The Leininger 3-10-1H well, the second horizontal Three Forks well in the winter drilling program, has produced for 75 days. The Leininger well averaged productive capacity of 242 boe/d (93% oil) over the last 7 days of production and 248 boe/d (93% oil) over the last 30 days of production, respectively.

The Olson 35-26-1H well, the third horizontal Three Forks well in the winter drilling program, has produced for 47 days.  The Olson well averaged productive capacity of 256 boe/d (93% oil) over the last 7 days of production and 274 boe/d (85% oil) over the last 30 days of production, respectively.

References to productive capacity relate to the fact that the Company is successfully marketing the above-referenced oil production and is actively looking for opportunities to market the above-referenced gas production.
