Crimson Exploration Inc., together with its subsidiaries, (“Crimson”, “we”, “our”, “us”) is an independent energy company engaged in the exploitation, exploration, development and acquisition of natural gas and crude oil properties.  Our operating areas include the onshore U.S. Gulf Coast, South Texas, East Texas, Southeast Texas and Colorado regions, which are generally characterized by high rates of return in known, prolific producing trends.  We have expanded our strategic focus to include longer reserve life resource plays that we believe provide significant long-term growth potential in multiple formations.  We are also focusing on further developing our oil/liquid weighted assets.
