FARMINGTON, N.M., Dec. 2, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Biogenerics Limited, (Pink Sheets:BIGN) announced today that subsidiary company, WW Oil & Gas, Inc., has completed the acquisition of an additional 320 acre leasehold interest in the Johnson Anticline structure of the oil and gas rich San Juan Basin. The new acquisition doubles the 320 acres currently held to a total of 640 acres under control as part of the Company's Johnson Anticline oil and gas exploitation project.
The newly leased property contains a well drilled circa 1975 that encountered oil in five (5) separate formations from depths of 2,000 to 6,000 feet. In 1975 the price of oil was between $8 and $9 a barrel. With the price of San Juan Basin Sweet Crude now at nearly $60 per barrel, management believes that at least two (2) of the shallow formations (the Mesaverde and the Gallup formations) could potentially be capable of commercial production.
On an adjoining lease located on the flank of the Johnson Anticline structure, a well was completed in the shallow sands of the Mesaverde formation. That well had an initial flow rate of 119 BOPD with no artificial stimulation, and produced over twenty-seven thousand barrels of oil (27,000 + BO) during its production span. Therefore, it is management's belief that the new leasehold acreage, which is positioned directly over the Johnson Anticline, appears to contain a large proved, but underdeveloped oil reserve in the Mesaverde formation.
The Johnson Anticline is located approximately two miles south of the Rio Puerco Field, a field that produces from natural fractures in the Gallup Sandstone. Another abandoned well which is located directly over the Johnson Anticline encountered severe lost circulation in an oil bearing sand in the Gallup. Due to this event, it is very likely that the sands in this region contain natural fractures, so that prolific production may be possible from the Gallup formation. In 1984, when the Rio Puerco Field was discovered, the Denver Post reported flow rates of between 50 to 320 barrels of oil an hour from nearby wells.
Three (3) miles south of the Johnson Anticline on the Media Dome structure, there has been historic oil production from the Mesaverde, Gallup and Entrada formations, with the Entrada producing over one million barrels of oil (1,000,000 + BO). The Entrada accumulation covered an area of approximately 141 acres (Oil and Gas Fields of the Four Corners Area, Vol. II, pgx. 410-412). Based on seismic data, the top of the Johnson Anticline structure covers 600 acres, so there could be over four million barrels of recoverable Entrada oil (4,000,000 + BO) on the top of Johnson Anticline.
Standard spacing for oil wells in New Mexico is 40 acres. The leases that WW Oil & Gas has the right to drill and earn have room for up to sixteen (16) oil wells. Drilling is planned as soon as the new lease becomes effective, a well is permitted, and the necessary rig is available to commence drilling.
WW Oil & Gas may drill and earn interests in roughly half of the land directly over the Johnson Anticline structure and has the opportunity to develop proved reserves.
