Management Comments
Mr. Wayne Hall, Chief Executive Officer of Petro Resources, said: "I am very pleased with the operational success the Company achieved in 2007." Mr. Hall continued, "The significant increase in proved reserves, production and revenue are primarily the result of our acquisition and enhanced oil recovery operations in the Williston Basin along with exploratory drilling success in both the Williston Basin in North Dakota and the Cinco Terry Field in Texas. Our 2007 results provide a meaningful benchmark that should make it easier for investors to value the Company."
