First Utica 'Flat Castle' Well Ahead of Expectations

The Company turned to sales its first Utica Shale well in its "Flat Castle" project area in northern Pennsylvania, with a completed lateral length of approximately 13,800 feet.

After cleaning up the well has consistently produced at the Company's target rate of approximately 32 MMcf per day and appears to be performing ahead of the Company's expectations over the first 35 days of production.

Benjamin W. Hulburt, Chairman, President and CEO, noted: "We are very excited about the strong initial production results achieved in our first Utica Shale well in our 'Flat Castle' project area in northern Pennsylvania. After initial cleanup the well's production quickly achieved our target rate of approximately 32 MMcf per day which was expected to continue for an initial flat period of 30 days. The well's production continued at this level after reaching the 30 day period which is encouraging to us and we will be continuing to monitor this well's performance closely."
