Current report
The Company had a working capital deficit of $527,336 as at September 30, 2024 and for the 2025 fiscal year we anticipate cash needs of approximately $300,000 for general corporate overhead and for operations on our existing lease properties. This amount does not include funding for any potential workovers, re-entries, stimulation treatments and recompletions of existing non or low producing wells. Any new work on our properties will require additional capital. A portion of the required cash will be obtained from oil and gas sales. The Company plans to obtain the remainder of the required capital through private sales of securities or debt financing.

The Company and SPO had previously entered into a gas gathering agreement in June 2023 in an effort to restore and ultimately improve gas flows into the gas transit pipeline system. SPO has been working to upgrade the gas gathering system on the property, including replacing older gas gathering lines with new modern lines. The older lines were discovered to contain numerous leaks which likely contributed to the lack of throughput to the compressor station. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s expenditures at West Sheppard Pool were $14,594.

The Company and SPO had previously entered into a gas gathering agreement in June 2023 in an effort to restore and ultimately improve gas flows into the gas transit pipeline system. During the year ended June 30, 2024 and the three months ended September 30, 2024, we received no revenue from the property as gas sales continued to be suspended due to further required pipeline work and the failure of equipment owned by the gas pipeline company at its compressor station. In order to replace the failed equipment, the gas pipeline company is requiring additional gas throughput to justify the investment.

Prior to the suspension of activities following a compressor outage, only 6 of the 26 wells on the property were selling into the pipeline. Subsequently an additional 4 wells were connected in late 2022, so in total there are now 10 of the 26 wells at West Sheppard Pool connected to the gas gathering system.

Subsequently an additional 4 wells were connected in late 2022, so in total there are now 10 of the 26 wells at West Sheppard Pool connected to the gas gathering system. Many of those wells would likely benefit from workovers to increase their production potential, and six wells were identified by the operator for reentry to perforate and fracture new zones for both oil and gas. The property also has the potential for infill drilling for new wells within the property. Any work is dependent upon obtaining additional capital, which could include adding an additional partner to fund this work program.
Previous wording
Pushmataha has seven existing gas wells ranging in depth from 10,000 - 12,300 feet. The wells were inactive since 2019 due to line leaks and lower gas prices, though in April 2021 some wells were put back online and have at various intervals produced between 100 - 300 thousand cubic feet per day (MCFD). Through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, we recorded $60,066 in revenues from gas sales at the project. Earlier in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the wells were shut in, as the operator awaited repairs to a gas leak by the pipeline owner to the pipeline gathering system. The operator subsequently resumed production on the leases.

We generated $53,930 in revenue from oil and gas sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $98,466 in revenues generated in the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in revenue is attributable to lower natural gas prices. These lower prices not only reduced the sales price we received for each MCF sold, but also led to the curtailment of operations on certain of our properties until prices improve which resulted in a decrease of our production volumes. Additionally, in the previous corresponding nine months ending March 31, 2023 there was significantly more rework operations being conducted on our properties. We also received $5,557 in interest income from our cash balances for nine months ended March 31, 2024.
