 Acreage in Marshall and Wetzel counties in West Virginia is the current focus of our activities and capital budget, with 95 well locations identified for near-term drilling. The first two wells put on sales in the third quarter of 2011 - the Wengerd 1H and 7H - had very strong initial production, with a combined 30-day average gross sales rate of 7.1 MMcf/d of natural gas with 176 barrels of condensate and 347 barrels of NGLs
