Davis is an independent private oil and gas exploration, development and production company. The Company is focused primarily on opportunities in the onshore Gulf Coast and offshore Gulf of Mexico, where it has developed significant technical expertise and where the high production rates associated with hydrocarbon deposits have historically provided it the best opportunity to achieve a rapid payback on its invested capital. This focus and historic success provide the Company a solid foundation for future high impact projects in the Gulf of Mexico.

Davis uses its geologic and geophysical expertise to identify and acquire attractive oil and natural gas mineral rights. After acquisition of mineral rights, the Company then sells pre-drill equity to other industry participants who help fund the exploratory drilling capital. Because Davis now generates all of its prospects, the Company can control the size of the working interest that it retains as well as the selection of the operator and the non-operating participants.

The Company also has complete drilling, completion, oilfield operations and marketing staff, and operates projects whenever possible. Every effort is made to minimize the time to bring successful wells to sales, which is assisted by the Company owning certain gathering lines and processing facilities in key focus areas. The Company currently does not operate in the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico where appropriate operating partners are selected during the prospect marketing process.

As a result of this business model, the Company is afforded access to a large and disproportionate number of opportunities for a company its size, thus improving the likelihood of achieving success and increasing the number of wells drilled. This strategy is consistent through all aspects of the business although they may manifest in different ways across the various geographic areas.
