Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On October 18, 2005, we issued a news release announcing that our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Methane Energy Corp. has completed drilling and setting production casing for Beaver Hill #2 and has now commenced drilling Beaver Hill #5. The Beaver Hill #5 well is the fifth of five wells included in Methane’s Beaver Hill pilot project located in Coos County, Oregon. The well will be directionally drilled to an estimated total depth of 4,400 feet updip from the Beaver Hill #1, #3 and #4 wells and on strike with the Beaver Hill #2 bottom-hole locations. The wells are being drilled by Roll’n Oilfield Services’ Rig #14 and drilling supervision services are being provided by Frontier Engineering.
Methane has completed construction of its next pilot project location at Radio Hill, two miles south of the Beaver Hill pilot project. The Radio Hill site will include one vertical and four directionally drilled wells to test a number of Lower Coaledo coals including the same “D” coal found at Beaver Hill. The wells will be drilled by Roll’n Oilfield Services’ Rig #14 tentatively scheduled to move on location in early November 2005.
