All of the company's oil and gas properties are located in the Western Sedimentary Basin, specifically Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan. Over the last three fiscal years, Gear has added 90 sections of land to the core heavy oil operating area through a combination of crown sale purchases and acquisitions from other operators. The company's land position includes 74,000 acres of developed and 72,250 acres of undeveloped land as at December 31, 2012.
In July the company commenced drilling with a new contracted super-single rig, which has increased the efficiency of the company's drilling program, reducing drilling days per well. In addition, the drill rig has allowed Gear to drill 4 well pads and full section length wells, reducing capital costs and increasing well productivity.
To date in 2013 the company drilled 41 net oil locations of which 93% were horizontal, with the October sales estimate at 4,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Operations in the 3rd quarter generated record cash flows of $12.1 million, as a result of solid operational performance combined with a strong pricing environment. Cash flow is expected to remain strong into the 4th quarter as sales volumes increase, offset by lower prices.
The company recently announced a $70 million capital budget for 2014, and expects to drill another 55 net wells.
Gear's management team has a demonstrated track record of bringing together key components for a successful exploration and production company.
The company has 54 million shares outstanding, and with the current market at $2.75 is capitalized at $148.4 million.
