Well Completions

Current Drilling

"During the month of November, the Company added approximately 65 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("boepd"), during initial flow back rates, with expectations of bringing on an additional 35 boepd during the month of December," stated Everett "Will" Gray II, CEO and Chairman of Cross Border. "Currently with these gains, we expect to exit 2011 with approximate daily production of 420 boe. Our expectation of exiting 2011 with approximate daily production of 500 boe has been revised downward by approximately 16% due to a 30-day delay of the spudding of the SE Lusk 33 #3H, Ocelot 34 Fed Com #1H, and the Zircon 2 #1H.  All three of these wells are currently drilling with expectations of reaching total depth during the month of December.  We expect completions of these three wells would take place during the month of January, assuming availability of service personnel.  Once these wells provide initial production rates in January 2012, we expect approximate daily production to reach our previously guided 500 boepd."

Hedge Agreement

On November 17, 2011, Cross Border entered into an additional fixed-price swap for 2,000 barrels of oil per month through November 30, 2014, at a NYMEX-WTI price of $93.50 per barrel for a total contracted volume of 72,000 barrels.

The new WTI oil fixed-price swaps are tabulated below.
