Recently, Exxon Mobil bought XTO Energy for $31 billion. This acquisition was the largest U.S. energy takeover since Houston-based Conoco-Phillips acquired Burlington Resources. Exxon's acquisition of XTO Energy in December 2009 was largely in part for XTO's significant Permian Basin assets. Recent M&A activity in the Permian Basin highlights the growing importance of this historically prolific, domestic source of energy. Shortly after Exxon's takeover of XTO, a Bloomberg article on December 14th, 2009, reported that the Exxon acquisition may have signaled a wave of new acquisitions referencing Occidental Petroleum's purchase of Plains Exploration & Production's interest in the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico, as well as their Piceance Basin assets of Colorado for $1.25 billion. Likewise, SandRidge Energy recently acquired Forest Oil's Permian Basin assets for $800 million. The Permian Basin's development history and stable, long-life production is one of the main reasons FormCap has secured the Weber City Prospect acreage.
FormCap holds 100% Working Interest (80% Net Revenue Interest) in the 4,900 acre Weber City Prospect located in Curry County, New Mexico. These leases have been assigned and are duly recorded with initial 5 year terms. The Company has completed its registration to conduct business in the State of New Mexico and is in the process of establishing itself as Operator. The Company plans to drill an initial 7,000 foot well to test four potentially productive hydrocarbon zones; the San Andres, Clearfork, Wolfcamp and Cisco formations. Approximately 100 wells (based on 40 acre spacing) could be drilled on the Prospect. It is estimated that these leases could contain over 220 million barrels of oil in a successful case. Finally, the Company is making its 15c-211 filing for listing on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
