Detailed surveys costing a total of $41,000 were done during January and February on the leases. During July, Bartz entered into two test-well contribution agreements: a bottom- hole contribution agreement for $15,000, with a specified depth of 11,000 feet, and a dry-hole contribution of $20,000, also with a specified depth of 11,000 feet.
