re: MAY PRODUCTION

I received a phone call directing me to a DOGGR website I used to use as a source for TIV's monthly production quantities.

ftp://ftp.consrv.ca.gov/pub/oil/monthly_production_reports/2008/

I have an email in to DOGGR requesting clarification on the discrepancy between the numbers shown there and the numbers shown on the Well Summation page for Tri-Valley:

http://opi.consrv.ca.gov/opi/opi.dll/Search?UsrP_ID=100090301&FormStack=Main%2COperator&Opr__ID=100000315&Action=Get+Sums+&PriorState=Encoded%3DTrue

Obviously if one looks at both it is easy to see the major difference is that the FTP site contains May production numbers for the Oxnard fields totaling 9696 bbls.

This supports some estimates made here a while back based on the 2Q08 10Q:

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=31399458

"that leaves 65,000 bbls equivalent of oil/gas to spread over May and June , with possibly most of THAT being in June"

9696 bbls from Oxnard in May would be an average of just over 300 BOPD during May.

My question is this:

If the PV wells' production is confidential , why is it showing up on one part of the DOGGR site?

In answer to a query to DOGGR about discrepancies between the numbers on their FTP and HTTP sites , the following answer was given with regards to the FTP site numbers:

"That’s estimated data. Better wait for the real thing on the OPI server."

So , as stated above , I have a followup email into DOGGR inquiring about the 9696 bbls showing on the FTP site , with the questions obviously having to do with accuracy , estimates , and why would any production numbers having to do with Confidential Wells show up anywhere on DOGGR's website.

Can't wait to hear the answer!
