Southeast Colorado is the crossroads of multiple North American tight oil plays. This is a region where geology has identified multiple deep oil plays. Exploration in 2012 has begun to demonstrate that extraction technology can be tuned to generate significantly productive commercial yields from the underlying strata.

Our base in the core counties of Cheyenne, Kiowa, Bent have been a quiet resource play for three generations. Vertical drilling of the underlying Las Animas Arch has been a consistent profit engine for speculative exploration, development and resource companies.

Tight oil and gas prospects have been explored and developed in Ohio, in the Bakken, Eagle Ford and the Denver Basin. Carbonate-bearing shale and lime layers to the north, south and east in these profitable plays also extend through the Las Animas Arch region of SE Colorado. Here, there is the real possibility of targeting multiple pay zones at several depths, either concurrently or sequentially. At the same time, new conventional reservoirs are still being identified in vertical drilling.
