Investment Highlights

Predictable, oil-weighted production and cash flow:

  • Net production of ~4.5 MBoe/d (100% oil) from over 300 active producers and over 230 active injectors
  • Low decline production supported by water and CO2 flood enhancement with relatively low ~$30/bbl lifting costs

Successful waterflood with CO2 development:

  • Field has produced over 500 million barrels of oil with significant remaining opportunity (31% recovery factor)
  • Aneth Unit: Phases 1-3 of the CO2 flood are completed, phase 4 in progress to continue over waterflooded wells
  • McElmo Creek Unit: Recently increased compression capacity in 2024, started the C9 CO2 flood project
  • Ratherford Unit: Pure waterflood unit, ability to expand flood and start CO2 flood operations

Key Dates

  • VDR available early-March
  • Management Presentations begin mid-March
  • Bids due on April 15th
