The Northwest Rogers and Boot Hill Field’s are located in LaSalle Parish, Louisiana approximately 2 miles West of Catahoula Lake and out of the fair way of hurricanes that usually hit the coast of Louisiana around summer and autumn. It is important to note that no damage was suffered from the devastation of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The wells and facilities are located on land and are accessed by road.
Wells and Reserves
The Northwest Rogers Field is comprised of new leases taken by Belle Exploration covering approximately +/-320 acres.
The Boot Hill Field is comprised of new leases taken by Belle Exploration covering approximately +/-240 acres.
Current production is averaging 120 BOPD in Northwest Rogers and 81 BOPD in Boot Hill for a combined total of ~201 BOPD gross. All gas produced is used in lease operations.
There are over six identified drilling locations for proved reserves (PUDs);
Excellent subsurface well control (there is no seismic data available).
History
Belle Exploration discovered the Northwest Rogers Field in July of 2002. The field produces from a shallow cockfield Sand between 1,430’ and 1,460’. The Boot Hill Field was also discovered by Belle, but was found earlier in 2001. Rogers Field, an adjacent field to the Northwest Rogers field and found just southeast of the existing production, has been producing since the 1950’s. Hunt Oil Company has been active in this area since the 1940’s and have been in some sands for 30 to 40 years. Belle acquired its interests in the Northwest Rogers Field through acquisition of new leases. Starting in July 2002, Belle drilled and completed its first well, the Northwest Rogers No.1. Belle has drilled thirteen subsequent wells, five of which are producers. All wells were drilled on the basis of subsurface data.
