The grants are subject to certain conditions and are expected to fund approximately 50% of the drilling costs.- Production from the Odin and Vali gas fields continued during the quarter, with Odin-1 and Odin-2 wells producing an average of 1.48 MMscfd and the Vali-1 well producing an average of 0.39 MMscfd.- Sales revenue for the quarter was $367,600, 6% lower than the prior quarter, due to lower gas production.- Metgasco remains in active discussions for potential acquisition of new oil and gas assets and/or other corporate opportunities with a view to recapitalizing the business.- The company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $253,000.

Outlook

Metgasco is actively pursuing new oil and gas asset acquisitions and other corporate opportunities to recapitalize the business. The company is also focused on maximizing the performance of its existing gas producing assets in partnership with its joint venture partners.
