Management Comments
EnerJex’s CEO, Robert Watson, Jr., commented, “2012 was an outstanding year for the Company, and I am proud of our team’s accomplishments and thankful for their hard work. EnerJex has an opportunity to rapidly grow in 2013, and management will be focused on increasing the Company’s total proved reserves while maximizing value for stockholders on a per-share basis.”
Commenting further, Mr. Watson stated, “EnerJex is on schedule to achieve during the next month a milestone which will enable the Company to increase the size of its Mississippian Project by approximately 1,000 acres and expose it to a significant amount of new reserve potential in 2013. In addition, the Company has identified approximately 400 drilling locations in its Cherokee Project which are not currently booked as reserves. These locations offset or are in close proximity to established oil wells, and I am optimistic that the development of these assets will add a significant amount of new reserves during 2013.”
