Krewe acquires Timbalier Bay Field

COVINGTON —Krewe Energy LLC, a privately held oil and gas exploration and production company based in Covington, has announced that it recently completed the acquisition of the Timbalier Bay Field located in Lafourche Parish.

The Timbalier Bay Field is a vintage south Louisiana property discovered in 1938 by Gulf Oil Corp. and ranks as one of the state of Louisiana’s top 10 fields based on cumulative production to date.

With this acquisition, Krewe Energy adds 8,270 acres (100 percent held-by-production) and a significant amount of crude oil production to its south Louisiana holdings. Krewe Energy has successfully accomplished its goal of doubling the company’s production rate by midyear 2017 and will be producing approximately 2,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day as a result of this transaction and now owns more than 15,000 leased acres in south Louisiana.

Barry Salsbury, managing partner of Krewe Energy, commented, “With the acquisition of Timbalier Bay, we have added a world class asset to our South Louisiana asset base and have effectively doubled our Company’s size.

"Krewe owns and operates approximately 100 percent of its existing asset base and, similarly, we acquired a 100 percent working interest in the Timbalier Bay Field. Krewe has built a team of talented engineers and geologists and, consistent with our company’s strategy, have commenced our efforts at Timbalier Bay to optimize production, reduce operating expense and initiate an internal full field study to identify additional production enhancement and future development opportunities.”

Krewe Energy continues to focus on the growth and further development of its existing asset base while also seeking additional acquisitions of mature assets within its core operating area of the Gulf Coast oil and gas trend.

Krewe is engaged in the acquisition, exploitation and development of producing oil and gas fields, with a specific focus on conventional production opportunities within the shallow state waters of the Gulf of Mexico, inland marsh and onshore areas of South Louisiana and the greater Gulf Coast region.
