FTTN Evaluates Extension of Two Prolific Oil and Gas Reservoirs in West Texas

BRADENTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rising oil and gas energy company First Titan Corp. (OTCBB: FTTN) is exploring a potentially lucrative acquisition in oil rich West Texas. If FTTN is satisfied with its findings, the asset could provide a large-scale platform from which to continue the company's recent growth.

FTTN is now doing its due diligence on acreage located in Jeff Davis County within the Delaware Basin of West Texas. The project includes 35,000 contiguous acres, accessible drill sites, water wells for rig use and fracturing jobs, and partial 3D seismic coverage.


Based upon analysis conducted by Schlumberger Limited, the largest oilfield company in the world, the area holds 162 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE) per section (640 acres), which was derived using data from a well drilled in 2006, which included Schlumberger logs and rotary cores in the Avalon, Barnett and Woodford formations. The target formations range in depth from 6,000 feet to 9,000 feet. After application of a recovery factor of 4 percent, which is deemed appropriate for the area, given recoveries of other wells in the area, Schlumberger estimates a total of 6.48 MMBOE of recoverable reserves per section across all target formations.

To ascertain potential flow rates from new wells drilled on the acreage, NuTech was commissioned to conduct a study and estimated the Barnett formation would produce 6,500 BOE per day for a 10-day period, based on a modeled horizontal completion across 5,000 lateral feet with 17 pumping stages and three fracture points per stage. The estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) was calculated to be 625 MBOE for each Barnett well.

In the Avalon formation, NuTech calculated a flow rate of 2,500 BOE per day during a 10-day window, based on a modeled horizontal completion of 5,000 lateral feet with 12 pumping stages, four fracture initiation points per stage, and one additional pumping stage with two fracture initiation points. The EUR was calculated to be 250 MBOE for each Avalon well.

(NYS: CLR) , Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NYS: CHK) , SandRidge Energy Inc. (NYS: SD) and Ultra Petroleum Corp. (NYS: UPL) .
