31 Maggio 2024 - 8:02AM
Prospera Energy Inc. ("
Prospera" or the
"
Corporation") (PEI: TSX-V; OF6A: FRA)
Traditionally, Q1 of every year has been burdened by severe cold
weather conditions in western Canada and this year was no
exception. Consequently, Prospera’s 2023 exiting peak rates of
1,800 boepd were affected by Q1 2024 PEI cold weather conditions.
However, PEI was significantly better positioned to resume
production on a much quicker timeline than in the same period the
year before. In Q1 2024 Prospera continued to focus on operations
stability and stable production. Q1 2024 financial highlights are
as follows:
- PEI realized average gross sales of
935 boe/d gross (net 640 boe/d) in Q1 2024, an increase of 158%
from Q1 2023 gross sales of 363 boe/d (net 295 boe/d). The increase
was due to additional production online from the 2023 development
program, however, the Q1 2024 production average was affected from
the Q1 cold weather conditions.
- Due to higher production and price levels, PEI realized a 168%
increase in sales revenue of $4,180,901 in Q1 2024 compared to
$1,562,012 in Q1 2023.
- Consequently, the higher volumes attributed to a 49% reduction
to operating expenses of $33.74/boe in Q1 2024 compared to
$65.67/boe in Q1 2023.
- Higher volume, revenue, and lower
operating costs contributed to an operating income increase of
$1,555,747 from a loss of -$995,840 in Q1 2023 to $559,907 in Q1
2024.
- Net cash flow from operating
activities increased by $6,198,666 quarter over quarter from
-$5,404,465 in Q1 2023, to cash provided of $794,201 in Q1
2024.
- Capital Expenditures of $1,893,257
were incurred in Q1 2024 related to well optimization, facilities,
pipelines & commissioning related activities.
Selected financial and operational information
outlined below should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
financial statements and related management’s discussion and
analysis (MD&A) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

2024 Outlook
In 2024, Prospera will continue to extend its
horizontal transformational development accessing untapped heavy
oil reserves while reducing the environmental footprint. Further,
expand these developments to the remaining core properties that
have much larger reserves in place. Also, larger focus is on
developing medium-oil reserves Q3, 2024.
PEI will be undertaking significant vegetation,
abandonment and reclamation program that can result in opex and
asset retirement liability reduction.
About Prospera
Prospera 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 oil in place (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.
The Corporation 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.
