Area of Interest

The general area of interest is situated on the east flank of the Nashville Dome and south of the Cincinnati Arch on the Cumberland Plateau in the Central Appalachian Basin.
The Appalachian Basin is the nation's oldest producing region. Production to date has been estimated to exceed 43 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalents. According to published reports, the basin still has an estimated 95 to 158 trilling cubic remain oil and gas reserves.

The Paleozoic Era represents in this area is divided into the following time periods: The Pennsylvanian (290-325 million years ago), Mississippian (325-360 million years ago) Devonian (360-410) million years ago, Ordovician (440-510 million years ago) and the Cambrian (510-570 million years ago).

The Cumberland Plateau is a topographic feature capped with approximately 600 feet of Pennsylvania Sandstone. Regional dip is to the southeast at 30 to 50 feet per mile. The area has apparently been subjected to some intense compressional forces, which have resulted in sharply folded anticlinal features. Major faulting is known to have occurred.
Drilling Prospects

Ky-Tenn Oil, Inc. (KTO). holds lease positions to more than 40,000 acres of leases in Fentress, Morgan and Smith Counties in Tennessee. Most of KTO's drill sites are offsetting producing wells or are located in development areas in established oil and gas fields. Roads and gas gathering systems with compression, where needed, are operating and well maintained.

All of the oil and gas production from KTO's wells leases comes from the Monteagle Limestone, Fort Payne Limestone or the Chattanooga Shale. Most KTO wells will test all of these three potential reservoirs. A detailed description of each potential reservoir in the area of interest follows: continued >>>
