Denver-based Gasco Energy, Inc. (OTCQB: GSXN) is a natural gas and oil exploitation and development company focused on natural-gas-rich prospects in the Rocky Mountain area of the United States, specifically in Utah’s Uinta Basin. Additional exploration leasehold is located in California.

The Company’s principal business strategy is to enhance stockholder value by using technologies new to a specific area to generate and develop high-potential exploitation resources in this area. Gasco’s principal business is the acquisition of leasehold interests in petroleum and natural gas rights, either directly or indirectly, and the exploitation and development of properties subject to these leases.

Gasco currently focuses its efforts in the Riverbend Project located in the Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah, targeting the Wasatch, Mesaverde and Blackhawk, Mancos and Dakota/Morrison gas bearing formations and the oil-prone Green River Formation. As of December 31, 2012, Gasco held interests in 114,569 gross acres (44,077 net acres) located in Utah and 41,716 gross acres (16,873 net acres) in California.

The Rockies represent the largest untapped, drillable potential for natural gas supply in North America. The Potential Gas Committee (PGC) estimates ultimate recovery of total gas reserves in the Rockies at 230 trillion cubic feet, excluding coalbed methane. The PGC estimates the greatest potential for non-associated natural gas in the Rocky Mountain region is concentrated in southwestern and south-central Wyoming, adjacent northwestern Colorado and northeastern Utah. This region includes the Uinta, Piceance and Greater Green River Basins.
