Business Description

U.S. Energy Corp. is a Wyoming corporation organized in 1966. The Company is an independent energy company focused on the acquisition and development of oil and gas producing properties in the continental United States and other mineral properties. Its oil and gas business is currently focused in the Rocky Mountain region, Louisiana, and Texas. It continues to focus on increasing production, reserves, revenues and cash flow from operations while managing its level of debt. It currently explores for and produces oil and gas through a non-operator business model. As a non-operator, it's relied on its operating partners to propose, permit, drill, complete and produce the oil and gas wells. Before a well is drilled, the operator provides all oil and gas interest owners in the designated well the opportunity to participate in the drilling and completion costs and revenues of the well on a pro-rata basis. Its operating partners also produce, transport, market and account for all oil and gas production. The Company is involved in: the exploration for and development of minerals (molybdenum) through its ownership of the Mt. Emmons Project located in west central Colorado, which is a long-term development mining project, geothermal resources through Standard Steam Trust LLC ("SST") and Remington Village Apartments, a multi-family housing project serving the residential market in Gillette, Wyoming, which is generating positive cash flow and is held as a property held for sale at December 31, 2011. It has two operating segments: Oil and Gas and Maintenance of Mineral Properties (including molybdenum and geothermal). It participate in oil and gas projects primarily as a non-operating working interest owner through exploration and development agreements with various oil and gas exploration and production companies. Its working interest varies by project. These projects may result in numerous wells being drilled over the next three to five years. It's also actively pursuing potential acquisitions of exploration, development or production-stage oil and gas properties or companies. Its competitors consist of major and intermediate sized integrated oil and natural gas companies, independent oil and natural gas companies and individual producers and operators. In particular, it competes for property acquisitions and for the equipment and labor required to operate and develop its properties. Its operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, including NEPA, the Clean Air Act, and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972.
