OTC: GXRFF, FRA: OF6B, OF6B.SG, OF6B.F, OF6B.BE)
Since 2021 Q1, Restructured Prospera has
methodically executed the planned development phases and attained
drilling results exceeding expectations and substantiating the
technical and economical applications. The nine heavy oil
horizontal drills and one medium light oil deviated well delivered
initial production exceeding the expected initial production rates.
Medium-light oil well was flowing at 500 bblspd and has stabilized
to 300bblspd substantially exceeding the anticipated 75bblpd. The
heavy oil horizontal wells yielded on average 100bblpd of initial
production higher than expected. These results enabled Prospera to
attain 2023-year end peak rates of 1,800 bblspd with the capability
to 2,200bblpd. Further, Prospera executed the drilling program
technically efficiently and economically under budget. This
resulted in a favorable capital payout in less than 6 months for
medium-light oil and an average payout of 9 months for the
horizontal heavy oil wells. These results are expected to increase
the reserve valuation substantially from the 2022-year end 2P
valuation of 72 million. The third party 2023 year-end reserve
valuation is expected in the coming weeks.
Based on the 2023 successful drilling results,
Prospera is positioned to increase production primarily in medium
light oil and continue the horizontal transformation to capture the
substantial remaining heavy oil reserves. The horizontals enable
Prospera to reduce environmental footprint, operating expense and
asset retirement liability while appreciating production. PEI is
proposing a robust 2024 capital development and acquisition plan to
achieve 2024 year-end exit target rate of 5,000 boepd. The proposed
capital program entails five geologically & seismically
delineated medium-light oil wells and fifteen low risk infill heavy
oil horizontal wells. Also, includes light oil acquisitions to
diversify the heavy-light product mix to optimize margins (letter
of intent to complete in Q2 of this year). The 2024 development,
ARO reduction and acquisitions are funded through existing cash
flow and non-dilutive credit facilities that are expected to be in
place in the second quarter.
Prospera has bolstered the operations and
production engineering team with experienced professionals to
attain and sustain a monthly average of 2,000 boepd by end of the
first quarter. The 2,000 boepd per month is expected to equate to
gross revenue of $4.2 million CAD per month ($70/bbl) and $2.1
million field netback ($35/bbl). The heavy oil horizontal wells are
currently being optimized gradually, while the medium-light oil
infrastructure is being constructed to accommodate the current and
planned 2024 drills. Meanwhile, the development teams are preparing
for the upcoming 2024 capital program to commence after break-up
(in the latter part of Q2 2024).
In addition, significant ARO reduction projects
are planned for the summer 2024 that include 40+ wells abandonment
and lease reclamations. Also, a facility/pipeline turnaround is
planned, which includes maintenance and calibration to accommodate
the proposed development.
About Prospera
Prospera Energy Inc. (TSX.V: PEI, OTC: GXRFF,
FRA: OF6B) is a publicly traded energy company based in Western
Canada, specializing in the exploration, development, and
production of crude oil and natural gas. Prospera is primarily
focused on optimizing hydrocarbon recovery from legacy fields
through environmentally safe and efficient reservoir development
methods and production practices. Prospera was restructured in the
first quarter of 2021 to become profitable and in compliance with
regulatory, environmental, municipal, landowner, and service
stakeholders.
The company is in the midst of a three-stage
restructuring process aimed at prioritizing cost effective
operations while appreciating production capacity and reducing
liabilities. Prospera has completed the first phase by optimizing
low hanging opportunities, attaining free cash flow, while bringing
operation to safe operating condition, all while remaining
compliant. Currently, Prospera is executing phase II of the
restructuring process, the horizontal transformation intended to
accelerate growth and capture the significant remaining reserves
(400 million bbls). These horizontal wells allow PEI to reduce its
environmental and surface footprint by eliminating the numerous
vertical well leases along the lateral path. Phase III of
Prospera’s corporate redevelopment strategy is to optimize recovery
through EOR applications. Furthermore, Prospera will pursue its
acquisition strategy to diversify its product mix and expand its
core area. Its goal is to attain 50% light oil, 40% heavy oil and
10% gas.
PEI continues to apply efforts to minimize its
environmental footprint. Also, efforts to reduce and eventually
eliminate emissions, alongside pursuing innovative ESG methods to
enhance API quality, thereby achieving higher margins and
eliminating the need for diluents.
