Item 8.01                                           Other Events.

 

On October 11, 2013, Reef Oil & Gas Drilling and Income Fund, L.P. (the “Registrant”), received an option (the “Option”) from an affiliate of the general partner of the Registrant (the “Interest Owner”) to purchase an interest (the “Interest”) in an oil and gas property (the “Property”) located in McKenzie County, North Dakota.  The Property, which is identified in the map included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K, is part of a drilling unit (the “Unit”) containing 1,160 gross acres in the Bakken formation and 1,280 gross acres in the Three Forks formation.  The Bakken-Three Forks is a highly-active area in North Dakota with more than 1,700 horizontal wells completed in 2012.

 

ConocoPhillips, Inc. is the operator of the Unit.  The Interest represented by the Option consists of a 45% interest in an oil and gas lease covering 28 net acres in the Unit (12.6 net acres to the Interest).  The lease represents a 1.125% working interest in two Bakken wells and a 0.984375% working interest in four Three Forks wells.  One of the Three Forks wells has been drilled in the Unit to total depth and is awaiting completion and one of the Bakken wells has commenced drilling.  Three additional Three Forks wells and one additional Bakken well are planned to be drilled in the Unit by ConocoPhillips, which could yield a total of six new producing wells in the Unit.  Based on ConocoPhillips’ recent drilling reports with respect to the drilled Three Forks well, the Interest Owner believes that the additional Three Forks wells will be spud in the near future, subject to to weather, drilling rig availability and other factors.

 

Pursuant to the Option, the Registrant is entitled to acquire the Interest by giving notice of exercise at any time prior to November 15, 2013, which date may be extended at the sole discretion of the Interest Owner. If the Registrant exercises its Option to acquire the Interest prior to the expiration of the Option, the Registrant must pay approximately $27,000 to the Interest Owner to reimburse it for actual costs incurred to acquire the lease. In addition, the Registrant must pay its share of the total costs to acquire the lease and to drill and complete the six wells in the Unit, which is estimated to be approximately $675,000 in the aggregate, which amount is payable upon billing by ConocoPhillips in connection with the drilling and completion of the wells in 2013 and early 2014.
