Hastings Field is a significant potential tertiary oil flood that we planto flood with CO 2 delivered from Jackson Dome using our Green Pipeline, which is currently under construction. Weoriginally entered into an agreement in November 2006 with a subsidiary of Venoco, Inc., that gave us the optionto purchase its interest in the Hastings Field. As consideration for the purchase option, we made total payments of$50 million which makes our aggregate purchase price $251 million. The seller retained a 2% override and reversionaryinterest of approximately 25% following payout, as defined in the purchase agreement. We plan to commence floodingthe field with CO 2 beginning in 2011, after completion of our Green Pipeline and construction of field recycling facilities.Under the purchase agreement, we are required to make net capital expenditures in this field totaling $179 million overthe next five years, including our first obligation of $26.8 million during 2010, and are committed to begin CO 2 injectionsManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsForm 10-K Part II
