The information in this Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements relating to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results. Forward-looking statements, can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology such as "believes," "suggests," "expects," "may," "goal," "estimates," "should," "likelihood," "plans," "targets," "intends," "could," or "anticipates," or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon, or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy or objectives. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements in this Form 8-K include, without limitation, the Company’s expectations of the oil and gas in place, drilling schedules and success rates, the reliability of 2D and 3D data, resource information and other performance results, or the likelihood that a drilled or prospective well will be successful. These statements are made to provide the public with management’s current assessment of the Company’s business, and it should not be assumed that reserves are proven recoverable as defined by SEC guidelines or that actual drilling results will prove these statements to be correct. Security holders are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 8-K only as of the date hereof, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to report any updates or revisions to any such statement to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Certain factors may cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made in this Form 8-K. Please carefully review our filings with the SEC as we have identified many risk factors that impact our business plan.
