Insights
The acquisition of a hot oiler truck and rig by HNR Acquisition Corp (HNRA) represents a strategic move to enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs. This $130,000 investment is expected to yield significant savings, with the company projecting at least a
Currently, HNRA spends approximately
From a financial perspective, this move aligns with cost-optimization strategies often employed by upstream energy companies to improve their bottom line. By bringing this critical function in-house, HNRA not only reduces direct costs but also gains operational flexibility, which could lead to improved production efficiency and potentially higher revenues.
However, investors should consider the additional operational responsibilities and potential maintenance costs that come with owning equipment. The true financial impact will depend on HNRA's ability to effectively manage and utilize this new asset. Overall, this investment appears to be a prudent financial decision that could positively impact the company's operational expenses and, by extension, its profitability in the medium to long term.
The acquisition of a hot oiler truck and rig by HNRA is a significant operational move that addresses several critical aspects of oil field management. This equipment is essential for maintaining production efficiency in the Permian Basin, where paraffin and sand blockages are common issues.
The versatility of the hot oiler truck and rig is noteworthy. It can perform routine load tests, unplug flowlines, treat wells with production chemicals, conduct pressure tests and manage 'bad oil' in production tanks. This multi-functionality enhances the overall operational capabilities of HNRA's field team.
A key advantage is the reduction in downtime. With the equipment on-site, HNRA can respond quickly to issues, potentially minimizing production losses. This is particularly important in the oil and gas industry, where every hour of downtime can result in significant revenue loss.
Moreover, the ability to perform these operations in-house provides greater control over the quality and timing of maintenance activities. This could lead to more proactive management of well issues, potentially extending the life of wells and improving overall field productivity.
While the immediate benefits are clear, it's important to consider the long-term implications. HNRA will need to ensure proper training for their field team and implement robust maintenance schedules for the new equipment. The success of this investment will largely depend on how effectively HNRA integrates this new capability into their existing operations.
HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 1, 2024 / HNR Acquisition Corp (NYSE American:HNRA) (the "Company" or "HNRA") is an independent upstream energy company with oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin. Today, the Company announces the purchase of a hot oiler truck and rig that adds flexibility for the field team and reduces costs.
A hot oiler truck and rig is used to (i) perform routine load and tests of pumping wells, (ii) unplug flowlines due to paraffin and sand, (iii) treat producing wells with production chemicals as needed, (iv) perform pressure tests throughout the field area, and (v) treat production tanks as needed due to "bad oil". The cost to HNRA of the hot oiler truck and rig is
"Our oil field has wells and thousands of feet of flowlines which need to be unplugged to maintain production on an ongoing basis due to paraffin and sand blockage. The need for a hot oiler and rig is almost daily," said Jesse Allen, the Vice President of Operations. "Having a hot oiler and rig on location mitigates downtime due to plugged flowlines. We are currently spending approximately
"We have a field team that can operate the hot oiler truck and rig. Owning and operating a hot oiler truck and rig versus using a third-party subcontractor where the closest subcontractor is at least an hour away, and not always available, gives flexibility to the field team. Owning this hot oiler and rig gives us the ability to quickly respond to needs and use for other applications which will also save field costs," continued Jesse Allen.
About the Oil Field Property
In November 2023, the Company acquired LH Operating, LLC ("LHO") including its holdings in New Mexico of oil and gas waterflood production comprising 13,700 contiguous leasehold acres, 342 producing wells and 207 injection wells situated on 20 federal and 3 state leases in the Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field. The Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field is located on the Northwest Shelf of the prolific Permian Basin in Eddy County, New Mexico.
Leasehold rights of LHO, now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, include the Seven Rivers, Queen, Grayburg and San Andres intervals that range from as shallow as 1,500 feet to 4,000 feet in depth. The December 2023 reserve report from our third-party engineer, William H. Cobb and Associates, Inc. ("Cobb"), reflects LHO to have proven reserves of approximately 15.4 million barrels of oil and 3.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas. The mapped original-oil-in-place ("OOIP") in the LHO leasehold is approximately 876 million barrels of oil in the Grayburg and San Andres intervals and 80 million barrels in the Seven Rivers interval for a total OOIP of approximately 956,000,000 barrels of oil.
Our primary production is currently from the Seven Rivers zone. In addition to proven reserves, the Company believes we may access an additional 34 million barrels of oil by adding perforations in the Grayburg and San Andres formations. With proven oil reserves of over 15 million barrels, combined with the potential 34 million additional barrels from the Grayburg and San Andres zones, LHO should produce oil and a revenue stream for more than two decades with a slow decline rate.
