No further drilling is anticipated in this acreage block at this time.

Keith Larsen, CEO said, "Although we are disappointed with the results of the initial well on the Colorado acreage, the team did a great job and we gained a wealth of operational knowledge during the drilling of this well." For more information contact: 800-776-9271.
