February production was significantly higher due to a number of North
Stockyard being returned to production. All of the infill development
wells drilled in North Stockyard during 2014 are now in a position to be
produced, however given the low oil price, 6 of the wells will remain
shut in pending the recovery of the oil price.

COMMENTARY
All wells in the North Stockyard field are currently being produced at
lower than maximum capacity due to pipeline constraints and the weak oil
price.
All of the 17 drilled in fill wells in North Stockyard have now been
fracked and cleaned out and are capable of producing however 6 are
currently shut in, waiting on an improvement in the oil price.
|
#The Avg. Daily rate is an average of the last week’s production or
the average after the well was put back into production.
