"Colombia Bets on Shale as Peace Talks Open Oil Frontiers"

Bloomberg:

A unit of Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) and state-controlled Ecopetrol SA were winners yesterday in the country’s first auction aimed at drawing investment in oil and natural gas found in shale rock formations...

Tuoreen huutokaupan tuloksia löytyy tästä. Tarjolla oli oikeuksia muihinkin kuin vain epätavanomaisen potentiaalin alueisiin. Heritage Oil & Gas näyttää olleen tarjoamassa useammastakin blokista. Heillä ei muistaakseni ole tällä hetkellä toimintaa Kolumbiassa. Aasialaisia ei juurikaan näy listalla, pl. ONGC, mikä on hieman yllättävää kun Sinopecilla ja korealaisilla on jo maassa tuotantoa.

"Northwest Territories oil play big as Bakken"

Shale oil play success hinges on strong crude pricing and infrastructure

Aiemmin: "Canol shale in NWT’s Central Mackenzie Valley game changer"

"Canol shale in NWT’s Central Mackenzie Valley game changer"

Free Republic:

In a straight line, they’re 4,200 miles apart. And they’re years apart in commercializing their resources. But, even if they’re not in the same geographical and time zone, the Canol shale in the Central Mackenzie Valley of the Northwest Territories and the heart of the Bakken in North Dakota have a common bloodline. The Bakken is already living proof of the success new technology has in spawning a new generation hydrocarbon basin. The Canol shale shares that ambition to become a game changer, turning Canada’s North into a major unconventional oil and natural gas producer...

Toi on niin pöhessä, että niin kiven pitää olla preemium versio Eagle Fordista jotta homma kannattaa.

Canacol Energy Ltd. and ExxonMobil Sign Agreement for Shale Oil Exploration Project in Colombia

Key terms and conditions

Pursuant to the terms of the FOA, ExxonMobil will carry the cost of the drilling and testing of up to three wells to test conventional and unconventional targets in the La Luna and Rosablanca formations, both proven oil source rocks in the area. The first two wells will be vertical wells, while the third well will possibly be a horizontal multi-stage fractured well. It is anticipated that prospective intervals of the La Luna and Rosablanca will be cored and logged within the first well, and stimulated and flow tested within the second well. Should ExxonMobil choose to proceed with a third well, it will possibly be a horizontal multi-stage fractured well. Under the terms of the agreement, ExxonMobil will pay 100% of the cost of the three wells, up to a cap of gross US$15 million for each of the first 2 wells, and a cap of gross US$ 17.5 million for the third well should it be a horizontal lateral well exceeding 4,000 feet in lateral length, and US$ 15 million should it be another vertical well. ExxonMobil will also pay Canacol US$ 2.2 million upon execution of the FOA for back-costs related to the acquisition of 3D seismic on the block in 2011. The total potential investment on the block is approximately US$ 50 million. In return, ExxonMobil shall earn 50% of Canacol's 40% interest in the contract. Vetra will remain as operator of VMM 2 during the exploration period and expects to spud the first exploration well in late 2012. The formal assignment of working interests as contemplated by the transaction, including Canacol's 20% interest, remain subject to the approval of the Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos (ANH) of Colombia.

Petrokonsultti AJM:n tammikuisesta esitelmästä:



Mielestäin lukemisen arvoinen presentaatio.

Muutamia muodostelmia joista joku saattaa olla se seuraava suuri epätavanomainen öljy/nesteresurssi: Utica Ohion seudulla(CHK?), Chainman Nevadassa(Cabot Oil & Gas), Smackover/BDL Mississipissä/Lousianassa/Arkansissa, Tuscaloosa Lousianassa/Mississipissä ja Muskwa Pohjois-Albertassa(EOG & Husky). EOG:n(?) ensimmäinen Muskwa-horisontaali, jonka IP oli 200 tynnyriä tuottaa ilmeisesti vieläkin kaupallisia määriä.
Montanan Heath-liusketta näyttää muutama taho yrittävän vieläkin saada tuottamaan, mutta tulokset ovat varsin heikkoja
