Additionally, the Company recorded a write-down related to the Markwells Wood-1 exploration well in the United Kingdom operated by Northern Petroleum. As a result, an exploration expense of $2.2 million was recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. No further write-downs were recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2013.
