Background

Rampart Energy is exploring two areas of the North Slope of Alaska for both conventional and unconventional oil. The company signed an agreement in May of 2013 to earn into leases owned by Royale Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:ROYL).
Rampart believes that there is a very large upside in the area, as illustrated by the Prospective Resource numbers published in August of 2013, and notes that exploration in the region is heavily supported by the State of Alaska's incentive system which provides for exploration costs to be reimbursed. The work program currently consists of 3D seismic acquisition in 2014 and the drilling of 2 wells during 2015.
