Laredo Oil Inc. (OTC: LRDC), based in Austin, Texas, is a publicly traded oil and gas exploration and production (“E&P”) company. Specializing in conventional and enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) techniques, the company is engaged in the acquisition and development of both undervalued quality conventional oil and gas properties and select mature oil fields. In addition to pursuing conventional recovery methods in target locations, Laredo Oil intends to utilize its proprietary Underground Gravity Drainage™ (“UGD”) model, where conditions warrant, to profitably recover stranded oil reserves previously thought to be incapable of economic recovery.
Strategy Laredo Oil intends to complete acquisitions of select mature oil fields in addition to conventional acreage and properties. The company is pursuing assets it believes are favorable for the profitable use of its proprietary Underground Gravity Drainage™ (“UGD”) model to recover stranded oil. The UGD method is suitable to mature oil fields with very specific geological and reservoir characteristics. Over the last 10 years, Laredo Oil has completed extensive research and field level application to identify specific oil fields within the United States that it believes are qualified for the UGD recovery method. The company believes the costs to implement the UGD method are significantly lower than those of other commonly used enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) methods. Laredo Oil anticipates that it can materially increase the field oil production rate from prior periods and, in certain cases, recover amounts of oil equal to or greater than previously recovered from the selected mature fields
Operations Laredo Oil’s primary focus is on acquiring, developing and operating undervalued conventional oil and gas properties. With over 24,000 net acres currently under lease, Laredo Oil, together with its operating subsidiaries, has targeted the following two primary areas for drilling and re-development:
Western Williston Basin – Mississippian and Devonian Targets – With historical production dating back to the 1950s, this region has provided continuous development since discovery to the present. Laredo’s operational area includes numerous underdeveloped but proven infill locations within the existing fields and leases, as well as multiple step-out locations for additional development. Shallow well depths range from 4,000 to 7,000 feet, and the use of conventional well applications will require less drilling, capital and risk as compared to unconventional techniques. Central Montana Uplift – Cretaceous Targets – Production in this area dates back from 1919 and continues to present day. This area offers the ideal characteristics for implementation of Laredo’s proprietary Underground Gravity Drainage™ (“UGD”) and other enhanced recovery methods. The company believes its leased acreage has the potential to yield at least five years of development opportunities. In the near term, Laredo Oil is focused on drilling the initial development well at one of the first 10 target locations. Provided the efforts yield anticipated results, the company plans to begin drilling additional wells at the location as soon as practical thereafter. The company intends to aggressively pursue the acquisition of quality assets that major, mid-major and large independent oil and gas companies continue to divest themselves of at a discount in response to ESG (Environmental, Social and Governmental) and sustainability initiatives and other pressures imposed by activist boards of directors. The company, leveraging its EOR methods, often has a lower environmental impact than its competitors and is employing a strategy to focus on value, growth potential and free cash flow while complying with common sense ESG policies.
Market Considerations Laredo Oil is positioning amid an expected climb in U.S. oil prices as energy demand intensifies with the economy continuing to recover from the COVID19 slowdown. Also driving upward price pressure is global supply chain dysfunction that slows or prevents shipments, including energy components, from reaching destinations. Years of reduced investment in fossil fuel producers due to green energy mandates has also constrained domestic oil production. Accordingly, the company expects a favorable short-term outlook for oil. Many industries have yet to reach pre-COVID production levels, which Laredo Oil believes points to a continuing near-term upward trend in energy demand.
