Encino, California, November 18, 2024 – Okmin Resources, Inc. (“Okmin” and the “Company”) (OTCQB: OKMN), today announced that it has entered into an agreement to exchange its 50% working interest at the West Sheppard Pool project in Okmulgee County Oklahoma into a 10% Overriding Royalty Interest.
The Company has assigned its 50% interest in the West Sheppard Pool project to Sheppard Pool Operating, LLC, the operator of the project. After Sheppard Pool Operating has received $22,850 in revenue from the project, the Company will receive a 10% overriding royalty interest (“ORRI”) in the project. Sheppard Pool may elect to reduce the 10% ORRI to 5% by a one-time payment of $100,000 to the Company within 4 years of the effective date of the agreement.
The greater Sheppard Pool field encompasses over 5,000 acres, with existing wells on the leases ranging from 850′ to 1,950′ in depth with gas production from several zones historically as their main objective. Currently, there is no production from West Sheppard due to the pipeline company requiring additional gas throughput to replace a failed compressor and related infrastructure. Additional capital is needed to complete the required work to potentially restart production. In addition, there are several additional zones that have not yet been tested for oil and gas production.
“This transaction keeps us involved in the upside potential of the West Sheppard Pool field, without the overall burden of financial commitments”, said Okmin’s Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Herzog. “The property operator can consolidate the West Sheppard Pool and East Sheppard Pool properties back into one larger project which increases the incentive for a new partner to enter the project and provide the necessary funding to properly develop a unified Sheppard Pool field.”
