Bateman Lake is a gas condensate field beneath the Atchafalaya River south of Morgan City in St. Mary Parish, 75 miles southwest of New Orleans. First production from the field was established in 1934

• Bateman Lake is an elongate, north plunging anticline with a fault system along the crest.
• The field produces from more than 30 Pliocene through Lower Miocene sands from 1,400' to 15,000'.
• Cumulative production has exceeded 2.3 TCF and 152 MMBO.
• Large contiguous leasehold (13,780 acres), covering most of the known productive area of the field; a field wide unit insures that all of this acreage is HBP
• An exploration partnership has been formed to exploit numerous un-tested fault blocks in many of the known pay sands. The exploration agreement calls for two new wells drilled per year.
• Recently reprocessed 3D seismic data is being evaluated for unrecognized potential.
