Abraxas expects to be in a position to announce further acreage acquisitions in the Eagle Ford in the near future.

We look forward to an active development program on our 4,000+ net acre, 100% working interest lease block at Jourdanton in 2014. “On the A&D front, Abraxas continues to execute on adding quality lease blocks in our targeted regions of the Eagle Ford as evidenced by the recent Dilworth East acquisition.
