Operational Review

RedWater continues to focus on re-activating shut-in oil and gas wells, primarily those with low capital requirements and short payback periods. Improving oil and gas prices has created an opportunity to re-activate recently acquired Norris assets and previously shut in gas wells. We intend to focus on our internal opportunities for the near-term and will continue to review external opportunities as we concentrate on maximizing cash flow.
