ANTERRA ENERGY ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2015 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS
Anterra Energy Inc. has released its financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2015. Selected information presented in the attached table should be read in conjunction with the company's unaudited financial statements and related management discussion and analysis filed with the Canadian regulatory authorities and available on SEDAR and on the company's website.
Operations
-
Continuing low crude oil prices experienced during 2015 had a major
negative impact on the company's overall 2015 performance. Production
revenue, excluding the impact of risk management commodity contracts,
for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2015, decreased 55 per cent to $7.2-million from $16.1-million for same period in 2014, primarily as a
result of a 44-per-cent reduction in realized average commodity prices. For the
nine months ended Sept. 30, 2015, realized commodity prices averaged
$49.79 per barrel of oil equivalent, compared with $88.76 per barrel of oil equivalent during the comparable period
in 2014.
-
The company's mid-stream operations, primarily at Breton, continued to
generate strong revenue and cash flow. Revenue of $2.7-million for the
nine months ended Sept. 30, 2015, was virtually the same as revenue
for the comparable period in 2014. However, due to lower operating
costs, funds generated by mid-stream operations (determined as revenues
less direct operating expenses), increased 26 per cent to $1.6-million for the
period, as compared with $1.3-million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2014.
-
Production for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2015, averaged 530 barrels of oil equivalent per day, a decrease of 20 per cent compared with 664 barrels of oil equivalent per day for the same
period in 2014. As a result of quality adjustments, blending charges and
trucking costs, production from the company's Two Creek property became
uneconomical at the current low prices and remained shut in since the
beginning of March, 2015.
-
During the second quarter of 2015, insurance claims totalling $2.4-million, relating to spill cleanup and remediation costs incurred and
expensed in 2014 and 2015, were approved by the company's insurer, and
the company recorded a net cost recovery of $1.5-million for the nine
months ended Sept. 30, 2015.
-
In addition to the contribution from mid-stream activities and the
recovery of spill cleanup and remediation costs, overall company
operations were positively impacted by risk management contracts, which
resulted in a realized gain of $825,261 during the nine months ended
Sept. 30, 2015.
