COMPANY

Ridgeland Operating Company, LLC, ("Ridgeland") a Texas Limited Liability Company, was established in 2005 as the result of the acquisition of 2 oil fields in East Texas. The purpose of Ridgeland is to engage in oil and gas acquisition, exploration, development, and production.

Ridgeland's mission is to deliver superior returns to our investors through consistent, profitable operations and prudent management of the risks inherent to the oil and gas industry. This is accomplished through prudent acquisitions of producing property and the generation of exploration prospects.

Ridgeland acquires properties with significant upside potential where value can be added through operational efficiencies. We continually review opportunities to acquire strategic producing properties where performance can be enhanced through developmental drilling or secondary recovery techniques.

Ridgeland generates a balanced portfolio of oil and natural gas projects that are low risk and low cost with a high upside potential. We explore and develop our own projects as well as participate in projects developed by technically excellent partners who have successful track records.

Ridgeland focuses on domestic, onshore prospects with multiple productive sands, significant proven and potential reserves, and opportunities to obtain a controlling interest and serve as operator. We will continue to expand through the addition of diversified production and drilling opportunities covering a range of potential risks and rewards.
