FTTN: Smaller Producers Could Make Good Targets for Enhanced Oil Recovery
FTTN: Smaller Producers Could Make Good Targets for Enhanced Oil Recovery.
About this update from Globestar Therapeutics Corporation
[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n With the price of oil reaching new lows daily, the nation’s smallest oil \n producers are considering shutting in their wells and potentially losing \n their mineral rights. First Titan Corp. (OTCQB: FTTN) believes these \n producers would make ideal candidates for the enhanced oil recovery \n (EOR) business the \n company is currently studying.\n \n \n Operators of marginal wells – older, declining wells that produce \n relatively small amounts of crude per day – are \n struggling in this low-price environment. Their wells frequently \n don’t produce enough to justify their expense in the current \n environment. So the operators shut down production to save money, but \n that comes at a risk. In many states, an operator can only idle their \n well for up to 90 days before losing mineral rights.\n \n \n “We want to offer these operators a low-cost, affordable EOR service,” \n said FTTN CEO Sydney Jim. “This could help them increase output to make \n the well cost-effective to remain in production and preserve their \n mineral rights. This concept represents an underserved market with \n little competition that could help us generate additional revenues.”\n \n \n There are more \n than 400,000 such wells in the U.S. – 10 percent of the nation’s \n total oil production. In 2012, lost production from idled wells totaled \n more than $620 million.\n \n \n Meanwhile, a recent report forecasted the EOR market to grow at a \n robust 16.9 percent rate by 2019.\n \n \n FTTN is building a competitive portfolio of oil and gas properties \n alongside companies such as Lucas Energy, Inc. (LEI), \n Earthstone Energy, Inc. (ESTE), \n Fieldpoint Petroleum Corp. (FPP) \n and Evolution Petroleum Corp. (EPM).\n \n \n For more information on FTTN’s oil and gas projects, please visit www.firsttitanenergy.com.\n \n \n About First Titan Corp.\n \n \n First Titan Corp., through its wholly owned subsidiary, First Titan \n Energy, LLC, is committed to the exploration and development of oil and \n natural gas resources around the globe.
