After expanding the region with acquisitions in the Raton Basin in 2003 and the Uinta Basin in 2004. In the conventional and tight sand activities, the Company's development programs continue to increase production and grow reserves. In the San Juan, the Fruitland coal development is expanding to thinner coals via horizontal drilling. Field production in the Raton Basin now exceeds 80 MMCFPD, up from 29 MMCFPD at the time of acquisition in 2003. In the Uinta Basin, XTO continues to expand the limits of the Natural Buttes field with 40-acre step-out wells. The 20-acre infill program in Natural Buttes shows minimal reduction in IP’s and EUR’s from 40-acre wells.
