BANKERS PETROLEUM ANNOUNCES FILING OF 2012 STATUTORY FILINGS INCLUDING AIF AND STATEMENT OF RESERVES DATA
Bankers Petroleum Ltd. has completed its 2012 statutory filings, including the annual information form and the statement of reserves data (51-101), for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012. The filings can be accessed on SEDAR and the Bankers website.
Contingent and prospective resources
Bankers Petroleum announces its 2012 contingent and prospective resources attributed to the periphery extensions and increased development of the Patos-Marinza oil field as provided by its reserves evaluator, RPS Energy Canada Ltd. Contingent resources for 2012 are 534 million barrels, compared with 994 million barrels in 2011. Prospective resources are 254 million barrels, compared with 616 million barrels in 2011. The resource estimates include expansion of primary recovery development as well as recognition for secondary and tertiary recovery methods.
The contingent and prospective resource adjustments reflect the reduction in the oil in place volumes in the field disclosed on Feb. 25, 2013, from updated geologic mapping of the individual reservoir sands. The reduced resource volumes are aligned with the company's deferred development plans in the area and allow for further evaluation through delineation drilling and data collection.
Operational update
The company intends to issue the first-quarter 2013 operational update and host a conference call on Friday, April 5, 2013. David French, the newly appointed president and chief executive officer, will also be participating on the call.
