Encore Acquisition Company, using the experience of our senior management team, has developed and refined an acquisition program designed to increase our reserves and to complement our core properties. We have about 35 engineering and geoscience professionals who manage our core properties and use their experience and expertise to target attractive acquisition opportunities. Following acquisition, our technical professionals seek to enhance the value of the new assets through a proven development and exploitation program. Since our inception in 1998, Encore has successfully acquired producing oil and natural gas properties totaling over $850 million.

Encore continues to evaluate North American acquisition opportunities, particularly those that complement existing reserves or provide potential for exploitation and development upside.
