Osage Exploration and Development Announces Second Quarter Earnings

Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. (OTCBB:OEDV), an independent exploration and production company focused on the Horizontal Mississippian and Woodford plays in Oklahoma, reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and provided an update on field operations. For the quarter, the Company reported a 75.8% increase in revenues of $2.4 million compared to the same period in 2012, and operating income of $1.2 million versus a loss of $274,563 for the period ending June 30, 2012.

Second Quarter Drilling and Production

Osage participated in drilling ten wells during the second quarter, bringing the total number of wells in which Osage has an interest to twenty-nine as of June 30, 2013. Additionally, the Company reported average daily production roughly in-line with first quarter production.

Improved Field Operations

Constraints imposed by the previously announced construction of an electrical grid and a gas gathering system to service the Nemaha Ridge project are being resolved as those construction projects near completion. While construction was ongoing, most new wells had been placed on an intermediate lift system with a lower production capacity. Since the end of the second quarter, eight of those wells have been placed on a higher capacity permanent lift system with substantially good early results.

Large Production Gains

Improved field operations and production from wells brought online in the third quarter have resulted in large gains in oil production in Osage’s Nemaha Ridge project. As of August 12th, oil production on Slawson-operated wells has more than doubled in the six weeks since the end of the second quarter to a one-day rate of 2,000 barrels of oil per day plus gas, bringing Osage’s net oil production from those wells to over 400 barrels of oil per day plus gas. Additionally, production from five wells operated by Devon, Stephens Production Company, and Sundance Energy in which Osage has a working interest bring the Company’s current net daily production rate from the Nemaha Ridge Project to roughly double Osage’s average production rate in the second quarter.

Management Comments

“Osage has redefined itself as a company over the past nine months by virtue of our high drilling rate. The twin bottlenecks of electrical service and gas gathering infrastructure in Logan County are largely behind us now. Also, as the scale of the project has demanded, we have brought in additional experienced talent to optimize our completion, production, and use of artificial lift technologies with an immediate and dramatic jump in production since the end of the second quarter. We believe that we have crossed an inflection point in our field operations,” stated Mr. Kim Bradford, Chairman and CEO of Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. “In the next year, expect us to continue to evolve as our oil and gas production from our Nemaha Ridge project grows and as we target the beginning of exploration drilling in one or both of our new Mississippian and Woodford projects.”
