First Titan signs agreement with Green Oil Operating

First Titan Corp. (OTCBB:FTTN) signed an option agreement with Green Oil Operating, LLC, today to explore the infield development of oil and gas resources in Oklahoma.

Green Oil owns the rights to drill and re-enter a prospect known as Gates 1-14 in Hughes County, Okla. The Gates prospect is located in the Warren oil and gas field, where production has been proven in several different formations and has shown significant returns. Gates 1-14 is planned as a direct offset to a key well, Warren 1-14, that produced over 400,000 mcf of natural gas before down-hole mechanical problems and water ingress impeded the flow.

A petroleum geologist’s report on the prospect estimated that Gates 1-14 could contain 200,000 barrels of oil or gas equivalent recoverable in place. FTTN expects that the low-risk project could yield substantial returns.

The option agreement gives both companies 30 days to conduct due diligence toward a possible definitive agreement.

If FTTN acquires a working interest in the well, it would be the third such drilling project with which the company is moving forward in 2012. The emerging energy company has already acquired drilling assets in Texas and Louisiana.

“The acquisition of Displaybank will help to solidify our position as a world-leading provider of technology, media and telecommunications information and analysis,” said IHS Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jerre Stead. “With its base of operations in Korea, Displaybank will also deepen our Asia Pacific research and analysis capabilities – an area that’s critical to our company’s growth.”

The CAPS database is a leading source for identifying specific electronic components based on engineering specifications. It combines information on more than 265 million physical devices, along with intuitive tools for integration into engineering design processes and applications. It includes comprehensive and current information for electronic and electro-mechanical components to support engineering selection and procurement decisions for military and commercial applications.

CAPS data is essential for original equipment manufacturers or electronic manufacturing service product teams including design and component engineers, supply chain, manufacturing and quality assurance personnel. Users can easily find substitute and replacement options for obsolete parts or components that are in short supply, as well as access parametric data, life-cycle forecasts, and material data to choose the right components for their design.

IHS President and Chief Operating Officer Scott Key said: “The acquisition of the CAPS family of products will significantly enhance our existing electronic parts information business to provide greater breadth and depth of content to our global customers. The CAPS content coverage, selection and list management tools, sourcing relationships and integration framework, along with the subscription nature of the CAPS business, makes it an excellent strategic fit for IHS as well.

“Combining the CAPS database with the existing IHS electronic components database will create the largest solution in the industry, both in terms of parts and manufacturing count, enabling us to deliver even greater value to our customers in this critical market.”

Hild Technology’s digital oil and gas pipeline and infrastructure information business meets a critical need for energy producers and refiners in North America, offering pipeline infrastructure information for upstream strategic planners, gas marketers and refiners. The information is updated daily and available on a national, state and county level, and is delivered via shapefiles, geodatabase and secure data exchange, along with 11 years of historical data.

According to Key, the acquisition of Hild’s oil and gas pipeline and infrastructure information business “will help IHS meet a critical need for energy producers and refiners in North America by integrating it into the existing IHS Midstream Essentials product and creating an even more robust offering that adds tremendous value for our customers.”
