Operations
Production for the Quarter increased slightly over the prior quarter. A number of wells were shut-in during the period, whilst planned production facility improvement was undertaken at the Pine Mills field (where the Company holds a 100% working interest).
Facility upgrades at Pine Mills have now been completed with treating and disposal capacity approximately doubled, while decreasing injection pressure by approximately 50%. Previously shut-in wells will be returned to production during Q4 as treating capacity expansion is brought online.
The Fouke 1 production increased by approximately 24% following upgrades to the pumping unit. Both the Fouke 1 and Fouke 2 wells are now on electric power, decreasing operation costs, thus improving margins.
Matt Lofgran, Nostra Terra's Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Company-wide production remains robust, with quarterly sales surpassing $1 million for the second consecutive quarter. Despite having several wells down for the period, during the planned facility improvements at Pine Mills, we still managed a slight increase in production.
The Company continues to grow its production and revenue using only internal resources, while reducing its leverage. This provides the Company with increased flexibility on how to grow going forward.
We're on track for a record year and I look forward to reporting on these results in subsequent periods."
