"We are reaffirming our January exit rate at approximately 500 boepd, which would include the production from the SE Lusk 33 #3H, Ocelot 34 Fed Com #1H, and Zircon 2 #1H, and are optimistic about our 2nd Bone Spring acreage in both Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico, due to optimal sub-surface control as well as offsetting and/or on-trend production. These wells are identified as developmental rather than exploratory and currently booked as one Proved Undeveloped, one Probable, and two Possible, thus potentially proving up additional reserves for Cross Border shareholders," stated Everett "Will" Gray II, CEO and Chairman of Cross Border. "We intend to update our other Permian Basin activity within the next several weeks and will continue to keep shareholders apprised of the results of these wells."
