 TENGASCO’S GAS PRODUCTION DOUBLES STATE OUTPUT-Tennessee’s natural gas production doubled when Tengasco began selling gas to Eastman from its Swan Creek field, according to a news release issued by the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.

The news release noted that in 2000, the state produced 1.15 billion cubic feet of gas from 700 wells. In about two months, Tengasco has produced 372.8 million cubic feet of gas, which equates to 2.5 billion cubic feet on an annualized basis, noted Tengasco chairman and CEO Mike Ratliff.

Dr. Robert D. Hatcher, who holds the chair as University of Tennessee/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distinguished Scientist in the Geology Department of UT, says there is a good possibility that there are other Swan Creek look-alike structures in Tennessee.  “Even cursory examination of the state geological map of Tennessee reveals numerous structures-both like Swan Creek and not-that could be productive”, explains Hatcher .  “Closer examination of these potential plays indicate at least 20 to 30 possibilities.”

NOW THEY KNOW THERE IS OIL & GAS IN TENNESSEE-Right in the middle of the 2001 Producing Property Exchange in Houston, August 7-8, TOGA  had a booth along with Marathon Oil Company, Ryder Scott, Samson Resources, Comerica Bank, Harken Energy Corp, HIS Energy and a host of other leaders in the oil and gas production and financial industry.  The “There really is oil and gas in Tennessee” over the TOGA booth brought a lot of smiles from the oilmen and many stopped by to learn what was going on in Tennessee.

It was encouraging to learn that the majority of those attending the show knew about Tengasco’s Knox play and a surprisingly large number knew about Miller Petroleum’s involvement.  Quite a few were aware of the success Tennessee operators such as Young Oil Corp. are having in Overton County.

Those who didn’t know what is going on in Tennessee do now.  The booth was manned by TOGA President Bill Goodwin and Bob Nelson, AC Insurance, the firm that insures many operators.  In addition, Paul Strzala and Nick Pustay, Kingston Oil Corp. helped out on the first day of the show.

The really good news for Tennessee was that lots of folks asked lots of questions about what was happening in Tennessee and how could they get involved.  They also took home our information pack, with information about Tennessee and the operators who sponsored the booth.  The other good news is that there is a lot of money chasing very few deals.  Now is a great time to be in the oil business.

Here are the sponsors who helped made our appearance in this major oil show possible: Ohio Kentucky Oil Corp., Miller Petroleum, Inc., B&H Supply, Inc., Hein Oil Company, Bill Ray, TMD Energy, Kingston Oil Corp, Young Oil Corp., and Saint Joseph Petroleum.

WHITESTAR HAS IT ALL-Our neighboring booth at the Producing Property Exchange was Whitestar Digital Mapping and Geospatial Wisdom.  They are a cost –effective method for rapid implementation of well data.  They can deliver well data by the state or county, as well as maps. Price depends on the number of wells in your area of interest. Contact them at 303-781-51182.

TOGA BOARD MEMBER STARTS OWN FIRM-Lynn Wagoner resigned his position with Ohio Kentucky Oil Corp., on July 31, 2001 to launch his own firm.  The new firm to be known as Signature Oil will be headquartered in Lexington, Ky.

SAVE DOMESTIC OIL KEEPS WINNING-There has been a lot of court action in the U.S. Court of Appeals, but the net effect is that Save Domestic Oil’s (SDO) dumping case is back before the Department of Commerce and they must give SDO standing.
