2008 Non-Acquisition Capital ExpenditureBudget by Economic Risk $80 Million (1) Development: Activity targeting primarily conventional proved undeveloped reserves aimed at conversion to proved developed producing status. (2) Exploitation: Activity targeting shale plays known to be hydrocarbon bearing. Principal project risk is the ability to establish commercial development. (3) Exploration: Activity targeting discovery of reserves from previously untested formations with significant geological and commercial risk present.
