Selected financial and operational information is set out herein and should be read in conjunction with International Frontier's Dec. 31, 2018, audited annual financial statements and the related management's discussion and analysis (MD&A).

Highlights:

International Frontier achieved several strategic objectives in 2018. With an increased focus on Mexico's energy sector, International Frontier successfully executed on its strategy to be a first mover. Through its joint venture company Tonalli Energia SAPI de CV, which was formed in partnership with Mexican petrochemical leader Grupo IDESA SAPI de CV, International Frontier built a solid foundation from which to emerge as an energy leader in Mexico.

International Frontier's achievements in 2018 include:

  • In May, 2018, Tonalli successfully and safely reached total depth at its first evaluation well, TEC-10, on its onshore Tecolutla block. The TEC-10 directional evaluation well was drilled to the target depth of 2,453 metres (total vertical depth (TVD);, 2,490-metre measured depth).
  • In August, 2018, Tonalli announced the results of the extended testing operation of the TEC-10 well.
  • In September, 2018, Tonalli commenced the trucking of oil produced at its Tecolutla block for sale to Pemex.
  • In September, 2018, the company entered into a share option agreement with its joint venture partner, IDESA, pursuant to which International Frontier's wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Petro Frontera SAPI de CV, was granted the option to purchase all of the outstanding shares in the Tonalli joint venture company held by IDESA. Through Frontera, International Frontier holds 50 per cent of the outstanding Tonalli shares, with IDESA holding the remaining 50 per cent.
  • In October, 2018, Tonalli secured the necessary approvals for its first conventional horizontal well, TEC-11, at Tecolutla.
  • In November, 2018, Tonalli spudded the first conventional horizontal well, TEC-11, at its onshore Tecolutla block.
  • In December, 2018, Tonalli reached total depth at its first conventional horizontal well, TEC-11, on its onshore Tecolutla block. The TEC-11 field development horizontal well was drilled to a depth of 3,283 metres (measured depth) and landed horizontally in the Cretaceous-aged El Abra formation limestone.
