During the month of June, Ameriwest produced approximately 340 barrels of oil from 5 wells on the South Glenrock "C" oil field at approximately 10-15 barrels of oil per day. The Company plans on completing several work over programs intended to increase production to 35+ BOPD in the coming months.

As part of its development plan, Ameriwest intends on implementing a full CO2 flood on the South Glenrock "C" property. NITEC LLC has projected that production on the South Glenrock "C" property could reach a peak rate of 2,800 BOPD with a full CO2 flood with an incremental 4.9 million standard barrels of oil being produced.
