CONNACHER PROVIDES Q1 2014 OPERATIONAL UPDATE, AGM AND CONFERENCE CALL DETAILS
Connacher Oil and Gas Ltd. has provided an operational
update for the first quarter 2014.
Production and operations
Based on field estimates, Connacher's Great Divide production for the first quarter of 2014 averaged 13,400 barrels per day. Production was 18 per cent higher than the
prior quarter (fourth quarter 2013 -- 11,400 barrels per day).
On March 7, 2014, the company experienced a natural gas supply pipeline
leak at Algar. The Algar plant was taken off-line for approximately
four days on March 9 to complete the repair and was placed back on-line
on March 12, 2014. Production and operations were quickly restored.
Drilling was completed on six of the nine planned infill wells as of
mid-April. The remaining three infill wells will be drilled during the
second quarter. These wells will then be completed, tied into the
facilities, steamed for approximately 30 days and are expected to begin
impacting production in the fourth quarter.
Marketing
In the first quarter of 2014, the volume of bitumen moved to customers outside of Alberta
averaged approximately 7,872 barrels per day (59 per cent of total bitumen sales)
compared to approximately 7,426 barrels per day (65 per cent of total bitumen
sales) in the fourth quarter of 2013. The balance of the bitumen sales were to
intra-Alberta markets.
