Beaver Creek Anticline

Current Operations — Acquired September 2025

Golden Valley & Billings Counties, North Dakota

The Beaver Creek Anticline is a ~25-mile NW plunging structure spanning Golden Valley, Billings, and SW McKenzie counties in western North Dakota. ACP Energy acquired full operatorship of nine producing wells across approximately 10,000 net HBP acres, a private company acquisition with production from the Red River and Birdbear formations and seven total stacked productive pools.

The Structure

Three fields — Bicentennial, Beaver Creek, and Roosevelt — straddle the length of the anticline, which has cumulatively produced over 29 million barrels of oil and 28 BCF of gas from seven stacked pools.

The BCA sits within the Williston Basin oil kitchen, charged by the Bakken source rock with a comparable pressure regime and oil quality to the core Bakken play. Decades of production confirm hydrocarbon presence across multiple stacked zones.

Basement-controlled structure drives enhanced recovery: long-lived faults reactivated during Laramide compression created anticlines that focus hydrocarbon migration and trapping. Structural crests exhibit higher effective porosity, improved fracture intensity, and lower water saturation.

The result is stable PDP cash flow with structurally protected upside, with multi-stacked reservoirs that provide reserve growth optionality without lease risk.

Annual Decline

Structurally enhanced wells exhibit durable declines and long economic tails. Annual decline rates under 3% mean these wells aren't just producing; they're producing predictably, with 50+ year engineered reserve life.

Geology & Thesis

Why the Beaver Creek Anticline

Oil Kitchen Positioning

Located within the thermal maturity window of the Bakken source rock. Same oil quality and pressure regime as the core Bakken play. Proven charge across all seven productive horizons.

Structural Advantage

Basement-controlled anticline with Laramide-reactivated faults that focus hydrocarbon migration. Structural crests deliver higher porosity, better fracture networks, and lower water saturation.

Multi-Zone Optionality

Seven productive pools across multiple geological intervals mean recompletion targets exist in nearly every wellbore — reserve growth without new lease acquisition or drilling risk.

ACP Operating Programs

What We're Doing on the Ground

MEOR Deployment

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery deployed across all eligible wellbores, averaging +8.7% production uplift per treated well. No new drill capital. Incremental barrels from existing completions.

Workover Programs

Tailored intervention strategies for each well: identifying bypassed pay zones, replacing failed equipment, and re-perforating underperforming intervals. Average payback under 90 days.

Direct Field Management

ACP pumpers on every lease. Full regulatory compliance with the NDIC. Proactive surveillance, 24/7 monitoring, and immediate response capability for every well in the portfolio.
