Management Comments

"Osage’s financial and operational results for 2013 were very solid with high growth rates in production, reserves, and adjusted EBITDA,” stated Jack Zedlitz, Vice President of Corporate Development at Osage Exploration and Development. “A truer indicator of Osage’s growth prospects will be revealed this year as we begin to operate our own Mississippian and Woodford wells in Logan County, and begin drilling in Pawnee and Coal Counties. While our 2013 results were very good, we believe that in the future we will do better.”
