Marksmen Energy announces that the success of its two Davis Holbrook wells at Pickaway County, Ohio validates drilling at other offset locations in the Cambrian Knox formation. Marksmen is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with its long-term partner, Houghton Investments LLC to drill three Cambrian Knox Davis Holbrook offset wells in Pickaway County, Ohio. Marksmen will be the operator and Houghton will have the option prior to spudding of each well to participate from 10% to 25% as a working interest partner.

Additionally, Marksmen and Houghton will drill a fourth well in Pickaway County, Ohio at the Walker-Sheets location, a new Cambrian Knox Remnant delineated by Marksmen’s 3D seismic acquisition programs. Marksmen will also be the operator of this well and the working interest split will be 50% for Marksmen and 50% for Houghton.

The capital cost of each well to drill, complete, tie-in and equip is expected to be $350,000 USD. Marksmen will begin the process of surveying and applying for drilling permits in the next few days. Drilling of the first well will commence when a drilling rig and other essential equipment is available and when ground conditions are suitable, sometime in mid to late March. All wells are planned to be completed as soon as possible.

The Company expects to pay for its share of the capital costs of the initial wells from cash on hand and cash-flow from existing wells.

As part of its 2022 capital program Marksmen plans to optimize existing wells in Pickaway County and will continue to review capital projects presented by other oil and gas companies in Ohio and Canada.
