  • Managed Petroleum Group Inc. a privately held oil and natural gas development firm located in Richardson, Texas is pleased to announce its participation in a commercial offshore oil and gas well. The Price B # 1 well located in Plaquemine Parish, Louisiana has been deemed commercial.This well has exceeded initial projections with above average initial production rates of more than 650 barrels of oil and 2,300 mcf of natural gas per day. The Price B # 1 is located approximately 6 miles northeast of Venice, Louisiana at a depth of 11,500 feet. As is customary with shallow offshore oil production in the wetlands of Louisiana, this well is receiving per barrel revenues based on Brent Crude oil prices which are currently above $109.00 per barrel. This single well is estimated to hold more than 300,000 barrels of oil and an extremely large amount of natural gas. The operator is in the final stages of purchasing the delivery pipeline from British Petroleum (BP) and Chevron as this will allow for a much larger daily production ability. Managed Petroleum Group Inc. anticipates this acquisition to be finalized in the first quarter of 2012.
