Description

Should any Party elect not to participate in any Horizontal Exploratory Well, other than the Initial Well proposed under the terms of the Agreement, the non-participating Party agrees to farmout to the participating Parties its interest. Delaware Farm out — Horizontal Wells, also known as "Delaware Basin Farm out — Horizontal Well Drilling," is a specific drilling technique used in oil and gas exploration in the Delaware Basin region of the Permian Basin. It involves the process of acquiring undeveloped leases or acreage for drilling horizontal wells to tap into the vast hydrocarbon reserves found in the region. This drilling technique is particularly effective in unlocking the potential of the unconventional shale formations present in the Delaware Basin, maximizing production output while minimizing surface disturbance. The Delaware Basin, located primarily in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, is renowned for its rich hydrocarbon resources. The Farm out — Horizontal Wells method aims to efficiently extract oil and natural gas from these reserves by employing horizontal drilling techniques. Through the Delaware Farm out process, an oil and gas company obtains the rights to develop and drill on a particular section of land owned by another party. This agreement typically involves the exchange of lease rights or paying a percentage of production revenue as a consideration. This allows the drilling company to access and explore the hydrocarbon deposits in that specific area. Horizontal well drilling is a crucial aspect of this technique. Instead of drilling a conventional vertical well, which only accesses a limited portion of the reservoir, horizontal wells are drilled at an angle beneath the surface, accessing a larger area of the hydrocarbon-bearing rock. This methodology helps maximize production by increasing the contact area between the well bore and the reservoir, thereby enhancing the recovery of oil and gas. There are different types of Delaware Farm out — Horizontal Wells, categorized based on the specific rock formations targeted and the techniques used for extraction. Some key types include: 1. Wolf camp Shale Farm out — Horizontal Wells: This type focuses on accessing and extracting hydrocarbons from the Wolf camp Shale formation, which is one of the most prolific and economically viable reservoirs in the Delaware Basin. 2. Bone Spring Farm out — Horizontal Wells: Bone Spring is another significant shale formation in the Delaware Basin. This type of farm out drilling targets the Bone Spring reservoir to unlock its oil and gas potential. 3. Avalon Shale Farm out — Horizontal Wells: The Avalon Shale formation is an important unconventional reservoir in the Delaware Basin. This drilling technique aims to tap into the hydrocarbon resources trapped within the Avalon shale. 4. Leonard Shale Farm out — Horizontal Wells: The Leonard Shale is a rock formation known for its oil and gas-bearing potential. This type of farm out drilling specifically targets the Leonard Shale reservoir to extract maximum hydrocarbon reserves. 5. Strawberry Farm out — Horizontal Wells: This category focuses on drilling horizontal wells in the Strawberry formation, which is one of the oldest and largest oilfields in the Permian Basin. It offers tremendous potential for hydrocarbon extraction through the Farm out method. In summary, Delaware Farm out — Horizontal Wells is a drilling technique used in the Delaware Basin to access and extract oil and gas reserves from unconventional shale formations. It involves acquiring undeveloped acreage or lease rights and drilling horizontal wells to efficiently recover hydrocarbons. The targeted formations include Wolf camp Shale, Bone Spring, Avalon Shale, Leonard Shale, and Strawberry, each offering unique potential for oil and gas production.
