Unicorp, Inc. announced today that it has completed the acquisition of producing properties in Welsh Field, Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana, which is its largest acquisition of producing properties to date. Current production is approximately 42 barrels of oil per day gross (32 bopd net) from two active oil wells. The properties contain a total of fifteen wells including two saltwater injection wells. Unicorp has identified remedial opportunities in nine of the wells which could restore total gross production to approximately 200 bopd (150 bopd net).
Unicorp plans to commence rework operations in July on six of the nine wells. If successful on the nine well remedial program, this property could provide monthly cash flow of approximately $225,000. Unicorp owns a 100% working interest and a 75% net revenue interest in this field. The purchase price was $1.3 million and was funded from Unicorp's recently announced $7.0 million convertible debenture.
"We are pleased to have completed this acquisition and believe this field has a lot of upside opportunity through low cost remedial work," stated Kevan Casey, CEO of Unicorp. "We previously announced that we were cash flow positive from operations, excluding non-cash charges, and believe this field could significantly add to our earnings and cash flow."
