NOTE 2 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

PEDEVCO is an oil and gas company focused on the development, acquisition and production of oil and natural gas assets where the latest in modern drilling and completion techniques and technologies have yet to be applied. In particular, the Company focuses on legacy proven properties where there is a long production history, well defined geology and existing infrastructure that can be leveraged when applying modern field management technologies. The Company’s current properties are located in the San Andres formation of the Permian Basin situated in West Texas and eastern New Mexico (the “Permian Basin”) and in the Denver-Julesburg Basin (“D-J Basin”) in Colorado and Wyoming.  The Company holds its Permian Basin leasehold acres located in Chaves and Roosevelt Counties, New Mexico, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Energy Development Corp. (“PEDCO”), which asset the Company refers to as its “Permian Basin Asset,” and operates its Permian Basin Asset through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries EOR Operating Company and Ridgeway Arizona Oil Corp.  The Company holds its D-J Basin leasehold acres located in Weld and Morgan Counties, Colorado, and Laramie County, Wyoming, through its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary PRH Holdings LLC, which asset the Company refers to as its “D-J Basin Asset,” and operates its D-J Basin Asset through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC (“Red Hawk”).

 

The Company believes that horizontal development and exploitation of conventional assets in the Permian Basin and development of the Wattenberg and Wattenberg Extension in the D-J Basin represent among the most economic oil and natural gas plays in the United States (“U.S.”).  Moving forward, the Company plans to optimize its existing assets and opportunistically seek additional acreage proximate to its currently held core acreage, as well as other attractive onshore U.S. oil and gas assets that fit the Company’s acquisition criteria, that Company management believes can be developed using its technical and operating expertise and be accretive to shareholder value.
