CHAIRMANS EXTRACT
Dear Investor, On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to invest in Concentrated Capital Limited (�the Company�).
The purpose of the Issue is primarily to raise funds to farm into 2 projects in the USA that the Directors consider as highly prospective. These are the Swearingen Project in Illinois and the West Pine Ridge Project in Colorado.
These projects take advantage of the lower drilling and operating costs in the extensively developed basins in the US and a more favourable taxation regime when compared to Australia.
Additionally, infrastructure in these established basins is highly intensive with development being comparatively cheap. Finally, within these basins, geology and available data enable good well control and create a highly prospective environment for project selection. Given the quality of project management in relation to each project, the Company does not require full time staff in the US.
Each of these projects is ready, or near ready to drill, and reports in respect to each of them form part of this Prospectus. The Swearingen Project is stated by Schlumberger to contain probable reserves of 1.25 Billion Cubic Feet (BCF) gas and will be managed and operated by Team Energy, LLC ("Team"). Immediately underlying the known probable reserves of gas is a known oil zone with a depth of approximately 20' and below that are a series of zones, which may contain multistacked reservoirs.
The West Pine Ridge Project has the potential for discovery of between 45BCF gas and 92 BCF gas (7.5 million to 15.4 million barrels of oil equivalent) in the Almond Sand (the primary target zone) and a further equivalent amount in the Lower Mesaverde Sand to give potential total reserves of between 90BCF gas and 184 BCF gas (15 million to 30.8 million barrels of oil equivalent). This project is more speculative than the Swearingen Project, but, with greater potential upside. It will be under the control of Avalon Oil and Gas Group, (�Avalon�) which will also either operate the project or otherwise appoint a project operator. Drilling is planned to commence in September 2002.
The coal project in the Surat in Queensland is a longer-term project and is stated by the consulting geologist to contain in excess of 64 million tonnes of 2 nd Class Indicated Reserves as delineated by drilling by Shell Australia. Additional coal resources are included in the areas of the application.
The Company is a pooled development fund offering its shareholders the potential tax benefits referred to in Ernst & Young's report.
As in any oil and gas exploration there are inherent risks. Any person interested in investing in the Company after receiving this Prospectus should seek their own professional advice, indeed I encourage them to do so.
I believe that this is an excellent opportunity to invest in prospective resource based projects in the US and Australia and am happy to commend the Company to you on behalf of the Board.
Yours faithfully,
Hamish Giles Chairman |
