Doral Energy Corp. Closes Eddy County, New Mexico Acquisition
* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
MIDLAND, TEXAS, Oct 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
Doral Energy Corp. (OTCBB: DRLY) ("Doral" or "the Company"), announced
today that its subsidiary, Doral West Corp. ("Doral West") has closed an
acquisition ("the Acquisition") with Blugrass Energy, Inc. ("Blugrass")
and acquired a 40.0% working interest ("WI") in all leases owned by
Blugrass in and around the Cave Pool Unit located in Eddy County, New
Mexico (the "Cave Pool Unit properties"), effective October 12, 2009.
Blugrass Energy and Doral West now own 60% and 40% working interests,
respectively, in the approximately 2,800 acres of the Cave Pool Unit
properties, located approximately 5 miles northwest of Loco Hills, NM.
Doral Energy Corp. will be the Operator of the Cave Pool Unit properties.
As consideration for this transaction, Doral has agreed to be responsible
for acquiring lease title opinions for the leases, having an initial
independent third-party reserve report prepared for the Acquisition
properties, and share proprietary geological and engineering data and
information with Blugrass to enhance the redevelopment of the Cave Pool
Unit properties. With this Acquisition, Doral Energy Corp. now owns a
leasehold position of approximately 10,600 gross acres (8,920 net acres)
in Eddy County, New Mexico.
The Cave Pool Unit properties are adjacent to 3 leases owned and operated
by Doral which produce from 6 wells in the Grayburg and San Andres
formations and contain 9 proved undeveloped ("PUD") drilling locations in
the Square Lake Field. The Cave Pool Unit properties currently produce
approximately 10 BOEPD (barrels of oil equivalent per day) from a total
of 39 wells which were drilled on 40-acre well spacing in the Grayburg
formation of the Grayburg Jackson Pool. Currently 10 of these wells have
been identified for mechanical repair jobs and will be reworked by Doral
Energy in the near future, adding to the daily production from the
properties. A redevelopment of the Cave Pool Unit as a 20-acre 5-spot
Grayburg waterflood project could potentially add approximately 100
development drilling locations and potential gross reserves in excess of
3.0 million barrels of oil equivalent.
H. Patrick Seale, President and Chief Operating Officer of Doral, states,
"Doral Energy is very pleased to successfully close this Acquisition
quickly with our new partner, Blugrass Energy. These properties fit well
within our existing Eddy County properties and will allow Doral to
operate the Cave Pool Unit wells very economically and efficiently along
with our existing 186 wells in the Artesia-Vacuum Trend. The exploitation
and redevelopment of the Cave Pool Unit properties should be being very
beneficial to both Doral Energy and Blugrass Energy."
About Doral Energy Corp.
Doral Energy Corp. (OTCBB: DRLY) is an oil and gas exploitation and
production company headquartered in Midland, Texas. Doral Energy Corp.'s
strategy is to grow a portfolio of under-developed production and
exploitation assets with the potential for generating near-term increases
in existing production through operational improvements, and longer-term
development of proved undeveloped reserves by infill drilling. Doral
focuses on identifying acquisitions that generate immediate cash flow
from production, but which also have strong proved developed
non-producing and proved undeveloped reserves that can be tapped for
significant growth. The prolific Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico is
the geographic region of focus for the Company's future acquisition
activity. Doral's first producing assets, the Hanson Properties in Eddy
County, New Mexico, located in the northwestern Permian Basin of New
Mexico, are currently producing 135 BOEPD.
