to crude oil and natural gas in their asset mix. |
|
In recent years, advanced, innovative technology on the exploration side of the Exploration & Production business has resulted in a sharp upswing in discovery rates. |
|
Today, approximately eighty-five percent of newly drilled wells find hydrocarbons.
|

> Project No. 2 (see below for more description)
Province Southeast Alberta Shallow Gas Prospect |
|
Recent Developments June 15 |
|
The first well has been successfully drilled, cased and tested a 48 hr test showed excellent results in the primary target zone. From the drilling logs, there is at least one additional zone with good gas pay. |
|
Expected risked results are production rates of up to 0.75 to 2 MMcf/d per well . |
|
This well will be tied in as soon as possible, and additional drilling locations developed. Potentially 4 per section for a total of 8.
|
|
GAS & OIL PROSPECTS |
|
Project No.1 -
Montana - Shallow Gas/Oil Prospect |
|
(signed off and initial funding in place) |
|
Kodiak has signed a farmin/JV on 135,000 acres
|
|
An extensive gravity acquisition program revealed that the acreage is highly prospective for natural gas from multiple formations, with the primary objective being the Sawtooth Formation. On the basis of the gravity data, a 25 mile 2D seismic program has been performed prior to undertaking a 4 well drilling program. |
|
Kodiak Petroleum (Montana) Inc. has committed to pay 100% of the capital costs of the seismic and 3-4 well drilling program of the initial phase. The expected initial gross production rates are 0.5 - 1.0 MMcf/d per well with recoverable gross reserves of 2 to 5 Bcf per well. |
|
Seismic acquisition has been completed with full analysis underway. 3 drill locations have been identified by the analysis. |
|
Drilling to commence Q2 2006 |
|
Subsequent to the drilling, any successful wells will be tied into existing facilities in the third quarter of 2006.
|
|
Project No. 2
Province Southeast Alberta Shallow Gas Prospect |
|
(signed off and initial funding in place) |
|
Kodiak Energy Inc, in conjunction with a JV partner, has successfully bid and paid for 2 sections at a recent land sale. 2D seismic was acquired. |
|

|
The first well has been successfully drilled, cased and tested a 48 hr test showed excellent results in the primary target zone. From the drilling logs, there is at least one additional zone with good gas pay. |
|
Expected risked results are production rates of up to 0.75 to 2 MMcf/d per well . |

|
|
Project No. 3
Manyberries - Southeast Alberta Shallow Gas Prospect |
|
(signed off and initial funding in place) |
|
Recent Development, April 25:
|
|
. Two wells were drilled and cased to the 2d whitespec. Initial logs review, show good gas potential in multiple zones. The wells will be completed, stimulated and tested in Q2 to further evaluate the potential reservoir. This will be done in conjunction with an evaluation program on the existing well on the property. |
|
. After reviewing the results, the company is evaluating a seismic program to maximize results from succeeding drill programs planned for Q4, 2006. An additional 3-5 well drilling program will be undertaken during the winter of 2006/07 |
|
. Expects tie in to gas lines in the 2d quarter 2007 |
|
Kodiak Petroleum ULC farmed in on 9 sections of contiguous, undeveloped land in the extreme southeast of Alberta, which are prospective for oil and natural gas in multiple formations. The land block is in close proximity to a mature field that has produced several million barrels of oil as well as newly developing shallow gas plays. |
|
A farm in agreement has been negotiated by Kodiak to pay outstanding licensing fees, and initiate a well shallow gas drilling program in Q1 & Q2, 2006. 2 wells were drilled and cased in March 2006. Log analysis shows several potential gas zones suitable for development. Kodiak will earn a 100% working interest and become operator of the properties in return for a gross overriding royalty. |
|
An economic base will be then established to further develop the properties with facilities and pipelines. |
|
Future development will include infill shallow gas drilling,3D seismic to prove the existence of deeper oil plays and the development of those reserves. |
|
Expected risked results are Net production rates of up to .5 MMcf/d per well and recoverable reserves of up to 2 Bcf per well
|
|
Project No 4.
Uinta Basin - Utah Development Prospect |
|
See Recent Developments above |
|
Kodiak Prepares for Closing of Joint Venture to Acquire Over 800 Million Proven and Probable Reserves of Heavy Oil in the Uinta Basin Heavy Oil Project Net participation by Kodiak 22% |
|
Kodiak will spend $2,000,000.00 to cover the costs of preliminary engineering , geological work, reports and studies on the Utah assets. This work should take 18 to 24 months to complete. Upon completion of these studies and work, Kodiak will issue $2,000,000 payable in common shares of the company to Reibanc USA, Inc. When detailed design, construction and operations commences Kodiak will pay its proportionate share of the costs of the project. |
|
The leases are estimated to contain a drill proven heavy oil sand reserve of 100 million barrels and a probable heavy oil sand reserve of 700 million barrels. |
|
The gravity of Utah heavy oil ranges from 8 degrees to 14 degrees API, which is comparable to that of the Athabasca oil sands of Alberta. Recent improvements in handling and refining heavy oil are expanding its marketability. |
|
Specifically, the Utah heavy oil has an important quality advantage: a sulphur content of only 0.4% to 0.7%, compared to a typical sulphur content of 4.8% for Athabasca heavy oil. This low sulphur content will make it easier to upgrade and to market. |
|
This strategic partnership agreement aligns two management teams with over 200 years of combined oil and gas work experience as well as production facilities and infrastructure expertise.
|
|
Uinta Production Plan |
|
The JV partner plans to upgrade and produce the Uinta heavy oil using a modern in-situ combustion or "fire flood" recovery process with a Phase I production rate of 10,000 barrels of oil per day. Initial production is scheduled for the first quarter of 2008. |
|
Subject to confirming probable reserves, a longer-term target of 50,000 bbl/d is envisaged. The JV partner acquired two mineral leases in the heart of the Asphalt Ridge area near Vernal. |
|
Subject to successful conclusion of preliminary studies, as well as raising an estimated $70 million for project financing, drilling and construction are planned to commence during the third quarter of 2006 with twenty wells drilled during the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, with completion scheduled during the second quarter of 2007 and the start of production during the fourth quarter of 2007. |
|
The Heavy Oil JV is designed to upgrade and produce the Uinta heavy oil deposit using modern in-situ combustion recovery methods with a Phase I production rate of 10,000 barrels of oil per day and operation costs of approx. $12 per barrel
|
|
Potential upcoming projects |
|
Kodiak is also negotiating participation in a development program on an immediately adjoining 9,600 undeveloped acres in Eagle Butte in Southeast Alberta. This development program is scheduled for the second half of 2006. |
