Young Oil Co. 750 West Fifth Street Fort Worth, Texas May 17, 1982 Dear Mr. Valder: Enclosed please find the results of the organic geochemical analyses performed on well cutting samples from the Cockrell 411 Stat eh?&, located in Luna County, New Mexico. I\ Upon arrival at the lab, the samples were assigned the GeoChem Job Number 2288, and were submitted to the following analytical program: Type of Analysis - Table Total organic carbon determination and brief lithological description... I Visual kerogen assessment...;ii Due to the organic-lean nature of these rocks, as determined from the organic carbon screen analyses performed, pyrolysis analysis was not carried out on any of these samples. A. Thermal Maturity DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS The thermal maturity of the sediments from the analyzed well interval ranges from an immature Maturation Index Stage 1+ to 2- at feet, within the Lobo, to a moderately mature Maturation Index Stage to 2+ at feet, within the El Paso. Kerogen assessment was performed on the smpie from the underlying Bliss Sandstone, however it appears that this sample is comprised predominantly of thermally immature cavings. Consequently, no maturity data is available for this unit, however by extrapolating from the overlying moderately mature rocks, it can be safely assumed that these Cambrian rocks have attained at least a moderately mature maturation level.

3 Mr. Clayton Valder -2- May 17, 1982 The sediments at feet are thermally immature and prospective for only biogenic methane gas. Frm feet to feet, the rocks are moderately mature and considered-to be within The oil window. B. Hydrocarbon Source Characterization The rocks analyzed from well interval feet to feet are organic-lean with poor hydrocarbon source yharacteristics. If the moderately mature rocks analyzed in this well were encountered at an organically-rich position elsewhere in the basin, then significant hydrocarbon generation could have occurred. Should you have any questions concerning this data assistance to you, please feel free to contact us. or if we can be of further Yours truly, st Enclosures
