ITEM 8.01 Other Events

 

As previously reported, on September 3, 2014 the Chief of the Division of Oil and Gas Resources Management (‘Chief or Division”) issued orders to immediately suspend all operations of both the Company’s saltwater injection wells as a result of a seismic event that occurred on August 31, 2014. On September 5, 2014, the Company submitted the information required by the Chief’s Order in regards to the Company’s AWMS #1 injection well. The Division reviewed all the information submitted by the Company and additional data. Based upon this review, the Division concluded that with reasonable scientific certainty, the injection operations of AWMS #1 were not related to the deep seismic event that occurred on August 31, 2014. As a result, the Order suspending all operations of AWMS #1 was terminated effective September 18, 2014. As such, the Company resumed injection operations of AWMS #1 consistent with all terms and conditions of the permit issued on July 18, 2013.
