Mid-Continent
Shallow
LINN's Mid-Continent Shallow assets consist primarily of wells at depths of approximately 3,200 feet in the Brown Dolomite formation of the Texas Panhandle and wells at depths of less than 8,000 feet in Oklahoma. This region produced 63 MMcfe/d in 2009.
Texas Panhandle
Wells in the Texas Panhandle shallow produce oil and natural gas from the Brown Dolomite formation. Production from this reservoir has a high BTU content – resulting in a significant amount of NGL extraction, which increases the rate-of-return for these projects. LINN has been an active driller in this area since 2007.

Oklahoma, Louisiana and Illinois
The Company has a number of shallow, primarily oil (80 percent by reserves) properties in southern and northeastern Oklahoma, as well as portions of Louisiana and Illinois. These include several waterfloods, most notably the Naval Reserve and Osage Hominy Units in Osage County, Oklahoma. These low-decline rate-properties have provided a significant number of opportunities to increase production through low-risk, capital-efficient optimization projects across the operating area.
