Ultra Announces First Sales of Oil From China Fields
HOUSTON, Sept. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ultra Petroleum (AMEX:UPL) today
announced that through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sino-American Energy
Corporation, initial oil sales commenced from its first two fields brought on
production in Bohai Bay, China. The oil production from the CFD 11-1 and 11-2
fields were loaded in two separate cargos during September 2004. Volumes
attributable to Ultra's interests for these two cargos total slightly over
300,000 barrels.
In Wyoming, three Pinedale Anticline wells of note commenced production,
individually breaking all previous initial production records. Combined, the
three wells produced a gross total of more than 103 MMcfe/d. The Riverside
4D-3D tested at 32.6 MMcfe/d, the Riverside 1-3D tested 32.4 MMcfe/d, and the
Riverside 2-3D tested at an average 38.1 MMcfe/d. Ultra operates the Riverside
4-3D, and holds an interest in the other two wells operated by Royal Dutch
Shell (NYSE:RD).
"We are pleased to announce first oil sales from our China properties, marking
the beginning of cashflows from the project. Production from our first two
fields started in mid-July and is currently approximately 30,000 barrels of oil
per day, of which Ultra is entitled to about 10%. Field productivity continues
to exceed preproduction expectations. Additionally, these three Pinedale wells
demonstrate the growing productivity of the Lance/Mesaverde interval in the
field and highlight the continued improvements in completion techniques,"
stated Michael D. Watford, Ultra's Chairman, President and CEO.
