Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
PRB Gas Transportation, Inc. finalized a definitive agreement to develop coal bed methane properties in an area of mutual interest in Wyoming and Montana ("AMI"). PRB will have the right to earn up to a 50% working interest in certain properties of Enterra Energy Corp's recently acquired subsidiary, Rocky Mountain Gas ("RMG"). The RMG properties, which hold natural gas leases in Montana and Wyoming, include in excess of 130,000 net acres of coal bed methane production rights.
The final agreement enables PRB to provide up to $21.8 million to acquire, drill and develop coal bed methane properties owned by RMG in the Powder River Basin. There are five development areas within the RMG properties. As PRB expends capital, it will earn a 50% interest in the 80 acres around each well developed and, on completion of the development of an area as defined in the agreement, PRB will earn an interest in such development area. On the expenditure of the $21.8 million within the AMI, PRB will have earned a 50% interest in all of the RMG properties whether or not the capital has been used to develop the RMG properties. For properties purchased and developed by PRB within the AMI, PRB and Enterra will each own a 50% working interest and PRB will be the operator of those properties. By funding the drilling and development on this acreage, PRB will also have the opportunity to gather the production on all properties except those currently dedicated to other gatherers. PRB currently plans to divide the $21.8 million drilling and development budget fairly evenly between the Wyoming and Montana properties. The Wyoming development areas include the North Gillette, South Gillette, Reno and Dilts acreage and the Montana property is Castle Rock.
