Jonah Field (Samson 21% Working Interest)

The Jonah Field is located in the northern part of the Green River Basin. It is one of the largest discoveries in recent decades in the continental United States, having produced in excess of 1.5 trillion cubic feet of gas since commencing production in 1992. Development of this field has resulted from the application of advanced fracture stimulation techniques. The field has undergone several iterations of development with some sections of the field currently being developed on a 10 acre well spacing. The current well spacing is approximately 20 acres.

The field produces from a series of stacked reservoirs within the Mesaverde and Lance formations. The field is wedge shaped and trapped between two faults.

The current development in the acquired section is approximately 20 acres. In late 2006, approval was granted for developing the field on 10 acre spacing, which would result in a further 5 or 6 development wells being drilled in the acquired section. Two new development wells are planned to be drilled in 2009.
