Contango Oil & Gas Company, based in Houston, Texas, is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, exploitation and production of crude oil and natural gas properties offshore in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico and in the onshore Texas Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States.
During the fourth quarter of 2014, we spud our first well in Natrona County, Wyoming (FRAMS Project) targeting the Mowry Shale, where we have the right to earn approximately 69,900 net acres.
During the first quarter of 2015, we spud our first well in Weston County, Wyoming (N. Cheyenne Project) targeting the Muddy Sandstone formation, where we have the right to earn approximately 35,000 net acres.
For 2015, we will finalize these wells and evaluate their results for a number of months to determine future drilling plans for these areas.
During 2014, we drilled 39 onshore wells in Texas, which included 18 wells targeting the Woodbine formation in Southeast Texas; 14 wells targeting the Buda formation in South Texas; four wells in our Elm Hill project; two wells targeting the James Lime formation in San Augustine County, Texas; and one well drilled as a vertical pilot well to test the Eagle Ford and other formations in South Texas.
Of these 39 wells, 26 were on production by December 31, 2014. For 2015, we will place 11 more of these wells on production and drill two to three additional wells, including a fifth in our Elm Hill project.
Our Gulf of Mexico assets currently account for 61% of our production, 52% of our reserves, and 48% of our revenues.
During 2014, we installed a turbine type compressor of sufficient capacity, based on normal production decline rates, to service all ten Dutch and Mary Rose wells at our Eugene Island 11 platform.
For 2015 and beyond, we have chosen to focus our capital budget on our onshore properties, due to our goal of limiting exploratory risk.
