Item 7.01   Regulation FD Disclosure.

The Company announced that drilling from the new Corvina platform is projected to start in the second half of 2012 and drilling in Albacora may start after the 3D seismic is acquired and interpreted.  No significant new production is anticipated next year so 2012 average production is expected to remain consistent with average production for 2011.  However, beginning in 2013, the Company expects to see production increasing as more wells are drilled from the new Corvina platform.

The Company’s ability to maintain or increase oil production cannot be assured and depends on numerous factors not entirely within the Company’s control.  See “Forward Looking Statements” below.

Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward looking statements are based on our current expectations about our company, our properties, our estimates of required capital expenditures and our industry. You can identify these forward-looking statements when you see us using words such as “expect,” “will”, “anticipate,” “indicate,” “estimate,” “prospective,” “plans” and other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties.

Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward looking statements. Such uncertainties include the success of our project financing efforts, accuracy of well test results, well refurbishment efforts, completion of the new drilling and production platform, results of seismic testing, successful production of indicated reserves, satisfaction of well test period requirements, successful installation of required permanent processing facilities, receipt of all required permits, and the successful management of our capital expenditures, and other normal business risks. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. We caution you not to place undue reliance on those statements.
