The company posted a successful second quarter of 2024, hitting the higher end of its production guidance.

The increase in production was mainly due to the company's early startup of its BC Montney Battery. For perspective, Vermilion Energy Inc. (NYSE:VET) has been constructing a 16,000 barrels of oil per day battery in the Mica area Montney formation in British Columbia, Canada. The BC Montney Battery is a key growth prospect for the company as it will provide an avenue to expand future expansion to 28,000 barrels of oil per day as the company builds its assets.
