FOOTHILLS EXPLORATION, INC. (OTCMKTS:FTXP) Files An 8-K Regulation FD Disclosure
ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
Foothills Exploration, LLC (the “Company”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Foothills Exploration, Inc. (“FTXP”), intends to meet with certain accredited investors during the month of February to review an opportunity being made available in connection with a proposed asset acquisition in the Green River Basin, Wyoming.
The proposed asset acquisition consists of 22 gas wells (the “Gas Wells”) together with approximately 18,000 acres. The Gas Wells are stripper wells with current aggregate production of approximately 900 MCF per day. The asset has infrastructure in-place and delivers gas into the CIG Interstate Pipeline. The asset also comes with a contract that allows selling gas to a coal mine for approximately $2.50/MMBtu. The acreage position consists of approximately 14,584 acres, which the Company has identified as core. The Company believes that the purchase price of the asset, if obtained and closed, can be viewed as being at a discount to total Proved Developed Reserves PV-9 value of $2,207,000 (at $3.00 natural gas prices). The Company made a nonrefundable deposit on the asset.
The assets are reported to have a total of 3.4 billion cubic feet (BCF) of Net Proved Developed Producing Gas Reserves and 4.1 BCF of Proved Undeveloped Reserves, with an undiscounted value of about $3,547,000. There are also seven Proved Undeveloped locations (consisting of 4 “new drills” and three recompletions). If closed, the Company believes that future upside development potential amounting to about 4.1 BCF in PUD Reserves may be unlocked, depending on the availability of funding or joint venture partners, as to any of which no assurance can be given. Approximately 80% of the 18,000 gross acres remains unexplored. The Company believes that 17 of the Gas Wells have the potential to be optimized, which could result in production increases of up to 50% from current levels of production. The acreage is subject to certain depth restrictions. The assets currently generate gross revenues of over $1,000,000 annually before royalties, interest, taxes, and lease operating expenses. The Company anticipates initial operating margins of about 42%, which may be subject to increase pending further investment and implementation of possible operating efficiencies.
The Company will look to finance the acquisition through a combination of (i) convertible debt, (ii) equity, which may consist of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, as well as (iii) joint ventures or partnerships with investors upon terms to be finalized. No assurance can be given that the Company can complete the acquisition.
