The Company is currently drilling the  Nunnery 12-1H-1 (91.2% WI) well in Amite County Mississippi, the Beech Grove 94H-1 (66.7% WI) well in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana and the SLC, Inc. 81H-1 (66.7% WI) well in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana.  All wells are planned to be drilled in the lower target with a minimum of 6,000 foot laterals and use the modified completion design.
