In Tight of current drillings plans proposed for the Trail Ridge project area, one drill rig will be drilling 12 wells throughout the winter months (November 15, 2008 — March 31, 2009) from a COGCC approved drill pad in Section 25: T5N-R97W, and from another pad in Section 28: T5N- R97W (APD's submitted for COGCC approval).
