About Company

We are the leader in harvesting hydrocarbons from conventional resource plays. Where other exploration and development companies see problems due to high water saturation, we see opportunities.  With more than 30 years of scientific research and operational experience, we repeatedly set new industry standards for producing from reservoirs that hold oil, condensate, gas, and large amounts of water. Our way of production is to use unconventional, economical methods to extract hydrocarbons from the transition zones of these conventional reservoirs.

Operations

New Dominion economically develops reserves while minimizing the time-cycle of identification to production, through technical evaluation, and then infrastructure and operational development of transition zones within conventional reservoirs.  We operate hundreds of oil and natural gas wells throughout central Oklahoma. The majority of our wells are producing from reservoirs with high water saturation, thus high amounts of saltwater are being produced along with hydrocarbons. To maintain a highly profitable product flow, we operate a substantial number of saltwater disposal wells along with more than 100 miles of saltwater flow lines in current and future project areas.  Our unconventional production techniques require different technology and expertise, both downhole and on the surface. In advance of drilling wells, we install the entire electrical, water, gas, and oil distribution and collection infrastructure. Through close relationships with electric cooperatives and regional utility providers, we have constructed nearly 100 megawatts of electrical service dedicated entirely to our use in our areas of operation. This is the median usage rate of the sixth largest city in the state.

Geological Concepts

We define unconventional resource reservoirs as portions of a conventional reservoir where the void spaces between the rock grains (“porosity”) contain between 35 and 99 percent water. Conventional traps of hydrocarbons typically have less than 35 percent water saturation. Areas where the porosity contains 10 percent water are considered “wet.”  In the past, the majority of the transition zones were wet prior to the development of our specialized production processes.  Conventional resource reservoirs are typically made of carbonate- or delta type-sand deposits. In these reservoirs, the porosity is not well connected on a sub-regional basis. This quality, known as “low permeability,” restricts the movement of fluids through the reservoir. This results in transition zones that can have hundreds of feet of vertical rock with water saturations of 35 to 99 percent.  New Dominions projects cover large areas, sometimes in excess of 1,000 square miles for a single reservoir. This has resulted in the identification of hundreds of high-grade future locations, which will provide years of potential development.

Engineering Concepts

Recent developments in horizontal drilling have been highly beneficial to the development of conventional resource reservoirs. The ability to enhance deliverability of fluids stored in the reservoirs by overcoming areas of low permeability has been essential. This technology has allowed for the development of larger spacing units—thus higher economic margins.  The concept of using offshore technology on an onshore application was behind New Dominions use of high volume electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) to pull fluids and gases from the reservoirs. This has been invaluable, as it has enabled the company to produce at rates nearing 20,000 barrels of fluid per day from a single well. New Dominions staff designs its pump program to maximize production of hydrocarbons through the phases of our specialized processes and enhanced recovery techniques, thus increasing profitability.  At the surface, a series of separators and other equipment designed by New Dominion take the produced fluids and gases and separate them into oil, gas, and water. The high BTU gas is sold at the wellhead to gas purchasers who incorporate cryo-technology to separate out the natural gas liquids from the gas. This adds value to the wet gas produced and sold at the wellhead. Oil is stored in onsite tanks and then delivered to local processors. The water is generally transported through a series of disposal pipelines to a network of saltwater disposal (SWD) wells. The water is then injected back into the ground. The state approved formation typically receiving the water is the Arbuckle.  As this type of production requires a series of mechanical processes to be maintained, New Dominion has associated itself with a series of highly respected companies to provide services to the support of this operation on a 24/7 basis.

Southern Dome

New Dominions office in Oklahoma Citys Southern Dome field serves as both a field office and as a showcase for the companys accomplishments in the field.  The 12,000 square foot building features a control center that consists of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to monitor the Oklahoma City fields wells, and an Enhanced Radio Kill System, which is capable of controlling and monitoring the operations of the wells, making it possible to respond quickly to equipment or production variables.  The Southern Dome field office is located within the city limits of Oklahoma City, on SE 59 between Bryant and Sunnylane.  When New Dominion started laying the foundation of this field, we temporarily used an original Cities Service house built in the 1920s. Much of our early efforts in this area focused on enhancing neighborhood security, and cleaning up the area. We continue to work closely with the surrounding neighborhood associations to educate them about our oil and gas operations.

Golden Lane

New Dominions Golden Lane Project is currently active in the northern part of what is historically termed “the Seminole Field area.” We operate approximately 100,000 acres in the project. This area lies 40 miles to the east of Oklahoma City and is underlain by numerous conventional resource reservoirs that have undergone compressional folding and faulting. The primary formation currently being produced is the Misener-Hunton (“Hunton”) formation. This formation is made up of a complex series of dolomite and limestone deposited in a discontinuous manner.  The time to drill these wells has typically been 10 to 30 percent faster than our competitors. Once producing, the water from these wells flows into a disposal system composed of more than 20 saltwater disposal wells that are interconnected via a closed system of pipelines and pumping stations. This allows for minimal downtime of production as a result of storms or other mechanical issues with a single disposal well. This also allows New Dominion to reduce production costs relative to other stand-alone systems of disposal.  Additional reservoirs and conventional production types have been identified in our areas of operation, and are currently set for development. The Golden Lane area boosts years of low-risk drilling and recompletion potential.

Kevin A. Easley President & CEO

Easley joined New Dominion in June of 2011. He previously served for eight years as the President and CEO of the Grand River Dam Authority, during which time he successfully turned the GRDAs credit rating from a near junk-bond status of BBB- to an AA rating.  Easley served almost 20 years in the Oklahoma Legislature where he was largely responsible for creating legislation that ensured business development opportunities and optimum energy levels for consumers and businesses. During his time as an Oklahoma senator, Easley was employed as the Hydrocarbon Marketing and Distribution Manager for Samson Energy.  Easley is a graduate of the University of Tulsa where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with an emphasis on Accounting. Later, he earned his Master of Business Administration degree, with honors at Oklahoma Christian University.
