Capex
We got some more clues on Capex for 2024 by the fact YGR licensed 4 1 mile wells in Ferrier.
That could be way they have a lower capex than we expect.
20 - 1 mile wells = 50m
6 - 2 mile wells = 20m
5-10m for land, etc etc
75-80m total
The new 4 well pad in ferrier is interesting as it is on land YGR presentation shows they dont own.
good land too, ferrier in that hot spot. I think reason it never got drilled that section is enerplus owned it and than journey got it from their canadian buy...and perhaps YGR got it from Journey. YGR can used an existing lease so makes sense.

Journey had recently reported some non core sales with no specifics mentioned.

Best thing about this is they are doing 4 wells in the section. Past life they would probably jam 6 to 8 in there. Shows they are learning hopefully.

The 4 mile well was/is a glitch. They do not have this licensed. The rig is currently drilling partial YGR percentage ownerships. Pieces of the ferrier area are quite fragmented ownership which is one way Capex can be reduced by sharing drilling costs with other producers. Maybe the OFS helps in these scenarios too as they can bill the 3rd party??

4 mile was a glitch. Is that recent license of 4 wells partial as well?

This would be an excellent way to cut capital and keep their OFS group busy so that they can continue to leverage that organization and may be earning recoveries or working interest in wells.

And they have an advantage of not having to spend 7-12m a year on reclamation like most do.

Agreed..noticed that as well and 4 is better per section than 6-8....at least for short term and short term is what matters what now with fall YGR had.
