This information is

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), or
otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and such information is

Forward-Looking Statements and

This
Report on Form 8-K contains certain statements that are, or may be deemed to
be, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Exchange Act. All statements, other than statements of historical facts,
included herein or incorporated herein by reference are forward-looking
statements. Included among forward-looking statements are, among other things:
•
statements regarding our anticipated
production volumes, results of exploration, exploitation, development,
acquisition or operations expenditures, and current or prospective reserve
levels with respect to any property or well, or the ability to replace oil and
gas reserves;
•
statements related to commodity prices for oil
and gas or with respect to the supply of and demand for oil and gas;
•
statements relating to our proposed
acquisition, exploration, development and/or production of oil and gas
properties, prospects or other interests and any anticipated costs related
thereto;
•
statements regarding any financing
transactions or arrangements, or ability to enter into such transactions;
•
statements relating to the construction or
acquisition of vessels or equipment, including statements concerning the
engagement of any engineering, procurement and construction contractor and any
anticipated costs related thereto;
•
statements that our proposed vessels, when
completed, will have certain characteristics or the effectiveness of such
characteristics;
•
statements regarding projections of revenues,
gross margin, expenses, capital costs, earnings or losses or other financial
items;
•

our business plans or any other plans, forecasts or objectives;
•
statements regarding any Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") or other governmental or regulatory
inquiry or investigation;
•
statements regarding anticipated legislative,
governmental, regulatory, administrative or other public body actions,
requirements, permits or decisions;
•

industry trends, performance or industry ranking;
•
statements related to the underlying
assumptions related to any projection or forward-looking statement;
•
statements related to environmental risks,
exploration and development risks, or drilling and operating risks;
•
statements related to the ability of the
Company to retain key members of its senior management and key employees;
•
statements regarding general economic or
political conditions, whether international, national or in the regional and
local market areas in which we do business; and
•
any other statements that relate to
non-historical or future information.
These
forward-looking statements are often identified by the use of terms and phrases
such as "achieve," "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate," "expect," "forecast,"
"plan," "project," "propose,"
"strategy," "predict," "envision,"
"hope," "intend," "will,"
"continue," "may," "potential,"
"achieve," "should," "could" and similar
terms and phrases. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these
forward-looking statements are reasonable, they do involve assumptions, risks
and uncertainties, and these expectations may prove to be incorrect. You should
not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Our actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed in
"Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or
persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these
risk factors. Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made,
and other than as required under the securities laws, we assume no obligation
to update or revise these forward-looking statements or provide reasons why
actual results may differ.
