Hello Everyone!
Steve Richards wanted me to forward his email below to all Investors and video recipients…
Subject: RE: Found Soldier Federal #1 - FINAL REPORT
To all our investors and video recipients:
Firstly, I’d like to thank Denny Migl for putting these daily reports together every day; rain, snow, or shine! I think you will agree that his reports have kept us all up to date on operations in a way that few people outside the industry can see. The videos filmed by Jacek Bogucki have been excellent, and clearly explain operations in a way words alone could never do, thank you, Jacek. I also think everyone can get a sense of our excitement to drill these wells and see the results of our efforts to gain the energy that our society needs to maintain our modern way of life.
To all of you, on behalf of the management team here at Lost Soldier Oil and Gas, I’d like to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and best wishes for 2025. May the new year bring all of us health, safety, and prosperity in the year ahead. Thank you again for your confidence in Lost Soldier Oil and Gas.
Yours very truly,
Steve Richards

Subject: Found Soldier Federal #1 - FINAL REPORT
Good Morning Everyone!
Today is Monday, December 9, 2024, 6:00 am MST. At report time, we are currently RDMO (“Rig Down Move Out”) Rig 88.
Yesterday, we ND (“Nipple Down”) the BOP stack and NU (“Nipple Up”) the wellhead.
This doesn’t sound like much until you actually see the nuts and bolts of what these rig hands do.
Please refer to the two attached pictures.
The red flange on top is what we call a “blind” flange since the well has not been completed. It is only temporary.
Right below blind flange is the C Section, here, the 4½” production casing is seated and hung off.
Right below C Section is the B Section, here, the 7” intermediate casing is seated and hung off.
Below the B Section is the bradenhead which is welded onto the 9 5/8” surface casing. It is barely visible at the bottom of the stack.
All of the wellhead components shown in the pictures are rated to 10,000 psi working pressure.
They are held together with (16), one foot long, 1½” diameter bolts, each one with a nut on top and bottom.
It takes almost 8 hours for 2 to 4 hands to “NU the wellhead” in 25⁰F weather.
Current plans are:- Haul off mud and clean pits.
- RDMO Rig 88 to Jeffrey City yard.
Well, folks, that’s about it!
This will be the FINAL REPORT for the well!
We have had our ups and downs during the well, but we have gained some very valuable information along the way that will be of great benefit in upcoming wells.
We have gained some very encouraging data from the Shannon 5 and also what appears to be a new productive zone in the Shannon 1 section!
Will spend the winter researching the data from the rotary sidewall cores and evaluating the open hole logs to optimize future development plans in 2025 and beyond.
Y’all have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed holiday season!!
Please remember the reason for the season.
Enjoy!!
P.S. Jacek may have a video forthcoming when the derrick is lowered………..we’ll see.

Welcome to Lost Soldier Oil and Gas –
Your Partner in Responsible Energy Development and Land Stewardship
At Lost Soldier Oil and Gas, we proudly undertake the crucial task of conscientiously developing oil and gas minerals in Wyoming’s Bison Basin. Our commitment, however, goes beyond becoming a major supplier of America's energy needs. We also recognize the paramount importance of safeguarding the land's surface, since much of our minerals are on public lands, home to grazing cattle, elk, antelope, and wild mustangs.
Lost Soldier Oil and Gas takes pride in its dual role – helping foster both the oil and gas industry's and the region's economic growth, while ensuring the welfare of our public lands. Join us on our journey of responsible development and sustainable land management.
Thus, our dedication extends not only to the oil and gas sector, but also to the preservation of the area's environment. This year, as we become the operator of the Wild Mustang Federal Unit, we become stewards of these lands, and we understand the significance of maintaining a delicate balance. Consequently, as we work to develop the Bison Basin's immense potential, and therefore ensure a thriving local economy, we have also assumed the responsibility of protecting the area’s ecosystem.
