HOUSTON, Jan. 30, 2012 (CRWENEWSWIRE) — PanGeo Subsea Inc. (PanGeo) and Global Geophysical Services Inc (NYSE:GGS), two leading geophysical service and technology providers, announced that they have entered into an agreement for the development and commercialization of the Acoustic Zoom(R) product line.

Acoustic Zoom(R) uses steered beams of acoustic energy to produce 3D seismic images of the subsurface with higher definition than can be attained with conventional seismic migration techniques. Acoustic Zoom(R) offers the potential for providing new insight into the internal character of petroleum reservoirs. The development partners believe this technique will be particularly well suited to the unconventional “tight” reservoirs such as the Eagle Ford formation of South Texas and the Marcellus shale play (Appalachia) where understanding natural and stimulated fractures of the reservoir can be a key to optimal petroleum production.

Under the scientific direction of Dr. Jacques Guigne, PanGeo has successfully commercialized the use of acoustic beam steering methods within their geotechnical product line Acoustic Corer. “It is a natural continuation along this technology development path to apply similar scientific principles to petroleum reservoirs. The combination of PanGeo’s Acoustic Zoom(R) intellectual property and signal processing know-how along with GGS’s premier seismic data acquisition capabilities is expected to bring the new product line to market at an accelerated pace than would otherwise have been possible,” noted Dr. Guigne.

Tom Fleure, Global’s Senior Vice President of Geophysical Technologies noted, “Upon commercialization, Acoustic Zoom(R) will offer GGS clients the opportunity to focus their analysis on specific areas of interest within a larger data volume. Doing so would be analogous to applications of enhanced MRI techniques in the medical profession. Applying the technique across Global’s expansive unconventional resource data library holds unique opportunities for value creation for our customers.”

An Acoustic Zoom(R) project of 12.5 sq. km has already been jointly acquired by the parties over GGS’s Wrangler 3D multi-client survey in Wilson County Texas over the prolific Eagle Ford (shale), Austin Chalk (chalk), and Buda (limestone) formations. Over two terabytes of data were acquired using a custom array of 4000 receivers with frequencies of up to 170 Hz recorded. Initial results are very encouraging as the data undergoes continued processing by the Acoustic Zoom geoscience team.

Under this agreement GGS becomes a minority shareholder in the jointly owned entity Acoustic Zoom Inc., formed in Newfoundland, Canada.

Lucas Energy can Help Fulfill the Demand for U.S. On-Shore Oil

August 15, 2010

Volume 2 Issue 4

www.LucasEnergy.com

Lucas Energy, Inc. (NYSE Amex: LEI) is an emerging Independent oil and gas company based out of Houston, Texas. The Company has been dramatically increasing production of oil in 4 counties in Southern Texas. LEI has 100% working interest in the ma-jority of their 17,000 acres of oil and gas leases.

Lucas operates 47 wells with a gross average daily production of 300+ BOE/day. The Company also controls an additional 28 shut-in or plugged well bores in the Austin Chalk formation.

Lucas’s acreage is located in the middle of the new Eagle Ford trend and it is currently testing both the Eagle Ford (EF) and Buda formations as part of the LEI Business Plan. EF is rich in American oil and is positioned directly beneath the Austin Chalk Formation. EFS spans across 11 counties in South Texas and produces oil and gas from 4,000 to 12,000 feet. Acreage in Gonzalez County just sold for $ 4,500/acre. Lucas paid just $ 3,400 /acre.

Oil production has catapulted year to year and quarter to quarter. Production sales increased 1,813 bbls in the April/ June up from Jan– March quarter a 31% increase. June sales are 100% above January with oil prices about the same. ( $ 71-73 ) One of the largest privately owned U.S. oil companies, Hillcorp Energy Co., acquired 85% interest in 10,500 acres of Lucas’s EF leases in Gonzales County, Texas. In June 2010, LEI acquired an additional 9 wells in the EF/Austin Chalk that are being worked over to restore production. In July 2010, the Company acquired 2 additional producing wells along the EF and has 100% working interest in them.

GROWTH STRATEGIES

For Lucas Energy, growth of oil production is expected to come from acquiring abandoned or shut-in wells. Revitalizing existing wells with work-over rigs has brought a significant source of oil and gas recovery. Also, drilling new laterals has produced oil on leases that have been previously underdeveloped. The recently acquired wells along the EF have produced beyond the Company’s expectations.

The Company has a mission to protect the environment from man-made disasters. Horizontal drilling is a technology that allows oil extraction with less surface exposure. LEI has been utilizing laterals to improve economics, having the ability to produce oil faster, safer and more efficiently. About 25% of domestic independent oil companies use horizontal drilling. Lucas builds relationships with land owners to ensure fairness and protection of their property. LEI has no debt.

Lucas improved their cash position having $ 4 mill in cash in addition to having repaid $ 2.2 million in debt and having spent $ 4.6 million in capital expenditures including the acquisition of 2,800 new acres, increasing the Company’s leverage and strengthening their position in Gonzales County.

The first fiscal quarter, April-June 2010 showed a 60% improvement in the adjusted EBITDA over the Last quarter 2009-2010 ( January-March.) Oil production is expected to be unabated in Q3 2010 and Q4 in 2011. As of March 31, 2010 the undiscounted value of proved reserves was $81.7 million. The PV10 value was $47.5 million.

Lucas also has leverage over other companies because it has lower operating expenses on its leases. By the numbers, LEI has a very good financial growth potential. The Company has low equipment, exploratory and lifting costs. An increase in production, reserves and cash flow gives the company a strong financial position and a significant financial advantage in the oil & gas market sector.

Future of American Oil

Over the next year, the demand for American crude oil is expected to grow with drilling offshore becoming such high risk. Penn Virginia Corp acquired 6,800 acres with access to the Eagle Ford Shale paying $ 31.1 million. That comes to a huge $ 4,300 per acre. Lucas has averaged no more than $ 400-600 cost per acre as they were grandfathered into some properties years ago. The business of independ-ent oil and gas companies is increasing incrementally as technologies improve and value of production remains at reasonable levels. More reliance on energy will be on shore and should help reduce dependence on imported oil. It is inevitable that we must find new sources of oil production in the United States to meet Americas need for fuel in their vehicles, homes or factories, which is 2/3 of our energy usage. We need to focus on increasing our domestic oil supply to keep consumer prices lowered, reduce reliance on foreign oil suppliers and to prevent an extremely high trade deficit. Currently there are about 5000 independent oil & gas producers in the U.S. In America, the independent companies drill out of 90% of the wells that produce 68% of our oil & 82% of our natural gas. A major benefit financially, is that domestic producers reinvest profits into new energy projects and technology right here at home.
