Tekton Energy - successful oil producer in the USA

The US subsidiary of Deutsche Rohstoff, Tekton Energy, currently holds 4.095 acres (approx. 1.657 hectares) of license areas in the Wattenbergfeld in Colorado. The company, which was founded in 2011 with the experienced management team, initially began to develop the areas with 9 vertical wells in February. All wells were successful and produce oil & gas.

During the year, 2011 and strengthened since 2012, the two largest Wattenberg-based oil companies, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and Noble Energy, Inc., published results from horizontal wells tested in the Wattenberg field.

In February 2013 Tekton therefore began with the first two horizontal bores. The two holes were completed within the planned timeframe of four weeks, and also within the budget of a total of USD 9 million. Completion of the two holes occurred during the April 2013. Both holes were found. The very successful test promotion began at the end of April.

Both holes together produced an average of 1.228 BOE in May, which translates into net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of 55.000 USD daily.

Due to the very good results, Tekton is now planning to auction further 80 wells for the further development of the areas. Of the drillings, tecton "net" 60 are due, as partners are involved in some drilling, but also co-finance them accordingly.

On the basis of previous drilling and knowledge of geology, an independent expert opinion of the renowned consulting firm Ryder Scott has already confirmed the attractiveness of the drilling project:

The table shows the estimated net reserves and key income figures from the categories “Proved”, “Probable” and “Possible” according to the reserve report. According to the appraisal, the stated reserves result in sales of USD 2,1 billion at full development of the areas, based on an assumed oil price of USD 82,49 per barrel and a gas price of USD 3,90 per thousand cubic feet. Future net income, defined as sales minus royalties from landowners, development costs including drilling and operating costs as well as local, sales-related taxes, amounts to USD 1,2 billion. Learn More
