Cubic Energy, Inc. Provides Operational
Update on Bethany Longstreet Acreage
DALLAS,
TX, April 10, 2006 -- Cubic Energy, Inc. (OTCBB:QBIK)
("Cubic" or the "Company") announced
today the Company has planned for and initiated staged completions
in wells on their Bethany Longstreet acreage. All of these wells
were initially completed in the lowest portion of the Cotton Valley
known as the Taylor Sand.
In
conjunction with pipeline and production improvements made to
the field gathering system, the Company has started to complete
additional Cotton Valley zones in these wells. It is anticipated
that these additional completions, or “stages”, will
continue up the wellbore in each well through the Cotton Valley,
Lower Hosston and Upper Hosston intervals. Such completions will
enable the Company to produce all of the Cotton Valley and Hosston
intervals in each wellbore.
All
of the Company’s Bethany Longstreet wells have multiple
zones that are expected to be commercially productive. Through
additional completions, it is believed that field operations will
bring reserves into the proven and/or producing classification.
This will improve the Company’s total reserves, producing
reserves and cash flow.
The
Company has successfully executed a second stage completion in
the Moseley 25 #1 well and the Moseley 26 #1 well, and these two
wells are under testing or flowback at this time. Cubic will continue
the staged completions in these two wells while they prepare the
Kraemer 24 #1 well for additional completion work. The Company
also plans to initiate staged completions in its two most recent
Bethany Longstreet wells, the Johnson 20 #1 and the Johnson 29
#1.
In
addition to the Cotton Valley and Hosston intervals of the existing
wells, each wellbore has additional shallow zones that the Company
plans to develop with new shallow wells. The Company believes
these shallow zones will be extremely beneficial for adding reserves
and cash flow. Cubic has already staked two locations for these
shallow wells.
Calvin
A Wallen III, Chief Executive Officer of Cubic, stated:
"The completion of these additional reserves in our existing
wells will add value to the company and to our shareholders, consistent
with our overall business plan.”
