Further Update of Operations
TEG USA
TEG USA is proceeding with the Tapia Cyclic Steam Program. The Company executed gas transmission and purchase agreements in late August to fuel the steam generator and has been steaming wells on the Yule Lease during the month of September. The Yule #7 well is in the post-steam "soak" phase of the cycle, and the Yule #10 well is in the steam injection phase. Steaming of wells will now progress systematically across the field at approximately two wells per month.
Midyear steaming of the three Snow Lease wells resulted in increases in individual well production that on average were multiples of pre-steaming rates. TEG used propane to fuel the steaming of these wells and elected to use smaller steam injection volumes in order to gain information as to the proper sizing of steam jobs for this reservoir going forward. The data collected will prove to be highly valuable to the ongoing project.
TEG MidContinent
On September 9, 2009, TEG MidContinent closed on the Vanguard Pipeline acquisition which is comprised of twenty five miles of inactive pipeline. The "Pipeline" is located west and north of TEG's Leavenworth project, an area presently subject to "curtailed/seasonal gas sales. Once the pipeline has been tested and "activated" it will provide a gathering system for TEG's future drilling and will establish a basis for potential joint ventures in both exploration and gas gathering and transportation.
