• Increased average total production to 5,261 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the third quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 23% over the same period of 2010.

“We continue to see meaningful results from the successful execution of our onshore initiative which resulted in year-over-year production growth of 23% in the third quarter,” Fred Callon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, explains. “In particular, our aggressive development program in the Permian Basin continues to pay strong dividends. Since year-end 2010, we have increased net daily production from our Permian assets by 135% and have a multi-year inventory of potential drilling locations. Due to the attractive economics of this oil-biased asset, we’ve allocated additional resources and capital to the profitable exploitation of these drilling opportunities and increasing our average daily production of crude oil to 56% of Callon’s total production.”
