We are an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the development, exploitation, exploration and acquisition of primarily crude oil properties in the deepwater region of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. We focus on acquiring and developing operated, deepwater assets that we believe have untapped, lower-risk drill bit opportunities and will provide strong cash flow and significant production potential. This strategy allows us to benefit from the favorable geologic and economic characteristics of the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico fields.
