This 7,300 acre project consists of 127 wells of which 57 are oil production wells and 70 are water injection wells. The project will be implemented in several phases. In Phase One, remediation work will begin on five wells. After testing these wells for a period of time, additional wells will be remediated and placed back into production. Ambra will own a 75% working interest before payout and Venture will own a 25% bpo interest. After payout of each phase, the project will be owned 50% by each partner. It is expected that production from the first five wells will provide revenues for the project's full remediation and development. After completely remediating the Red River Bayou Unit, Venture and Ambra expect daily production of oil to range from 500 to 700 Barrels. Ambra Resources Group and Venture Oil & Gas have acquired State Lease "9798", well No.2 in Lake Washington Field, Plaquemines Parish, La.
