The company owns and operates oil and gas properties throughout the Rocky Mountains, the Midcontinent Region, California, and the Permian Basin. Bayswater’s strategy is three-fold: 1) to acquire low risk working interests in producing oil and gas fields in North America based upon a thorough subsurface understanding of the field and a plan to redevelop and improve the field performance. Bayswater either holds the enhanced asset longer term or sells to another operator. (“New Opportunities in Old Fields”); 2) to acquire and drill low-risk non-producing acreage in repeatable, low cost, development areas (“Drilling Factory”); 3) to assemble prospective acreage positions with significant resource potential, utilizing both internal and external prospect generators and to achieve financial returns by selling those prospects to industry partners while retaining upside through over-rides and carried interests (“Prospect Generation and Sales”). About Mr. Struna Mr. Struna has over 32 years of petroleum industry experience in engineering, operations, finance, planning, and general management. Prior to joining MHA, and launching Bayswater Exploration & Production he held a wide variety of positions with BP, Amoco, Tenneco, Graham Resources, and Schlumberger.

“We must all push on the walls until eventually we break through”—Cesar Chavez
This Week's Goal: Finalize your Take Action project proposal and take action! Why? So that you can develop the strategic planning and leadership skills necessary to make impactful change both now and in the future! Why? Because, those who feel they have ownership over their lives, do work that they are passionate about, and can create their own reality, report being happier and feeling more successful in life. As 5th century Greek philosopher, historian and general, Thucydides once said, "The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage" Announcements
