QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING 31 MARCH 2012
OVERVIEW
The first quarter of 2012 continued to be challenging however the Board, management, and staff made considerable progress towards laying the foundation for a strong and sustainable future for the Company.
PRODUCTION OPERATIONS
During the quarter the Dunn-McCampbell A4 well on Padre Island and three of the Sullivan City wells continued to flow gas, producing and selling a total of 6,337Mcf of gas (an increase of approximately 87% from the previous quarter), generating revenue of some $14,981 (an increase of approximately 3% from the previous quarter) for the Company. It should be noted that whilst gas production increased during the quarter, since 4Q 2011 the gas price received has declined some 31% and this adversely affected revenues.
In addition, some 334 barrels of oil (condensate) were also sold generating revenue of some $34,517.
ASSET REVIEW
Substantial progress was made on the technical and economic review of the Company’s Texas based assets. The review has used available data to assess the current and future value potential of the Padre Island and Sullivan City assets.
