UPSTREAM STRATEGY  INCREASE PRODUCTION & RESERVES

The Company’s strategy is to profitably increase production and reserves through conventional drilling and development of its inventory of low risk organic prospects, while targeting future growth opportunities in and around its current core areas. Upstream is actively pursuing property acquisitions in the shallow state and federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico as well as onshore along the Louisiana and Texas Gulf Coast. With strong base production, additional organic opportunities, ability to lower costs, and a debt-free balance sheet, Upstream is well positioned to capitalize on the current opportunities in the energy industry.

Our ultimate goals are: health & safety

Upstream Exploration is a performance-driven company whose highest priorities are the health and safety of the personnel performing our work and the protection of the environment.
