BRADENTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--First Titan Corp. (OTCBB:FTTN), an emerging energy company, announced today that it is currently performing due diligence on a promising new oil and gas opportunity that involves only the completion of a new well, eliminating the uncertainty of drilling.
FTTN is exploring the potential purchase of a working interest in a horizontal well in Oklahoma that has been drilled and cased to a vertical depth of 5,600 feet with a further 2,300 feet of horizontal. The well sponsor, Bedford Energy, Inc., estimates that the well completion at 60 days from funding, potentially providing a quick return on investment in the project.
This horizontal well is being engineered for completion using Packers Plus QuickFRAC technology. QuickFRAC allows the operator to do the job of pumping stages on surface while Packers Plus does the job downhole, providing as many individual stages. This is done by taking a single pumping treatment on surface and precisely directing it into 2-5 stages downhole. For the operator, pumping time and costs are reduced significantly and production results are greatly increased.
FTTN signed an option agreement to acquire Bedford Operating Co., the operating subsidiary of Bedford Energy, Inc., earlier this week.
