Austin Exploration nominated for Rocky Mountains Exploration & Production Company of the year.

Austin Exploration (ASK:AKK) is one of four finalists for an award as the Rocky Mountains Exploration & Production
company of the year. The nomination for the prestigious TEEMCO award recognises Austin’s work at its Pathfinder project in the DJ Basin in Fremont County, Colorado.
Austin was the first company to drill and produce from the Niobrara shale in the Florence oil field, Colorado, where its first horizontal well came on to production at 403BOEPD.
Dr Mark Hart, Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are honoured to receive this nomination, which is a reflection of the outstanding team that we have at Austin.”
Guy Goudy, President of US operations, said: “Austin is proud the work we have done at our flagship Pathfinder property has been acknowledged by the Colorado oil and gas community in this way”.
The winner will be announced on March 13 at the Rocky Mountain Oil and Gas awards to be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel
in Denver, Colorado.
Austin also has an interest in 5,000 acres in Eagle Ford Shale in Texas, as well as producing oil and gas properties in
Kentucky, Mississippi and Texas.
