Over the last three decades H. Roice Nelson, Jr. has led geotechnical teams redefining methodologies and tools for hydrocarbon exploration. This work has changed the way every oil and gas company in the world looks for oil and gas, it has resulted in better discovery rates, many significant new oil and gas field discoveries, and has provided key technology drivers in the "reengineering" of the petroleum industry.
With the dawning of a new millenium, Roice decided to find hydrocarbons using the technologies he has helped create and emerging technologies he has yet to share, rather than to develop, enhance, and sell tools for others to use, which allows them to retain most of the economic benefit. To meet this end, several strategic development partners have formed Dynamic Resources Corporation ("Dynamic"). As a professional NetWork of proven oil finders, we are creating the first practical implementation of the widely discussed "virtual oil company." The Dynamic Professional NetWork uses both traditional exploration tools and methodologies, as well as new data mining and pattern finding tools and proven synergistic team processes.
Dynamic is raising money to fund the geotechnical work necessary to define where to purchase mineral leases, where to collect additional data, and where to optimally drill for hydrocarbons. Investment options include:
Dynamic has identified a strategic gap in exploration activities - namely identifying Prospects within the framework of regional geologically defined new exploration Concepts. The majors and the large independents stopped most of their regional geotechnical work in the continental U.S. when the industry downturn occurred about a decade ago. Dynamic's data mining technologies show how this stoppage resulted in far fewer new discoveries. Dynamic is going to fill this gap and make up for the decrease in discoveries. Dynamic is looking for a few investors who are interested in a significant return on their investment and are interested in access to new hydrocarbon reserves.
The Dynamic Professional NetWork (NetWork") has thousands of years of experience (100+ scientists and engineers with an average of 20 years experience). In addition, NetWork members have proprietary technologies and CLPs (new exploration Concept(s) [like using bright spots to find gas or exploring subsalt], Lead(s) [places to look and ways to look for undrilled compartments], and Prospect(s) [leased properties with drilling location(s), typically confirmed with 3-D seismic]). The following summarizes the Dynamic exploration process.
Dynamic has an exclusive contract with Richard Nehring and NRG Associates providing access to the NRG database, and a guarantee of 21 new exploration Concepts and Leads in the Gulf Coast AOI (Area-Of-Interest) during 2001. Each Concept is anticipated to include many Leads and dozens of drilling Prospects. Because much of the Gulf Coast AOI is onshore, it is anticipated many of the Concepts and Leads will be for wells in the 12-20,000 foot depth range.
Dynamic has a similar agreement with Dr. Bob Ehrlich and his partners at Residuum Energy, Inc. Residuum will provide dedicated staff to support Dynamic generation of CLPs, proprietary tools for cleaning and vetting geotechnical databases, multivariate data analysis tools for automatically indexing and mining databases, mapping undrilled compartments, and mapping geohistory from databases of 20,000 or even 100,000 wells and other geotechnical data.
Dynamic is contractually committed to Dr. Peter Duncan and his colleagues at Chroma Energy to sell the use of Chroma pattern finding technologies, which are particularly useful to extrapolate reservoir rocks from well control through pattern finding using the multiple attributes of a 3-D seismic survey, in exchange for overriding royalty interests or the equivalent as part of Dynamic's interaction with other oil companies, to provide consultants to work on E&P projects, and to subcontract Chroma Energy to work on Dynamic E&P projects.
Dynamic has a contract with Dr. Sam LeRoy and EarthView Associates to provide dedicated technical support, including being the Team Leader for the Gulf Coast AOI, specifically using recent research on dynamic pressure fields to find dynamically replenishing oil and gas fields in the Gulf Coast AOI.
By partnering with proven professionals already working in a specific area, Dynamic is able to apply NetWork technologies to exploration projects across the globe. The first focus area is the Gulf Coast AOI, which includes New Mexico (except the San Juan and Raton Basins), Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and adjacent state and federal waters. Because Roice designed, tested, and trained numerous users in Landmark Graphics interactive interpretation software, hypertext tools, and immersive visualization tools, and because he has lifetime licenses to each key technology, Dynamic is starting 2001 with state-of-the-art technology and extensive experience in using technology to find CLPs. In addition, a 4+ year partnership with Dave Agarwal and Les Denham of Interactive Interpretation & Training gives access to a dozen GeoQuest licenses and a downtown Houston office. The NetWork also brings the latest technologies and tools from suppliers like Seismic MicroTechnology, or new developments in prestack depth seismic processing, in azimuthal anisotrphy, in seismic modeling and inversion, in core and cuttings scanning, seismic scale outcrop analogs, etc.
Dynamic's business model is to identify new CLPs, lease mineral rights, collect new data when necessary, and partner with operators in exchange for an overriding royalty interest, a production performance bonus, or a working interest carried to the tank. Dynamic's existing contracts guarantee more new exploration Concepts than most independent oil companies have ever generated. The Concepts developed for Dynamic by Richard Nehring, Bob Ehrlich, Peter Duncan, Sam LeRoy, Heloise Lynn, Roger Anderson, Dick Coons, and other NetWork members will only be available to Investors and Partners under non-disclosure.
Existing AMI Agreements are described in the table on the next page. Dynamic has agreements with expert teams with proven track records for turning Concept(s) and Lead(s) into Prospect(s). Because of the exploration nature of Dynamic's efforts, there will be some dry holes. Risks will be quantified for Investors prior to expenditure of funds, and Investors will be partners in the process of determining which wells to drill first. This is part of the excitement of an exploration company.
Proprietary tools for skill, resource, case history, best and worst practice, and activity indexing (Knowledge BackboneSM), spatial indexing (Infinite GridSM), and temporal indexing (TimeDexSM) provide a new way to document successes and failures and to confidentially share information with on-line Investors and Partners using the Internet. Dynamic's documentation and data mining tools enable faster and smarter work than the competition, and the ability to do it with a smaller staff at less expense. The result will be a better return for investors than is available elsewhere in the oil patch.

Dynamic Oil & Gas Corporation was founded on May 22, 1991 in Houston, Texas for the purpose of commercializing the Global Basin Research Network's dynamic replenishment research (see http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/GBRN/doe_report/081593/0893.html). Because of other activities Dynamic was mothballed until January of 2001, and has been reformed as Dynamic Resources Corporation, a Texas Corporation. These investment opportunities in Dynamic Resources Corporation represent a unique opportunity resulting from technical advances over the last decade in understanding relationships between porosity, temperature, pressure, dynamic pressure fields, fluid migration, trapping, and fluid extraction. The principals associated with Dynamic developed these technologies, and are cataloging related Best Practices in order to find and produce previously invisible hydrocarbons. Dynamic is the virtual oil company, and is exploiting how recent price increases have created economic incentives to once again explore.
