leases, BE has agreed to pay the first US$6.5 million of drilling and
development costs of the first three wells, with Cunningham funding any and all
further such costs for the first three horizontal wells. Additional sets of
three wells each, if their development is agreed on by BE and Cunningham, will

Average Output; e) 500,000 upon a minimum of 750 bpd Average Output; e) 500,000

About West Virginia and its Oil Fields

West Virginia has a long history of oil and gas production from proven oil
fields such as the Stringtown, Rock Creek, and Green Creek fields. The advent of
new horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies of recent years
has opened up the possibility of economically extracting additional oil from
known reservoirs in the fields. One such reservoir, the 'Big Injun' sandstone of
the Rock Creek field located in Southwestern Roane County, West Virginia
discovered in 1906 has an estimated 25.5 million barrels of oil cumulative
production since discovery with censused oil in place estimates ranging from 90
million to 276 million barrels depending on the average pay zone thickness used
in estimates. (1)
