Description for term of capital lease   If the Company meets the conditions of the leases the Company will then be permitted to drill on and produce oil from the land into perpetuity. These conditions give the Company until the expiration of the leases to meet the following requirements on its oil sands leases: 1) The original requirement was to drill evaluation wells on each section within the lease, however the Alberta Department of Energy has temporarily relaxed the drilling requirements under section 3(2)(a) of the Oil Sands Tenure Regulation of the Mines and Minerals Act of Alberta. Under the relaxed rules the Company would now have to drill 26 wells throughout the 68 sections to preserve all of the Company's nine oil sands leases; or 2) drill evaluation wells on at least 60% of the sections within the lease of which 25% of the evaluation wells must be cored, and acquire and process two miles of seismic data for the remaining undrilled sections within the lease.
