Dallas, TX – December 13, 2011 – Triple Diamond Energy Corporation commenced drilling the Reichers 3-1H well in Kay County, Oklahoma on December 2, 2011. This project will be the first horizontal well for the domestic oil producer, who currently maintains profitable operations in Garvin County, Oklahoma.

“We conducted significant research while planning this project so we would have a solid understanding of how best to proceed,” says TDEC President Chris Jent.

The area TDEC has leased for the project is in the heart of the Mississippi Lime play. Experts characterize Mississippi Lime as a regional carbonate found to be particularly oil prone. Company researchers identified horizontal drilling as the most economical method for tapping into this source, as over time horizontal drilling in the Mississippi Lime of Oklahoma has shown superior production levels as compared to vertical drilling operations in the same area.

The company expects to drill the Reichers 3-1H well to a vertical depth of 4,000 to 5,000 feet, and horizontally 3,000 to 3,500 feet. TDEC will continue to report updates on the well’s progress over the next several months.

Dallas, TX – August 04, 2011 – Triple Diamond Energy hit total depth on the Justice #13-4 well in Garvin County Oklahoma on Saturday, July 16th, 2011. After analyzing feedback from the operation, the company has determined that the exploratory oil will not produce the minimum oil levels to be economic.

“While this is normal for our industry, the outcome is nonetheless a disappointment,” reports TDE President Chris Jent, “We will simply learn from the experience and make adjustments going forward.”

Triple Diamond Energy has commenced drilling a new well, the Toni #12-1, on July 20th, 2011. Company geologists and geophysicists used seismic and geophysical surveying to explore the area surrounding this new well. The technology provides highly accurate renditions of the geometry of subsurface layers, and should provide additional information that was not available on the Justice #13-4 well. “We believe we have solved the issues from Justice#13-4 with the Toni #12-1, and expect it be a successful well,” says Jent.

Triple Diamond has reported strong trends for the first half of the year, and looks forward to positive results from the new Toni #12-1 well soon.

Dallas, TX – July 15, 2011 – Triple Diamond Energy put the new Murray #14-3 well into production on Thursday, June 30. Located in Garvin County, Oklahoma, the well represents the company’s first success using a technique called Seismic Geophysical Survey Testing.

Seismic methods are the most widely employed of all geophysical methods used in petroleum exploration, as they provide highly accurate renditions of the geometry of subsurface layers. However, the costs associated with seismic methods are much higher than other types of geophysical surveys, requiring a substantial investment for companies interested in using the technology.

“This was a large seismic project, but the results back up our geophysicists’ theories on the area, and really validate what we’re doing,” explains President Chris Jent of Triple Diamond Energy.

The company finished strong in 2010 and has continued the trend throughout the first half of 2011. Thanks to impressive numbers and streamlined operations, TDE is zeroing in on achieving impressive goals of growth for this year. In keeping with this success, the company projects Murray #14-3 well will have a twenty-four month payback.

The seismic methods are the most widely used of all geophysical methods used in petroleum exploration. The main advantage is that it provides the most accurate rendition of the geometry of subsurface layers. Unfortunately the cost of seismic surveys are much greater than the cost of other types of geophysical surveys. Seismic methods measure seismic velocity of rock layers to detect both lateral and depth variations. The objective is to determine the lithology and geometry of the layers.
A seismic wave can be thought of as shock wave (elastic wave) or vibration traveling through the ground. The rate of travel, or velocity, of the wave is related to the density of the rock. There are two types of elastic waves produced: 1) P-waves, which are primary or “compressional” waves, and 2) S-waves, or shear waves (Figure F24).

The procedure used is to lay out a survey line with geophones set at equal spacings along the line. A shock wave is produced at one of the stations by dropping a heavy weight or detonating an explosion at a “shot point”. The shot point is the point on the surface directly above the zone of interest. Ground motions caused by the explosion or impact are transmitted in the form of P-waves and S-waves. A “seismic timer” is used to measure the travel time of the wave from the instant it is generated until the time the wave reflection is detected back at the surface. Times are measured for each of the successive stations along the line. Either semi-graphical or computer methods are used to determine the velocities.

The reflections are plotted on a profile, called a seismic section, which shows depths to the features of interest (Figure 25). Depths up to 20,000 feet can be measured routinely, with an accuracy level of 10 to 20 feet. Average velocities cannot be determined for intervals less than a few hundred feet. Seismic reflection has been used to map out the most common features associated with oil accumulations, such as anticlines, salt domes, reefs and faults. Since different types of rocks transmit the shock waves at different velocities, the average velocity can provide important information about the rock composition (Table T10).

The two main categories of seismic methods are “seismic reflection” and seismic refraction”. The seismic reflection method seeks to measure the travel times of seismic waves or pulses after they have been reflected off of subsurface formations or structural features. Information derived include the velocity (density) of the material and the depth to the reflective surface. Seismic refraction is used primarily to determine seismic velocity.

Seismic Reflection

The Law of Reflection simply states that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence (Figure F26). The technique is based on analyzing the arrival times of seismic waves (ground motion or energy waves). After the sensor measures the precise arrival time of the wave, the velocity of the wave can be calculated using the hyperbolic equation (Figure F26). The wave velocity, which is related to the rock density, can then be used to determine the lithology of Rock Unit 1.

Figure F26: Reflection of a seismic wave.

Seismic Refraction

The seismic refraction method is similar to the reflection method in that the same instruments and shock wave sources are used. However, as the name implies, the objective is to measure refraction of shock waves as they pass across formation or structural boundaries (Figure F27). Refraction is governed by Snell’s Law, which relates velocity to the angle of incidence and to the angle of refraction.
Measuring refraction requires that the detecting instruments be placed a large horizontal distance away from the shot point, or in other words, this distance must be much greater than the vertical depth to the horizon intended for measurement. The results are far less accurate than those obtained with the reflection method, but velocity information (and hence lithologic information) is more reliable than that obtained by reflection techniques.
