|
Concentrate on our existing core area in and around the D-J Basin, where we have significant operating experience.
All of our current wells and our undeveloped acreage is located either in or adjacent to the Wattenberg Field. Focusing our operations in this area leverages our management, technical and operational experience in the basin.
|
•
|
Develop and exploit existing oil and natural gas properties.
Since inception, our principal growth strategy has been to develop and exploit our properties to add reserves. In the Wattenberg Field, we target three benches of the Niobrara formation as well as the Codell formation for horizontal drilling and production. We believe horizontal drilling is the most efficient way to recover the potential hydrocarbons and consider the Wattenberg Field to be relatively low-risk because information gained from the large number of existing wells can be applied to potential future wells. There is enough similarity between wells in the Wattenberg Field that the exploitation process is generally repeatable.
|
•
|
Improve hydrocarbon recovery through increased well density.
We utilize the best available industry practices in our effort to determine the optimal recovery area for each well. When we began our operated horizontal well development program in the Wattenberg Field, we assumed spacing of 16 wells per 640 acre section. With increased experience and industry knowledge, we are now testing up to 24 horizontal wells per section.
|
•
|
Complete selective acquisitions.
We seek to acquire developed and undeveloped oil and gas properties, primarily in the core Wattenberg Field. We generally seek acquisitions that will provide us with opportunities for reserve additions and increased cash flow through production enhancement and additional development and exploratory prospect generation.
|
•
|
Retain control over the operation of a substantial portion of our production.
As operator of a majority of our wells and undeveloped acreage, we control the timing and selection of new wells to be drilled or existing wells to be re-completed. This allows us to modify our capital spending as our financial resources and underlying lease terms allow and market conditions permit.
|
•
|
Maintain financial flexibility while focusing on operational cost control.
We strive to be a cost-efficient operator and to maintain a relatively low utilization of debt, which enhances our financial flexibility. Our high degree of operational control, as well as our focus on operating efficiencies and short return on investment cycle times, is central to our operating strategy.
|
•
|
Use the latest technology to maximize returns.
Our primary focus is drilling wells that have 7,000' to 10,000' of lateral as opposed to the 4,000' laterals that were initially drilled in the Wattenberg Field. Increasing the number of wells drilled within a given drilling section, drilling longer laterals, and applying technical advances in drilling and completion designs is leading to enhanced productivity. Production results from various well designs are analyzed, and the conclusions from each analysis are factored into future well designs that take into account spacing between hydraulic fracturing stages, potential communication between wellbores, lateral length, timing and economics.

Award Determination
|
Except as set forth below under the headings “Special Vesting Events” and “Change in Control,” the number of PSUs earned by the Participant shall be determined in accordance with this section. At the end of the Performance Period, the PSU Peer Companies and the Company shall be ranked together based on their TSR for the Performance Period with the highest TSR company being number 1 and the lowest TSR being the number of PSU Peer Companies, including the Company, remaining in the group at the end of the Performance Period, with any and all Failed Companies and Delisted Companies being ranked in last place on the list.
