American Energy Development Corp. has re-started development on its 1,343 acre Dansville Prospect after an early end to Michigan's Frost laws which in 2012 began in late February and were lifted on March 15. Frost laws are seasonal restrictions on traffic weight limits and speeds on roadways that are subject to thaw weakening. The laws, which are historically put into effect in late winter, ended earlier than usual this year given the seasonally warm temperatures across the region. With frost laws now lifted, AED's second planned well on the Dansville prospect, Cremer 1-1, is expected to enter the drilling phase and spud in late April. Cremer 1-1 has been surveyed and bonded with all permits currently in place from the State of Michigan. The site was identified by AED's 12,300 acre database of 3D high-resolution seismic data showing detailed isochron maps outlining the crest of the reef in the prospect. AED's Cremer 1-1 well, as Brown 2-12, is located within the Niagaran oil reef structure. The Niagaran Reef Play covers about 4,000 square miles. Reef-substrate areas range from about 40 to about 840 acres, and recoverable reserves range from 30,000 to 22 MM Bbls, and have 200--700 ft of relief. The Niagaran Reef Play consists of onshore oil and gas accumulations trapped in pinnacle reefs within the northern segment of a circular trend of reefs in the Michigan Basin. Historical records of the Niagaran reef production in Michigan confirm over 4,200 wells being drilled, targeting reef formations and producing a total of 472 MMBO and 2.8 TCF gas, with development of reef trends in the area driven by Royal Dutch Shell, BP and ExxonMobil. According to a recent USGS report on the basin, the recoverable reserves are in excess of 1.8 billion barrels of oil and 17 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
