PEDEVCO 公司已与总部位于丹佛的私募股权支持的 E&P 公司签订了联合开发协议，以在丹佛-朱尔斯堡 (DJ) 盆地开发钻井间隔单元 (DSU)。

PEDEVCO 3 月 3 日表示，两家公司将在科罗拉多州韦尔德县开发其 Roth 和 Amber DSU。这家私募股权公司的名称及其支持者尚未披露。

根据协议条款，作为运营商支付约 170 万美元的交换，PEDEVCO 同意向科罗拉多州能源和碳管理委员会提交空间申请，将公司现有的 Roth 和 Amber DSU 面积从约 1,280 英亩修改为约 1,600 英亩。PEDEVCO 将把 DSU 的运营权转让给运营商，并共同参与 Roth DSU 的开发，双方各拥有不少于 40% 的工作权益。

运营商将于 2025 年第三季度开始在 Roth DSU 钻探五口新水平井，预计第四季度完工。如果油井未能及时开始钻探，PEDEVCO 保留接管作业的权利。

五口 Roth DSU 井完工后（最迟在 2026 年 6 月 30 日），运营商将有权收购 PEDEVCO 在 Amber DSU 的租赁权益高达 50%，这意味着该公司和运营商各自持有高达 45% 的工作权益。

PEDEVCO 总裁兼首席执行官 J. Douglas Schick 表示，联合开发协议使该公司与“DJ 盆地顶级运营商之一”达成一致，将于 2025 年开发我们的 Roth DSU。

Schick 表示：“运营商在该地区拥有一个连续运行的钻机，这将使 PEDEVCO 能够从此次合作中实现规模经济和成本节约。”“EDEVCO 与运营商密切合作，并在过去几年中与运营商一起参与了多个经济效益极高的项目，这让 PEDEVCO 对他们对这些 DSU 的运营充满信心。”

PEDEVCO Corp. has entered into a joint development agreement with a Denver-BASED private equity-backed E&P to develop drilling spacing units (DSU) in the Denver-Julesburg (D-J) Basin.

The companies will develop PEDEVCO’s Roth and Amber DSUs in Weld County, Colorado, the company said March 3. The name of the private equity firm and its backer were not disclosed.

Under the terms of the agreement, in exchange for the operator's payment of approximately $1.7 million, PEDEVCO agreed to submit spacing applications to the Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission to amend the company's existing Roth and Amber DSUs to approximately 1,600 acres from approximately 1,280 acres. PEDEVCO will transfer operatorship of the DSUs to the operator, and jointly participate in the development of the Roth DSU, with each party having not less than a 40% working interest.

The operator will commence the drilling of five new horizontal wells in the Roth DSU in third-quarter 2025, with completion estimated in the fourth quarter. PEDEVCO retains the right to assume operations in the event the wells are not timely commenced.

Upon the completion of the five Roth DSU wells—but no later than June 30, 2026— the operator will have the option to acquire up to 50% of PEDEVCO’s leasehold interest in the Amber DSU, resulting in each of the company and the operator holding up to 45% of the working interests.

J. Douglas Schick, PEDEVCO president and CEO, said the joint development agreement aligns the company with one of the “top operators in the D-J Basin to develop our Roth DSU in 2025.”

“The operator has a continuous rig running in the area, which should result in PEDEVCO realizing economies of scale and cost savings from this collaboration,” Schick said. “PEDEVCO has worked closely with the operator and has participated in several highly economic projects with the operator over the past several years, which gives PEDEVCO a high degree of confidence in their operatorship of these DSUs.”
