of these wellbores is part of our strategy of acquiring assets we
believe to have low-risk and high production profiles. We
are continuing our efforts to locate and acquire new lease opportunities
consistent with our growth-at-a-reasonable-price philosophy".
Glen
Harrod, Vice President of KROG stated, "We feel there are opportunities
to enhance production through optimization of the existing producing
wells, and re-establishing production from the shut-in wells through
repairs of the submersible pumps and enhancement and expansion of
