Our goal is to develop Rockdale into a self-sufficient operator that is profitable during low oil prices and can take advantage of the windfall in the oil industry. By investing in technology and creating our own service environment, with falling equipment prices, we can maintain low operating costs no matter what the price of oil may be.
