Acquisitions
A Selection Of Acquisitions
Hornet Corporation & Affilates has diligently engaged in negotiations with numerous landowners across the Appalachian Basin. Our persistent efforts have secured thousands of acres of mineral rights under the lease, facilitating the ongoing development of oil and gas. Additionally, by capitalizing on emerging opportunities, we have demonstrated assertiveness in acquiring pivotal oil and gas assets from various organizations over the years.
The Ferguson
Lease
Ferguson Brothers Lease, located in the Albany Quadrangle of Clinton County, Kentucky. This is a series of large tracts of land consisting of several hundred acres. The world-famous discovery well, permit #102112,, came in flowing at rates between 150 and 400 barrels per hour. According to the Kentucky Geological Survey, this well-produced over 150,000 barrels of oil in the first eight weeks. An amazing $12,000,000 at $80 oil prices. The Ferguson Brothers Lease has had several other excellent producers. The better wells, including the discovery well, produced oil from the Murfreesboro and Stones River Formations. Additional wells have produced oil from the Wells Creek and the Knox Formations.
The Sells and Hoover leases are located in the Alpine Quadrangle of Overton County, Tennessee, in between the WIrmingham, Rocky Ridge, Riverton, and Black Hollow Oil Fields. These leases lay adjacent to the West Fork of the Obey River which feeds into Dale Hollow Lake (home of the world record smallmouth bass). These leases have had several wells, some of which are still producing. Most produce from the Sunnybrook Formation, although wells had shows of oil in other zones, including the Stones River.
