text: **Environmental Issues**
  
  The Group is committed to the environmentally sustainable development of its operations and, while the Group’s operations 
  are subject to significant environmental regulation under the laws of the states in which we operate and the United States of 
  America, no notice of any breach has been received and the Directors believe no material breach of any environment 
  regulations has occurred. The Company maintains strict internal performance and reporting guidelines to capture all spills and 
  emissions. Additionally, a third party firm is used to conduct quarterly environmental inspections to ensure the company is 
  meeting both internal and external standards. 
  
  In the Group’s Oklahoma asset, significant company and regulatory scrutiny has been placed on seismic events in proximity to 
  salt water disposal wells (“SWDs”). Prior to the development and operation of our SWDs, the company undertook a study of 
  the state approved disposal zones and successfully drilled and completed its SWDs in state approved zones that accept 
  sufficient volumes of water to meet the company’s operational objectives while minimizing the potential risk of seismic events. 
  During 2014, all of the Group’s SWDs were reviewed and approved by the state regulatory agency. 
  
  During 2014 the Group undertook a review of its operations in Texas and has identified two main opportunities to reduce its 
  environmental impact: 1) water recycling and re-use for completion operations in the Eagle Ford; and 2) more efficient and 
  less environmentally impactful treatment of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) from the company’s natural gas production in the Eagle 
  Ford. During 2015 the Company expects to implement operational changes to capitalize on these opportunities to reduce its 
  environmental impact.
