Inclined in opposite directions, as two sides of a pyramid. closure located in the prolific Interior Salt Basin of Mississippi about 50 miles north of the capitol of Jackson. Tinsley Field has produced over 230 million barrels of oil, predominantly from the Upper Cretaceous Woodruff Sand, which is now the subject of a massive CO2 injection (tertiary flood) program by Denbury Resources. Tinsley Field ranks as the second largest producing oil field in the State. The selection of the location of the initial 11,200' Norphlet Sand test was based upon the operator's interpretation of a 45 square-mile 3D seismic survey that had been acquired by Pennzoil in the early 1990's, along with corroborative cor·rob·o·rate tr.v. cor·rob·o·rat·ed, cor·rob·o·rat·ing, cor·rob·o·rates To strengthen or support with other evidence; make more certain. See Synonyms at confirm. information from a nearby downdip well drilled in 1944 that had tested minor amounts of gas and condensate from several perforated intervals within the Smackover, but had been ultimately plugged back and recompleted in the main field pay, the Woodruff Sand. The operator's 3D interpretation indicated the presence of a large "three-way" faulted Norphlet Sand closure, and that several other (pre-3D) Norphlet test wells, from which promising tests of gas and condensate had been reported, were located as much as 3,500 feet structurally downdip, and as much as four miles from the Norphlet structural crest. It had been postulated at that time that the potential gas in place within the prospective Norphlet closure could have exceeded 1 trillion cubic feet. The drilling of the initial 11,200' Norphlet Sand test reached total depth as expected by bottoming in the Louann Salt (beneath the Norphlet Sand equivalent), but no porous Norphlet Sand was encountered, and the overlying overlying suffocation of piglets by the sow. The piglets may be weak from illness or malnutrition, the sow may be clumsy or ill, the pen may be inadequate in size or poorly designed so that piglets cannot escape. Smackover Limestone was found to have very little porosity and nil permeability. Upon analysis of the data from the well, and a subsequent review of the 3D data, Dejour has concluded that the initial 11,200' Norphlet Sand test had been drilled in a very favourable structural position, but had been located too far updip of the stratigraphic stra·tig·ra·phy n. The study of rock strata, especially the distribution, deposition, and age of sedimentary rocks. strat limits of the Norphlet Sand objective, as well as any potential Smackover reservoirs. However, Dejour continues to believe there is a high likelihood that significant Jurassic hydrocarbon reserves remain to be discovered in the general area. In May of 2007, in return for quit claiming its working interest ownership in the initial 11,200' Norphlet Sand test wellbore (including plugging obligations) to the other working interest owners (who then sold the wellbore to Denbury Resources for a nominal sum), Dejour assumed ownership of 98% of the Prospect, including any remaining leasehold. Dejour has now entered into a binding agreement with private interests, including experienced Gulf Coast technical personnel who have established a successful track record in the discovery and development of analogous Jurassic reservoirs in the West Central Mississippi area, to integrate the results of the initial 11,200' Norphlet Sand test well into a more accurate re-interpretation of the geological and geophysical data available. In return for its contributions, Dejour will receive a cash credit consideration towards the next phase of project development and plans to retain a 35% interest in this ongoing project.

About Dejour Dejour Enterprises Ltd. is a micro cap Canadian company focused on oil & gas exploration with a significant indirect investment in uranium discovery. The company acquires high-impact energy assets and strategically monetizes them through partnerships and co-ventures to limit exposure and enhance returns. Dejour has significant holdings in three of the world's premiere energy resource regions. This includes 290,000 gross (60,000 net) acres in the Piceance and Uinta Basins, a vast natural gas play in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. ; and a major interest in Titan Uranium, Inc. (TSX-V: TUE Tu´e n. 1. (Zool.) The parson bird. Tue, Tues abbr (= Tuesday) → ma ), with 1.44 million acres in the Athabasca and Thelon Basins, the world's most recognized areas for uranium exploration. Finally, the company is pursuing high impact natural gas opportunities in Canada's Western Sedimentary Basin, known as the Peace River Arch Projects, comprised of 39,000 gross acres.
