"During the second quarter, we began drilling in both conventional and unconventional formations.

Parker, Chairman and CEO of Recovery Energy. "During the second quarter, we also participated in the drilling of three unconventional horizontal wells targeting the Niobrara formation in the Wattenberg area. The three horizontal wells were placed into production in July and early results are positive. The Company's current production rate stands at approximately 375 Boep/d, which represents a 75% increase from the Company's first quarter 2012 production rate. Our conventional drilling program will continue with plans to spud four more wells targeting the 'J' and Wykert sands. We also expect to participate in the drilling of additional unconventional wells as various operators propose them."
