Madison and Grimes County, Texas

Crimson has approximately 18,500 net acres in Madison and Grimes counties, Texas, covering three areas the Company refers to as Force, Iola-Grimes, and Chalktown where it has been actively developing the Woodbine. The oil potential in all three areas has been confirmed by production tests. The Woodbine section in each of these areas has slightly different characteristics, including different sand lobes within the overall Woodbine section and it is expected that more than one well will be required in each area to optimize the best landing point and completion practices required to maximize production and recovery. Crimson is very encouraged by the results to date and confident that this area will deliver a multi-year inventory of impactful and superior rate of return oil projects which will contribute significantly to Crimson's growth story.

Crimson estimates there are approximately 115 net potential drilling locations in its Woodbine acreage based on 160 acre spacing. Assuming Crimson's average type curve EUR of 400 Mboe (90% oil and natural gas liquids) per location, total net potential in its Woodbine acreage is over 34 Mmboe, which represents more than five times Crimson's net liquids reserves booked at year-end 2011.

In addition to the Woodbine activity, there is ongoing development by multiple operators surrounding Crimson's acreage position within the Eagle Ford, Georgetown, Buda, and Glen Rose formations, all utilizing the same horizontal and multi-frac completion technology employed in the Woodbine.

In the Eagle Ford, recent wells drilled in adjacent Brazos, Robertson, and Leon counties have had IP's in excess of 600 bopd. The Eagle Ford section across Crimson's acreage position has similar reservoir characteristics, thickness, porosity, resistivity, and shows in existing wells. Assuming development on 80 acre spacing, the Eagle Ford could potentially add up to an additional 230 locations and 68 Mmboe of net potential to Crimson's position.

The Georgetown was recently tested by an offset operator adjacent to Crimson's Force acreage at an IP of over 700 bopd. The Georgetown is a 300' thick carbonate section that has historically produced from both vertical and horizontal open-hole completions. The use of horizontal multi-frac completions potentially changes the Georgetown from a statistical play to a repeatable resource opportunity. Assuming development on 320 acre spacing, the Georgetown could potentially add up to an additional 58 locations and 17 Mmboe of net potential to Crimson's position.

The evolution of the Buda Lime is very similar to that of the Georgetown, where recent wells employing horizontal multi-frac technology have resulted in IP's of over 600 bopd. This technology potentially changes the Buda from a statistical play to a repeatable resource opportunity. Assuming development on 320 acre spacing, the Buda could potentially add up to an additional 58 locations and 17 Mmboe net potential to Crimson's position.

Thanks Dbob,

  I am still learning --------- I was not aware that the Georgetown was that prolific ---- it would seem that we are in for a GOOD ride
