Texas Oil and Gas Attorney Blog
Another oil and gas company is expanding its operations in Texas. Paradigm Oil and Gas Inc. is adding 50 new wells to its Texas operations through new leases from Magnum Oilfield Services, Bitter Creek Petroleum and Blackjack Services. The deal includes cash and stock, with Paradigm keeping between 70% to 95&% interest in the wells. Paradigm will be the operator of the wells. Some of the new leases are the Miller, Adobe, Somerset, WH Summers, Hall, Don & Ruby Roberts, Cole, Colley and Brinkmayer A. A full list and details of the transaction will be released later. These leases are in Tyler County, Liberty County, Bexar County, Atascosa County, Kaufman County and Callahan County, Texas.
Paradigm is an expanding oil and gas producer, and currently has 30 leases with nearly 300 wells. Recently, Paradigm announced that its April 2014 oil shipments produced record returns. The CEO of Paradigm, Vince Vellardita, told reporters that “(w)e shipped two loads in April from leases in Texas and Louisiana totaling nearly 309 barrels. Those wells have since produced another 466 barrels which are ready for pick up. This oil production and (these)shipments send a clear message to shareholders that we are delivering on our promise to generate revenue and achieve sustained profitability.” Many of the new Paradigm leases are between Dallas, Texas and Houston, Texas and others cover almost 4,000 acres in the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford shale. Of the 50 new wells, 20 are producing revenue oil and gas already. A Paradigm operations division worker said it was another example of Paradigm’s “due diligence” in going after low-risk, high return properties that are very lucrative for the company.
Let’s hope that Paradigm’s efforts will result in increased royalties for Texas mineral owners whose leases will now be operated by Paradigm.
