For the remainder of fiscal year 2012, our capital expenditure budget calls for us to invest approximately $81.4 million. Of this, we expect to invest approximately $50 million to drill two wildcat exploration wells in the Gulf of Mexico, at an estimated dry hole cost of approximately $25 million each, net to Contango, subject to permitting approval by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement. We also plan to invest approximately $19.6 million in Alta Energy Partners, LLC, and $11.8 million to complete payment on several capital projects.
Our production is currently 78.1 million cubic feet equivalent per day, net to Contango. As of August 29, 2011, we had no debt and approximately $120 million in net available cash.
