MIDLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Permian Resources Corporation (“Permian Resources” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PR) today announced that it has entered into a series of portfolio management transactions, comprising of a bolt-on acquisition, a divestiture of non-operated production and acreage and a divestiture of a portion of its water infrastructure assets in Reeves County, Texas.


“At Permian Resources, we believe our focus on portfolio management will continue to drive value for our shareholders. The combined transactions high-grade our portfolio, adding 45 top-quartile locations, 4,000 net acres with significant development potential and 3,100 net royalty acres while generating approximately $100 million in net cash proceeds,” said James Walter, Co-CEO of Permian Resources.

Acquisition Summary

Permian Resources has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 4,000 net leasehold acres, 3,300 net royalty acres and 1,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boe/d”) (73% oil) of net production, located predominantly in Lea County, New Mexico from an undisclosed third-party for a total purchase price of $98 million.

This purchase price reflects an acquisition value of approximately $8,000 per net leasehold acre and approximately $7,000 per net royalty acre. The properties’ operated position consists of largely undeveloped acreage and is contiguous to one of the Company’s existing core blocks in Lea County. Permian Resources has identified approximately 45 gross operated two-mile locations from the properties being acquired that immediately compete for capital within the existing portfolio. The acquired properties also include non-operated acreage largely adjacent to and surrounding Permian Resources’ position, which the Company plans to utilize for future acreage trades and other portfolio management transactions.

Non-Operated Divestitures Summary

Permian Resources also announced the divestiture of producing, non-operated properties in Reeves County consisting of approximately 1,800 Boe/d (44% oil) and 3,500 net leasehold acres to an undisclosed third-party for $60 million, reflecting a valuation multiple of greater than 5x 2023 estimated EBITDA. The divested acreage represents the substantial majority of the Company’s non-operated position in Texas and included minimal remaining inventory.

The Company also sold a non-operated position consisting of 300 net leasehold acres in Eddy County, New Mexico for $35,000 per net acre, resulting in approximately $10 million of net proceeds.

Midstream Infrastructure Transactions Summary

The Company signed definitive agreements with an undisclosed third-party that result in Permian Resources divesting a portion of its saltwater disposal wells and associated produced water infrastructure in Reeves County for total consideration of $125 million. The full consideration will be received at closing with $60 million subject to repayment if certain thresholds tied to Permian Resources’ future drilling activity in the service area over the next several years are not met. The Company expects to retain the full consideration based on its current development plan. The counterparty has a strong record of operating midstream assets, and the divested infrastructure has ample additional capacity to service the Company’s future produced water disposal needs. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2023, subject to regulatory approval.

(For maps and further details summarizing Permian Resources’ recent acquisition and divestitures, please see the presentation materials on its website under the Investor Relations tab.)

2023 Preliminary Outlook

The Company is not adjusting its previously announced fourth quarter 2022 and full year 2023 preliminary outlook as a result of these transactions and plans to issue full year 2023 guidance concurrent with its fourth quarter and full year 2022 earnings results.

About Permian Resources

Headquartered in Midland, Texas, Permian Resources is an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the responsible acquisition, optimization and development of high-return oil and natural gas properties. The Company’s assets and operations are located in the core of the Delaware Basin. For more information, please visit www.permianres.com.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The information in this press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this press release, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this press release, the words “could,” “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “goal,” “plan,” “target” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events.

Forward-looking statements may include statements about:

  • volatility of oil, natural gas and NGL prices or a prolonged period of low oil, natural gas or NGL prices and the effects of actions by, or disputes among or between, members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”), such as Saudi Arabia, and other oil and natural gas producing countries, such as Russia, with respect to production levels or other matters related to the price of oil;
  • the effects of excess supply of oil and natural gas resulting from reduced demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken in response by certain oil and natural gas producing countries;
  • political and economic conditions in or affecting other producing regions or countries, including the Middle East, Russia, Eastern Europe, Africa and South America;
  • our ability to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies from the recently-closed merger and effectively integrate the assets of Centennial and Colgate;
  • our business strategy and future drilling plans;
  • our reserves and our ability to replace the reserves we produce through drilling and property acquisitions;
  • our drilling prospects, inventories, projects and programs;
  • our financial strategy, return of capital program, liquidity and capital required for our development program;
  • our realized oil, natural gas and NGL prices;
  • the timing and amount of our future production of oil, natural gas and NGLs;
  • our ability to identify, complete and effectively integrate acquisitions of properties or businesses;
  • our hedging strategy and results;
  • our competition and government regulations;
  • our ability to obtain permits and governmental approvals;
  • our pending legal or environmental matters;
  • the marketing and transportation of our oil, natural gas and NGLs;
  • our leasehold or business acquisitions;
  • costs of developing or operating our properties;
  • our anticipated rate of return;
  • general economic conditions;
  • weather conditions in the areas where we operate;
  • credit markets;
  • uncertainty regarding our future operating results;
  • our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions contained in this press release that are not historical; and
  • the other factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any updates to those factors set forth in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.

We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the development, production, gathering and sale of oil and natural gas. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, inflation, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services, risks relating to the merger, environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating oil and gas reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures and the other risks described in our filings with the SEC.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any oil and gas reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data, and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this press release occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release.

Combined Funding in Europe and North America Reaches an All-Time High of $82B in 2022, with Europe Growing 26% Faster than the U.S.

LONDON & PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Net Zero Insights, the leading market intelligence platform for climate tech in Europe and North America together with Alder & Co., a purpose-driven climate tech marketing agency, today announced year-end climate tech investment results for 2022 totaling a record-setting sum of $82 billion, a 20% increase compared to 2021. While the majority, $43.9 billion, came from the U.S., Europe’s total funding reached $35.6B, representing a 33% year-over-year increase, compared to only 7% in the U.S.



Europe’s funding surge of 33% was driven by investments in energy, which saw an increase in funding by 81% ($18.5B), followed by transport ($9.4B), circular economy ($7.1B) and industry ($6B). The sectors showing the strongest growth in Europe are industry (+645%), GHG capture, removal and storage (+457%) and emissions control, reporting and offsetting (+433%). Climate tech companies from the United Kingdom scored the highest funding ($8.1B), followed by Sweden ($7.7B) and Germany ($5.3B). Finland saw the biggest year-over-year growth of any European country driven by four mega-deals respectively across supply chain tracking, climate fintech, quantum computing and circular electronics.

“Unsurprisingly, energy was the strongest sector in Europe, with investors seeing a resurgence of renewable energy projects and technologies to strengthen Europe’s energy independence,” said Frederico Cristoforoni, co-founder, Net Zero Insights. “Europe is also banking on hydrogen and decarbonizing heavy industry.”

In 2022 solutions to decarbonize industry generated momentum as more investment poured into hardware. Even excluding the mega-round raised for H2 Green Steel of $4.54B, (the largest ever climate tech investment in Europe), the industry sector almost doubled year-over-year investment.

H2 Green Steel was far from the only substantially large investment, as mega-rounds accounted for 6.6% of rounds in 2022, showing a growing maturity of the ecosystem. Other mega-rounds included Northvolt, TerraWatt Infrastructure, Flexport and Enpal.

While venture capital and overall funding slowed down in the U.S., the median deal size increased significantly from $2.4M to $5.5M, a growth of 132%. From a challenge perspective, GHG capture, removal and storage was by far the fastest growing sector in the U.S. with a year-over-year growth rate of +1632%, translating to a total of $1.4B.

The recently passed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was the single largest investment in climate and energy in American history at $369B. Included within are appropriations of $250B in loans: $11.7B for new loans, $100B for increasing existing loans and $5B for a new loan program, the Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment (EIR).

“We expect 2023 to be a big year for transatlantic partnerships in climate tech,” said Melanie Adamson, chief marketing strategist, Alder & Co. “With European climate tech companies closing the funding gap vis-a-vis their North American counterparts, we’re seeing companies seeking collaboration and expansion opportunities on both sides of the Atlantic.” For more details on climate tech investment by sector, funding, and geography, read the report here.

$267 million financing leverages Production Tax Credit (PTC) structure made available for solar in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Arkansas--Lightsource bp has successfully closed on a $267 million tax equity investment from Fortune 500 Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC), a leading financial services company with approximately $1.9 trillion in assets. The tax equity investment by Wells Fargo is in addition to Lightsource bp’s sponsor equity investment and complements the debt financing package which originally closed in December 2021.

“We are pleased to support Lightsource bp in its efforts to supply low-cost, emission-free solar electricity in Louisiana and Arkansas,” said Shane Easter, a director with Wells Fargo’s Renewable Energy & Environmental Finance group. “Providing expertise and capital to important customers like Lightsource bp is part of our commitment to deploy $500 billion in sustainable financing by 2030 to support our customers and communities as they transition to a resilient, equitable and sustainable future.”

Well Fargo’s investment will support the construction and operation of a two-project portfolio totaling 481 megawatt dc (MW), which are among the largest projects in each state, and include:

  • 346MW Oxbow Solar in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana with energy sales to McDonald’s and eBay
  • 135MW Conway Solar near Happy, Arkansas with energy sales to Conway Corp

As the tax equity investor, Wells Fargo is now the eighth global financial institution to support this portfolio of projects, joining the portfolio’s project finance lenders including HSBC Bank USA, ING Capital LLC, Societe Generale, NatWest, Intesa Sanpaolo, Standard Chartered Bank, and Allied Irish Banks.

Collectively, the projects will abate more than 630,00 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year. Both projects are scheduled to come online starting in 2023, creating 600 direct construction jobs.

“This investment is a great example of the positive impact that top tier financial institutions with meaningful commitments to sustainability such as Wells Fargo can make to help accelerate our country’s transition to a low-carbon economy and reduce the impacts of climate change that affect lives and livelihoods,” said Kevin Smith, Lightsource bp’s CEO of the Americas. “The new tax credit options and stable policy environment for job growth made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act will further incentivize investment and spur the growth of America’s solar industry.”

Findings demonstrate that coordinated, industry-wide workforce development solutions are crucial to enable the transition to climate-friendly refrigerants

MILL VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#grocery--The North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council (NASRC), a 501(c)(3) environmental nonprofit working to advance climate-friendly natural refrigerants in supermarkets, today announced the publication of a report summarizing the commercial refrigeration industry’s increasingly critical technician shortage. The report proposes data-driven solutions to improve technician recruitment, training, and retention to grow the workforce.


“Anecdotal evidence from NASRC member contractors has long pointed to a shortage of commercial refrigeration technicians,” said Danielle Wright, executive director of NASRC. “We conducted this assessment to find concrete evidence and identify strategies to address this industry challenge.”

The assessment substantiated that the nationwide technician shortage is disrupting essential operations and threatening U.S. supermarkets’ ability to transition from super-polluting hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants. Supermarket refrigeration is one of the leading sources of high global warming potential (GWP) HFC emissions. NASRC estimates the annual climate impact from U.S. supermarket refrigerant leaks to be 55 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.

NASRC gathered assessment information through interviews and written surveys from training, service, and human resource stakeholders. Though some national data was collected, the initial assessment primarily focused on California due to stringent regulations that have stimulated the transition from HFCs in the state.

“Our research found that the refrigeration technician workforce is caught in a negative feedback loop,” said Wright. “The shortage leads to demanding schedules, causing technicians to leave the field, further exacerbating the labor market supply issues.”

NASRC will coordinate an industry-wide implementation of the report recommendations, starting with a Natural Refrigerant Training Summit for technicians April 4 – 6, 2023, in Irwindale, California. Co-hosted with Southern California Edison, the event is free to attend and will feature training by leading manufacturers and experts. Learn more.

Starlink antennas and budget-friendly support plans can be purchased a-la-carte to provide Maritime customers the reseller benefits without required product add-ons or unnecessary bundled services

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Anuvu, the leading provider of high-speed connectivity and entertainment solutions for demanding mobility markets, announced that it has become an authorized global reseller of Starlink’s connectivity. Anuvu is the first maritime technology reseller to offer these antennas at a price of $2,500.


Through the new reseller agreement, Anuvu is offering the fastest speeds available from Starlink’s constellation.

Anuvu has been supporting customers’ Starlink installations in the cruise, energy and yacht verticals since Starlink expanded its offerings to the maritime industry in July 2022. In October, Anuvu introduced the energy industry’s first crew portal tailored to support Starlink service, meeting operators’ need for faster connectivity to accommodate their employees’ video calls, high-definition video streaming and online gaming from remote locations.

“Before entering the Starlink resale business, we wanted to guarantee the most seamless, affordable, obligation-free experience for maritime customers and that’s exactly what we’ve done,” said Erik Carlsen, SVP, Maritime, Energy & Government at Anuvu. “Customers who buy Starlink from Anuvu get our expertise and customer support without any strings attached. For maritime operators adopting a LEO solution, there’s no simpler path than ours, to acquire Starlink.”

Anuvu is focused on giving maritime customers the easiest acquisition process for LEO connectivity, without requiring product or service bundles that Starlink does not mandate. Customers who buy a Starlink antenna from Anuvu will benefit from multiple payment options, end-user customer support, the fastest Starlink speeds in maritime, and simplified billing from a single source.

"We’re happy to engage as a trusted technology guide and partner for our customers, but if you just need the fastest Starlink maritime service available in a seamless and straightforward process, then Anuvu is the obvious choice,” Carlsen said.

Customers can opt for Anuvu to install the Starlink solution if they choose, as well as SD-WAN and an advanced suite of network-management tools that can enhance, monetize and optimize their connectivity, but they are not required to do so.

Black & Veatch pinpoints, at Hydrogen India Summit 2023, decarbonization models that will hasten India's shift to cleaner fuels


DELHI, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With India’s reliance on imported crude oil, opportunities exist to plan for and grow the use of green hydrogen as a zero-emissions fuel source for the country’s transport sector, including commercial fleets and aviation.

“The commercial credibility of hydrogen development is absolutely key, particularly around securing viable off-takers for the product. There are a few emerging business models that are being studied and developed more closely in India, for domestic consumption and export. This includes the use of hydrogen for transport fleets, the use of hydrogen derivatives as an aviation fuel and the production of green ammonia,” said Ruturaj Govilkar, Country Manager and Managing Director, India, Black & Veatch.

India serves as an integral part of Black & Veatch’s innovation network exploring and providing hydrogen and other emerging sustainable solutions for clients globally. Countries throughout the world continue to announce new decarbonization and hydrogen strategies, and India recently approved the National Green Hydrogen Mission with an initial outlay of Rs.19,744 crore (US$ 2.3 billion). The Mission aims to make India a global hub for production, utilization and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives.

Speaking at the Hydrogen India Summit 2023, Govilkar proposed that, together, electric vehicles (EVs) and vehicles powered by hydrogen – in particular commercial fleets – are an alternate form of transportation that may eventually be more cost-effective, compared to the rising cost of fossil fuels.

Other promising commercial models include the production of green ammonia for export whereby importing countries could substitute ammonia directly for natural gas and use it for critical applications like power generation, or the use of ammonia as a fuel for shipping. A significant advantage is that outside the electrolysis process to produce green hydrogen, the production of ammonia is a well-established technology.

Similar to the ammonia synthesis loop, Black & Veatch notes that the basic method for producing synthetic fuel for aviation or other uses is proven, and pending wider usage.

Editor’s Notes:

  • Black & Veatch is involved in building 245 megawatt (MW) of electrolysis capacity, nearly doubling green hydrogen production around the world. The company is building the world’s largest hydrogen hub in the United States. Other than hydrogen, the company carries out projects in multiple decarbonization fields.
  • The Green Solutions (TGS) has appointed Black & Veatch to study the production and storage of green hydrogen in Vietnam utilizing solar or wind power supplied through the grid.

Black & Veatch is a 100-percent employee-owned global engineering, procurement, consulting and construction company with a more than 100-year track record of innovation in sustainable infrastructure.

Steve Jackson appointed Managing Director of Australia business

SYDNEY & CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Australia--Bluestar Energy Capital (‘Bluestar’ or ‘the Company’) today announced the appointment of Steve Jackson as Managing Director of its Australian renewable development platform, Bluestar Energy Australia Pty Ltd. Steve has over 30 years of experience in all facets of the Australian power industry and has held executive positions with leading private and public electricity companies. Jackson will be based in Bluestar’s Sydney CBD office.


Steve has held prior positions as Vice President (APAC Regional Manager) at First Solar and Head of Development at FRV Australia.

“Steve has a proven track record in establishing and scaling leading platforms in the Australian energy transition,” commented Declan Flanagan, Founder & CEO of Bluestar. “I am delighted to have such an accomplished energy executive build on our business in Australia.”

“Bluestar has such a high calibre team with a fantastic track record of success in developing renewable energy projects globally. I’m fortunate to hit the ground running with great resources, one permitted wind project, and other projects having commenced development with an established developer here in Australia,” commented Jackson. “I look forward to building another high performing team of Aussie industry professionals to develop more wind, solar, and storage projects. The challenge of meeting Australian decarbonization targets is considerable, creating a huge opportunity to build a globally significant platform and I look forward to helping achieve this.”

Since the completion of its US$100 million initial fundraising from founder Declan Flanagan and investors S2G Ventures and Great Bay Renewables in 2022, Bluestar has been successfully scaling its global presence.

“I am very pleased with the progress we have made in a short period of time. It’s a testament to the great group of professionals at Bluestar,” commented Flanagan. “But this is a long-term and patient plan. There are plenty of challenges to the global energy transition as well as undisciplined capital chasing investments, which makes Bluestar’s greenfield development-focused strategy especially important.”

Wolf Regener, President and CEO, commented, “The IP30 of the Glenn 16-3H well, along with the previous wells from our 2022 drilling program, have all far exceeded our expectations.

“We look forward to drilling our next wells later this quarter, as we have signed a drilling rig contract, where the rig is expected to arrive around the beginning of March 2023.

“To put this excellent well result in perspective, the forecasted 30-day proved curve case (IP30) utilized by our third-party engineering firm for our December 31, 2021 reserve report was 388 BOEPD (“Reserve Report IP30”), while the initial 30-day type curve used by the Company’s management for wells in the corridor assumes a 472 BOEPD IP30 rate (“Management IP30”). The Glenn 16-3H well’s IP30 is about 2.5 times higher than the Reserve Report IP30, which is similar to the Brock 9-3H well’s IP30 which we announced on January 9, 2023.”

Cautionary Statements

In this news release and the Company’s other public disclosure: The references to barrels of oil equivalent ("Boes") reflect natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves. The type curve utilized by the Company’s management is the average of the 7 Caney wells that were drilled prior to December 31st, 2021, are located in the Corridor (well names can be found on the Company’s Corporate presentation), with lateral lengths normalized to a 4,900 ft lateral length, the other assumptions are the same as in the Company’s December 31, 2021 independent reserves evaluation.

Readers should be aware that references to initial production rates and other short-term production rates are preliminary in nature and are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Readers are referred to the full description of the results of the Company's December 31, 2021 independent reserves evaluation and other oil and gas information contained in its Form 51-101F1 Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information for the year ended December 31, 2021, which the Company filed on SEDAR on March 8, 2022.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this news release constitute "forward-looking information" as such term is used in applicable Canadian securities laws and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of United States securities laws (collectively, “forward looking information”), including statements regarding the timing of and expected results from planned wells development. Forward-looking information is based on plans and estimates of management and interpretations of data by the Company's technical team at the date the data is provided and is subject to several factors and assumptions of management, including that indications of early results are reasonably accurate predictors of the prospectiveness of the shale intervals, that required regulatory approvals will be available when required, that no unforeseen delays, unexpected geological or other effects, including flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions, equipment failures, permitting delays or labor or contract disputes are encountered, that the necessary labor and equipment will be obtained, that the development plans of the Company and its co-venturers will not change, that the offset operator’s operations will proceed as expected by management, that the demand for oil and gas will be sustained, that the price of oil will be sustained or increase, that the Company will continue to be able to access sufficient capital through financings, farm-ins or other participation arrangements to maintain its projects, and that global economic conditions will not deteriorate in a manner that has an adverse impact on the Company's business, its ability to advance its business strategy and the industry as a whole. Forward-looking information is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause plans, estimates and actual results to vary materially from those projected in such forward-looking information. Factors that could cause the forward-looking information in this news release to change or to be inaccurate include, but are not limited to, the risk that any of the assumptions on which such forward looking information is based vary or prove to be invalid, including that the Company or its subsidiaries is not able for any reason to obtain and provide the information necessary to secure required approvals or that required regulatory approvals are otherwise not available when required, that unexpected geological results are encountered, that equipment failures, permitting delays, labor or contract disputes or shortages of equipment or labor are encountered, the risks associated with the oil and gas industry (e.g. operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration and development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve and resource estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and health, safety and environmental risks, including flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions), the risk of commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, that the offset operator’s operations have unexpected adverse effects on the Company’s operations, that completion techniques require further optimization, that production rates do not match the Company’s assumptions, that very low or no production rates are achieved, that the price of oil will decline, that the Company is unable to access required capital, that occurrences such as those that are assumed will not occur, do in fact occur, and those conditions that are assumed will continue or improve, do not continue or improve, and the other risks and uncertainties applicable to exploration and development activities and the Company's business as set forth in the Company's management discussion and analysis and its annual information form, both of which are available for viewing under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com, any of which could result in delays, cessation in planned work or loss of one or more concessions and have an adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, other than as required by applicable law.
