Aztec Oil & Gas Inc. announced that Aztec gained control over operations of the Guthrie Ranch field in Brown County, Texas, effectively in early 2012. After that, there was a period of time needed to inventory, clean up the former operator's (Ziegler Peru Inc.) presence, and implement the typical standard operations in the field to which Aztec is accustomed. Once the change over was accomplished, Aztec began focusing on the field operation and production.

The result of Aztec's production improvement program for the Aztec Brown County wells is beginning to show. For the 14 months that ZPI operated the field, monthly reporting of oil production averaged 286 barrels. After the start up period for Aztec, the company is reporting approximately 436 BO per month average over the last few months, with approximately 828 BO produced for October 2012.
