Although 2007 was a down year for Eldorado Exploration Inc.’s (Pink Sheets:EDEX) stock price, the overall future of the Company is poised for a big boost in 2008.
EDEX will finish the testing of the Mesa gas field in New Mexico and is negotiating with an investment group to provide financing to drill a minimum of 15 wells to prove up the reserves necessary to get the pipeline built. The first income would not start until 2009, but the reserve value behind EDEX stock should be a large multiple of the present share price. The Company also has two additional lease positions of 15,000 acres and 16,000 acres, with almost identical ‘PIP’ readings, located to the west of Mesa that the Company will drill. If all three blocks are successful, Eldorado Exploration, Inc. could have over 150 gas wells in New Mexico.
The North Dakota well in the Williston Basin should be completed in the first Quarter of 2008. A partner in the well will be replaced and other financing will be arranged to allow the operator to finish the completion of the well. Additional wells are being drilled by others on ‘PIP’ identified sites in North Dakota and those results should be known in January. EDEX will evaluate the results of several wells in the Lodge Pole Formation before committing funds for additional drilling.
With each successful well Eldorado Exploration, Inc. participates in, the next prospects become easier to fund. The Company tries to drill prospects with many offset or “close-by” wells with a much lower risk factor; therefore, when an exploratory well is drilled, there can be many more wells to drill on the same prospect or lease block. A good example is the Mesa field with a gas well drilled in the middle of an 11,000 acre Eldorado Exploration lease block; whereas, the EDEX may have at least 30 offset wells according to early projections.
The Company is also participating in two 4000 ft. wells during January and February, 2008. If successful, the cash flow could start within 90 days of completion. There are over 50 additional PIP-identified locations for the Company to participate in if the wells are productive. EDEX has a reduced interest in the first wells drilled, but has no “at risk” money involved. Potential income could exceed $20,000.00 per month per well to the Company.
EDEX has acquired leases outright, or options, to drill on over 100,000 acres with hundreds of ‘PIP’ sites in 5 states. The early ground work and drilling has been done; now, the Company hopes to participate in the development the opportunities that we have spent the last 3 years accumulating.
Eldorado Exploration, Inc. has not sold any stock to raise funds recently because of the low price per share and further dilution. The Company has positioned itself to promote the interest in new wells with partners who will put up the risk money, or even all of the funds required, for half of Eldorado Exploration’s share. This is allowing the EDEX to participate in the drilling of wells without having to sell additional stock to raise money.
Eldorado Exploration was formed to search for big targets with big wells using the Passive Induced Polarization ‘PIP’ Geophysical technology. We now have the opportunity in 2008 to show what we can do. There has never been a better time to be in the oil exploration business and we are finally ready to reap the rewards from our leasing and ‘PIP’ surveying. With hundreds of drill sites and partners to put up the risk money, we will be positioned for EDEX to grow from an exploration company into a production company. It has been a struggle at times, but our mission has never changed. We have had to adjust, but will not rest until EDEX is very successful.

Eldorado Exploration, Inc. is an independent oil and gas company that utilizes a process called Passive Induced Polarization ‘PIP’ to detect electrostatic signals given off of some geological anomalies. In most cases, a positive response indicates a hydrocarbon accumulation and a negative reading is almost always a dry hole. When used with the standard geological tools and methods, the PIP process enhances the odds of success for discovering oil and gas.
