ACTIVITY HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE DECEMBER 2015 QUARTER
Commenting on the Quarter, Chief Executive Officer, Brad Simmons says: "During the Quarter oil prices
declined rapidly and remained extremely volatile. TTE Petroleum Ltd (TTE or the Company) had gross oil production on the Allen Dome of 8,196 barrels at an average price of US$38.60 per barrel, down from 10,359 the previous quarter. Our production costs remain below $10 per barrel. Not letting current miserable market conditions spoil our enthusiasm, we see numerous opportunities becoming available as others are forced to quit assets. We remain excited now we have the assets, the people and further opportunities to drive growth through 2016."
Key Outcomes for the Quarter ending 31st December 2015 were:
The Company expanded it's holding to over 1500 net acres in the Markham Dome Field, located in Matagorda County, Texas. TTE previously announced in May 2015 it acquired approximately 844 net acres on the southern and southeastern flanks of Markham Dome. The additions recently acquired are on the eastern and southwestern flanks. The Company believes that this field has significant overlooked potential and, with the use of modern technology, a considerable amount of oil remains yet to be recovered from depths ranging from 1,100 feet to 5,000 feet across the dome.
TTE is currently reviewing a number of producing asset opportunities which are currently being
marketed at significant discounts to mid 2015.
The well was successfully completed and brought on production in the quarter. The Company has identified several drilling prospects on the Rosalee acreage, formerly described as the Perry Ranch, from its recent 3D seismic reprocessing analysis. TTE owns a 30% Working Interest in the initial test well and Gulf South 2015 Drilling Program owns a 70% Working Interest.
The Rosalee #40 was drilled to target depth however wireline logs indicated the well to be non- productive. The Rosalee #40 was a 5,400 foot test and the second well of TTE's 2015 joint development program with Gulf South.
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF QUARTER
effectively finalized the 2015 drill funding with the Rosalee #40 being the last funded well in the program. Gulf South paid 95% of the drilling costs of both the Rosalee 5150 and the Rosalee 40 to earn a 70% WI. The Company has a 30% working interest in the Rosalee #5150. Gulf South remains confident its 2016 program will provide new funding in the second quarter of 2016. The reduced 2015 funding has occurred due to a number of factors, but primarily due to the deteriorating market conditions and pending legal actions initiated by Gulf South with their prior operator.
The Company arranged funding with a UK based Institution to raise up to US$7,000,000 for acquisitions of leases and producing assets, via a WTI Bond. UK based DPJ Investments LLC (DPJ) and the Company entered into a terms sheet agreement for all US$7,000,000 through a West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Adjustable Rate Convertible Bond.
