Johnson further stated, "We have logs that show 380 feet of Upper and Lower Eagle Ford shale on our Matthews Lease of which approximately 160 feet is the organically richer lower Eagle Ford. Also, previous engineering reports indicate that the San Miguel formation contains 70 million barrels of heavy oil in the San Miguel D Sands and another 80 million barrels of heavy oil in the San Miguel A,B,C, Sands all within the bounds of our Matthews Lease."
