Chief Executive Officer W. Michael Ford said: "We are very pleased with the current results of the Caza Ridge well. The information acquired is positive for this well and for our Bone Spring drilling program in general. The Permian Basin is known for stacked pay zones, and log and core data from the well have confirmed the presence of multiple potential pay zones containing oil and liquids-rich natural gas.
"We look forward to completing the horizontal section of the well and scheduling a frac job in order to complete the well and bring it on line in the near future. We also expect to commence drilling operations on our Forehand Ranch Bone Spring prospect on or before October 1, 2012, and will update the market accordingly."
