Chesapeake Northern Michigan

Northern Michigan
Silurian A-1 Carbonate
and Ordovician Collingwood Shale
Development Opportunity

GEOLOGIC SUMMARY: Chesapeake’s leasehold overlies two emerging resource plays, the Silurian A-1 Carbonate and the Ordovician Collingwood Shale. Both the Collingwood and A-1 Carbonate formations offer the potential for wet gas production, with the strong possibility of oil and condensate production. Additionally, Chesapeake’s acreage offers potential for conventional prospects in proven, oil-rich carbonate formations such as the Devonian Dundee and Detroit River in the northeastern Michigan Basin, where deep-seated fractures have created hydrothermal dolomite reservoirs.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary: Silurian A-1 Carbonate
Secondary:   Ordovician Collingwood Shale
Other: Devonian Dundee, Detroit River
DEPTH: Approximately 5,000’ – 10,000’
RATIONALE FOR SELLING: Chesapeake has altered its plans to develop all of its highly-prospective unconventional acreage, and instead will be focusing in other plays where it has amassed a more significant land position.
LAND: Approximately 450,000 net acres within 20 counties (Antrim, Bay, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Clare, Crawford, Emmet, Gladwin, Grand Traverse, Isabella, Kalkaska, Missaukee, Montimorency, Ogemaw, Osceola, Oscoda, Otesgo, Presque Isle, Roscommon and Wexford)

80% Average NRI

Majority of acreage lies on State of Michigan Lands

DISCOVERY WELLS IN AREA: Encana’s State Excelsior 1-13 HD1, and State Excelsior 1-25 HD1, Devon’s Cronk 1-24 HD1 and Wiley 1-18 HD1
