Leah Smith, VP, Acquisition, POGO Production
Pogo's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Paul G. Van Wagenen, said, "Once again, Pogo enjoyed much higher Gulf
of Mexico production volumes, largely driven by its drilling success at Main Pass Blocks 61/62 field. Pogo's third quarter
revenues rose 45% year-over-year. Pogo's success in 2002 has been accomplished by much higher production rates
despite a year-to-date drop of 31% in natural gas prices and 8% in crude oil prices compared to the same period last
year. Production for the first nine months of 2002 has jumped 67% for oil, condensate and plant products, and 19% for
natural gas, compared with the first nine months of 2001. Our challenge is to continue this pattern of drill-bit success,
and I believe Pogo is up to that task."
