NOTE 6 – DEFERRED WELL DEVELOPMENT COSTS

 

The Company records investor investments in individual oil wells as a liability totaling $2,799,260 and $4,551,577 as of May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Several agreements involving net working interests stipulate that a high percentage of oil revenue is distributed to investors until the original investment is recovered. As well related cash is distributed to investors, the liability balance declines proportionally until the original investment is recovered. Thereafter, most contracts specify that the distribution ratio reverts to a 50/50 split. The balance recorded as of May 31, 2025 shows $1,799,260 invested in the Olfert 11-4 well. The Reddig well commenced production during fiscal 2025. Due to uneconomical production, the well was shut in prior to May 31, 2025. As the operator under the participation agreement, the $2,835,500 investment received from investors for the Reddig 11-21 well is offset with related oil and gas assets. In connection with the Reddig well shut in, $648,317 has been reclassified from deferred well development costs to convertible debt contributed for net working interest and the related accrued interest. Both Olfert 11-4 and Reddig 11-21 are located in Valley County, Montana. 

 

The Company has recorded $2,250,000 advanced by accredited investors to West Fork as a Deposit for Well Development. Prior to May 31, 2025, certain West Fork investors requested funds to be refunded and were repaid $1,250,000 since the project had not yet been funded in its entirety.
