Overview

Blackbird Energy (CVE:BBI) is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas assets with a focus on becoming an independent energy company. The company is actively looking for oil and gas properties for acquisition or potential joint ventures. Blackbird’s management team has the experience and expertise needed to identify, evaluate and develop new natural gas and oil reservoirs.

The Bigstone Montney Shale Prospect, a joint venture with Donnybrook Energy Inc. and ideally located to encounter high natural gas liquids (NGL) rich gas, is the company’s main project. Management is so confident in the company’s potential for success that not one of the members is paid a salary, but have instead chosen stock options as a reward in order to remain focused on making Blackbird into a successful player in the oil & gas sector.

Investment Highlights

• Experienced management with impressive track-record and desire for success
• Project in Alberta; one of the world’s most business friendly oil and gas jurisdictions
• Bigstone prospect located near two major players in the Montney Shale Basin: Trilogy Energy Corp. and Celtic Exploration Ltd.
• A joint- venture agreement with excellent terms

Chief Projects

Bigstone Montney Shale Prospect

Blackbird Energy’s chief project is located in the Montney Deep Shale Basin, a north-west to south-east trending formation that straddles the border between British Columbia and Alberta.

The region has attracted a lot of attention from major players because it is a thick, highly pressurized formation containing a significant amount of recoverable natural gas reserves located in very fraccable rock. The Montney Shale is estimated to hold 50 trillion cubic feet of natural gas with the presence of high levels of natural gas liquid (NGL) content — worth more than natural gas itself — found through much of the trend.

The Bigstone prospect is located in close proximity to properties owned by Trilogy Energy and Celtic Exploration whose test wells have already proven successful in locating natural gas resources with NGL content. The location of the project isn’t the only plus for Blackbird. In March 2011, the company announced it had entered into a farmout agreement with Donnybrook Energy Inc., a quality operator with significant knowledge of the Montney Deep Shale Basin.

A look at the standard land deals in this region, similar to that of Celtic Exploration, show companies paying $1million to $2million per section of land. Farmout agreements usually involve agreeing to drill one well for every two sections of land while taking on 37.5% of the cost to drill in order to receive a 25% interest in the project. Drill work on each test well usually includes 8,300 ft of vertical drilling plus 1600 meters of lateral drilling to reach the target and earn the full 25% interest.

The Bigstone prospect contains 7 sections of land that were purchased for a mere $250,000. In the agreement Blackbird Energy signed with Donnybrook, Blackbird only needs to drill one well to the heel, or the 8,300 vertical ft, and incur 37.5% of the cost, to earn 25% on not 2, but all 7 of these sections. Once Blackbird has earned it’s interest in the property, all exploration costs moving forward will be split 50/50 by both partners.
