Dear Xx.
Xxxx,
Based
upon our analysis of the geologic data covering the area of your Xxxxxxx Trail
Project, a Hunton Limestone Horizontal Development Drilling Project located in
Kingfisher County, Oklahoma, more specifically that area known as the Area of
Mutual Interest or AMI and more completely described as all of the sections in
the following Townships in Kingfisher County, Oklahoma:
18N-7W,
18N-8W. 19N-7W, 19N-8W
We
understand the main target of the Xxxxxxx Trail Project is the Hunton Limestone
formation with an estimated depth expected to encounter the top of the Hunton
Limestone at approximately 8,000 feet subsurface. We understand the development
of this formation is to be through horizontal drilling.
We would
like to participate for a 50% Working Interest Participation in the Project. We
will enter into a separate AMI agreement with Husky Ventures, Inc. attached
hereto as Schedule "A"
We agree
that Husky Ventures, Inc. will be the Operator for the drilling and management
of all xxxxx in the project. We understand that a Joint Operating Agreement
(JOA) has been negotiated to the satisfaction of both parties for each well in
the AMI and said JOA will be in the form of the JOA attached hereto as Schedule
"B". Each well within the AMI will have a separate JOA in the form of that
attached hereto as Schedule "B." We understand that the drilling, completion and
operations of all xxxxx will be conducted under the terms and conditions of the
Operating Agreement except when a conflict exists between the Operating
Agreement and this Letter Agreement. If such a conflict exists, then the terms
of this Letter Agreement shall apply.
We
understand for each new well we will be provided a copy of the survey in which
the surface location is to be staked and that a Title Opinion will be completed
prior to commencing operations on any new well.
We
understand that Husky and or assigns will receive a 2% ORRI on all leases taken.
The leases will be acquired at 81.25% NRI or higher. We understand that the Net
Revenue Interest being delivered to us will be 2% less, proportionately reduced,
than the actual leased or contracted NRI and within 30 days of acquiring any
lease within the AMI we will be provided a recordable assignment of our 50%
undivided interest in said lease.
We
understand the scope of drilling operations in the first well to include the
following work:
The
initial well will be drilled to sufficient true vertical depth (TVD) to
encounter the Hunton Limestone formation and be drilled horizontally, to a
predetermined total measured depth, cased, tested and put into production. We
are to be provided an updated AFE within 30 days of drilling the first well in
the AMI and to be provided actual costs of drilling within 60 days after
releasing the rig (less completion costs) and within 60 days after completion
(all costs).
During
the drilling and completion process on all xxxxx, we will receive daily reports
via email, we will have full access to the rig floor and all data obtained from
the drilling and testing of the open hole. We understand that once the well is
drilled you will send us a copy of the Mud Logs and Open Hole Logs along with a
geologic analysis.
According
to the AFE the estimated amount for participation for each 1% of the Working
Interest for the drilling and completion of the first well is $30,064.05
including Husky's carry. We understand the AFE is an Estimate of the drilling
and completion costs for this work. We agree to pay our proportionate share of
the Actual Drilling and Completion Expenses to include a 18.5% Carried Working
Interests on the initial xxxxx and 18.5% Carried Working Interest on all
remaining production xxxxx in the project, within 30 days prior to spud. The
Canied Working Interest will include all stages of completion in each horizontal
bore. We understand that if there is a cost underage, the savings will he
refunded to us. If there is a cost overage, we agree to pay our portion within
30 days of receipt of invoice.
All
leases taken in the Area of Mutual Interest will be billed to the participants
at cost which includes lease costs, land man costs and any associated legal
costs including 18.5% Carried Interest and $15.00 per acre as a management fee.
The total cost is estimated to be $130.00 per acre.
In the
event that existing production is encountered in the Area of Mutual Interest, we
will be offered the option to purchase our portion of that interest at cost with
no carried interest.
We
warrant that we are participating with full knowledge of the risks involved in
oil and gas exploration and drilling operations. We warrant that we are
financially responsible and able to withstand the entire loss of our investment in
this project and Hold Husky Ventures, Inc. Harmless for the results and for all
matters pertaining to the offering of this Private Agreement. We agree that this
Letter Agreement be binding on successors and assigns and is performable in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma under the laws of the State of Oklahoma.
We
understand the terms are as follows for each 1% Working Interest

include the first 5,000 acres of leases is estimated to be
