DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - October 05, 2016) - Foothills Exploration, Inc. (
"The Company's Exploration Division seeks to build a portfolio of world class exploration projects in the Gulf coast region both onshore and offshore to complement our activities in the Rockies," said B.P. Allaire, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Our recent hires, Ritchie Lanclos, Executive Vice President of Exploration and Eleazar Ovalle, Executive Vice President of Geology & Geophysical, will be the senior officers heading this new division," explained Mr. Allaire "and through their applied expertise we intend to increase our capabilities in identifying and developing oil and gas resources in the Gulf Coast," he added.
The executives leading the Company's Exploration Division are industry recognized experts who have developed a proprietary exploration methodology based on leading edge technology, which the Company believes may mitigate geologic risk and can deliver high impact, high reward exploration prospects. This proprietary approach involves an algorithm based model that employs AVO seismic expertise, sub-salt modeling techniques and the analysis of hydrocarbon migration pathways to super charged oil accumulations and proven petroleum systems.
The Division's executive management team has made prolific discoveries both onshore and offshore, and has expertise in the commercial exploration and development evaluations in sub-salt deepwater Gulf of Mexico, the application of economic risk modeling and extensive knowledge of regional geologic trend analogs applied to salt modeling.
