USE entered a second Eagle Ford participation deal with Crimson Exploration, acquiring 30% of Crimson's working interest in about 7,186 acres (2,156 net to USE) in Zavala and Dimmit Counties, Texas - bringing USE's total Eagle Ford position to roughly 11,861 gross acres with up to 70 potential drilling locations, complementing its existing Leona River acreage with the same partner.
USE's Rough Rider Bakken wells with Brigham kept delivering strong results - four wells completed in Q2 2011 with initial rates as high as 2,375 BOE/d, and all 15 spacing units now held by production - though unusually severe North Dakota flooding disrupted access to some sites; separately, USE spudded its first well on a new operated Colorado prospect.
