Tall Pines #1 Woodbine Program and WellBOPD = Barrels of oil per day; MCF = Thousand cubic feet of natural gas also the standard unit for gas sales; MCFPD = Thousand cubic feet of natural gas per day . Glossary. 1/10/2007 We are waiting to see the results of the recompletion in the Mid-Cox/Wilcox on the Lumberjack before we take any additional actions on the Tall Pines 10/26/2006 The logs indicate that the Wilcox section has protentially productive sands. The Lumberjack will be tested first since it already has a pipeline in place. 10/10/2006 Scheduling logging of Wilcox zone within next 4 weeks. 4/13/2006 The well's productivity is not yet established. Evaluation of alternatives continues. The Watson backup well has been drilled and was on production at about 150 BOPD February. Normally the Watson well would have begun paying in April, but due to some delays in documentation, both February and March will be paid in May. 2/21/2006 Coiled tubing unit cleaned out vertical well bore of drilling mud , but declined to insert the unit into the laterals to clean out the mud from the laterals. A workover rig is going to be brought in to clean out the laterals so the the well's productivity can be properly tested. 2/7/2006 Coiled tubing unit on location. In process of hooking upto well, leakage occurred in valve, requiring a change out of the tree on the well. 2/2/2006 Coiled tubing unit scheduled to arrive on 2/3 or 2/4 to clean out drilling mud so that the well can be production tested. 1/3/2006 Finished drilling south lateral, set liner in lateral, running production tubing 12/21/2005 North lateral completed, drilling curve for south lateral. 12/12/2005 Drilling north lateral at about 3800 feet. 12/8/2005 Drilling north lateral at about 2,600 feet. Tripping back into hole after changing mud motor. 12/3/2005 Drilling at about 2,000 feet into north lateral. 11/28/2005 Resumed drilling lateral at aroudn1600 feet. Have had flares of up to 30 feet. 11/23/2005 Drilling about 1,000 feet into the north lateral (just into the Gore Sorber green colored, high readings area) with 13.3 lb. mud had 6-8 foot flare, mud motor failed. While pulling out of hole to change mud motors, the well began to flow. Shut in well in order to control. Built pressure up to 16 psi before we were able circulate enough heavier mud into the well bore to kill the flow. 11/16/2005 Completing curve, preparing to start lateral. 11/11/2005 Drilling curve for lateral. 11/7/2005 Set new whipstock, milling new window. 11/5/2005 During the cutting of the window, the whipstock was also partly milled down, resulting in a smaller window than necessary and damaging the whipstock such that it could not be used for drilling the curve and laterals. As a result, another whipstock has been inserted above the first , and a new window being cut . 10/24/2005 Set bridge plug over Woodbine formation, cleaned up hole, in process of setting whipstock near top of Austin Chalk formation so that window can be cut to enable the beginning of the drilling of the curve. 10/17/2005 The well was drilled into and through the Woodbine formation on Friday and logged on Saturday. The log showed insufficient sand or porosity for the Woodbine zone to be commercial. The well will be plugged back to the Austin Chalk zone, a whipstock set and two laterals will be drilled in the Austin Chalk zone. In place of the Tyler County Woodbine well which was unsuccessful, a horizontal Woodbine well will be drilled in Madison County , as is outlined in the Private Placement Memorandum. 10/4/2005 Finished drilling to the base of the Austin Chalk formation at approximately 14,200 feet. Cleaning up well bore to log the Austin Chalk formation, insert, and cement in place 7-5/8 inch intermediate casing through the Austin Chalk formation. 9/28/2005 The crews have returned to both drilling rigs and operations have resumed. The Cruse and Stocker wells were shut in for the hurricane's approach. Rita left the roads littered with trees and large branches that blocked the roads to and from the wells. Because their was no gasoline in Woodville, we had to ship a 500 gallon tank of gasoline to our pumpers there to enable them to start clearing the roads to the locations and the locations themselves, so that the wells can be place back on production. Hurricane Rita - Timberwolf and Tall Pines drilling rigs were shut down and secured for the storm. The Woodville area on which we are drilling was in the direct path of the storm while it was still at hurricane force, about 25 wiles west of Jasper Texas. Fortunately, the rigs were not damaged, and, although there are a lot of broken tree limbs scattered about the location. the local community is without power, but we have our own generators for use on the location. Many of the incoming roads were initially blocked by downed trees and power lines, but they are being cleaned up, and the roads are opening. The rig crews generally live in the Beaumont - Port Arthur area, which is without power or phone service, and as a result, the drilling companies have not yet been able to locate their crews. It is presumed that they evacuated the area in accordance with instruction from state and FEMA directives, and will check in when they have returned. It is anticipated that operations can resume around the end of the week. Completion of the Timberwolf also awaits the final string of casing being delivered from Houston, which will require the return of drivers, and personnel to load the casing on trucks, as well as clearing of roads and availability of fuel. it is hoped that this operation can be completed around by this weekend as well. 9/21/2005 Starting to drill into the Austin Chalk formation. Anticipate finishing that phase of drilling by Friday or Saturday, followed by logging that phase of the well bore, followed by setting the 7-5/8" intermediate casing through the Austin Chalk formation, and cementing it in. Approximately 24 hours after cementing the casing, the cement will be drilled out and the well bore will be extended into the target Woodbine formation. Approximately a week later, it is anticipated that the formation, after being drilled, can be logged, followed by inserting and cementing in the liner. 9/19/2005 drilled to 12,833; inserted intermediate casing to 12,833, initiating cementing of intermediate string. 9/12/2005 Drilling 12,035 feet. 9/8/2005 Drilled to 11,293 feet, lost cutter on bit, tripped out for bit change, tripping back in hole to resume drilling. 9/1/2005 After drilling to 9,310 feet, tripping out to change drill bits. 8/29/2005 We are currently at about 6,100' at report time this morning. We are still experiencing "technical difficulties" with the satellite system used for well reports sent by e-mail, Terry is working with the company responsible for the system and we are told it should be corrected very soon. In the mean time Melissa is sending out brief drilling updates on the well. We should be just getting in to the sands of the Wilcox Formation, we'll put mud loggers on at about 8,000'. Our first casing point will be at the top of the Navarro Formation and that should be at around 12,800'. The top of the Austin Chalk should be around 13,890' and the base Austin Chalk or top Woodbine is expected at 14,550'. 8/26/2005 The Tall Pines was spudded on 8/20/05. Surface was drilled to 1650’ and 13-3/8” casing run and cemented on Tuesday. Patterson has had two days down time attempting to get their BOP stack to test and after finally getting a test, now we cannot get the ware bushing to go through the Hydril BOP. We decided last night to drill the shoe out @ 1650, perform our show test and drill 200’ of formation. This was accomplished without any problems and at this time we are back out of the hole and Patterson is re-building the Hydril BOP, which will take at least 8 hours today. After the Hydril is repaired we will run back to bottom and begin drilling. 8/16/2005 Rig is moving onto location, and is expected to be rigged up and drilling by this coming weekend. 8/8/2005 While the rig was rigging down at the prior well, that well experienced a significant problem with an apparent hole in the well's casing. The rig set back up to enable the repair of the well bore and casing. It will now be rigging down this weekend and begin moving in to our location. 8/4/2005 Patterson Drilling rig scheduled to drill Tall Pines has completed its prior well, and is rigging down to move to the Tall Pines location.
