Production update
The KBD-02, KBD-06, and KBD-07 wells are in their trial production phase and are averaging about 350 tons per day. The KBD-03 well is in its 90 day production period in the Aptian zone and is producing approximately 110 tons per day using a 9 mm choke. On the KBD-08 well, the Company performed a successful selective acid treatment in the Jurassic zone proving the existence of an oil reservoir. Although the well did not flow naturally post acidizing job, it may be produced by artificial lift techniques. The decision has been made to isolate the Jurassic and re-complete the well in the upper zone, Barremian, then perform production testing.
Exploration update
The Company completed the drilling on the 600 meter KUL-04 gas well and no gas reservoirs have been discovered. This well has been plugged and abandoned. The KBD-04 well drilling has reached a depth of over 1,500 meters and is expected to be completed around June 20th. The Company does plan to go forward with the acquisition of additional 2D seismic in regards to potential oil prospects.
Normal Course Issuer Bid update
As of May 19th, the Company has repurchased 520,360 shares of the of the 5,377,000 common shares that it is approved to acquire until February 7, 2023.
Gas Price
The Company has received a letter from the National gas company indicating that the price for gas is to be reduced to a range of $40-60 USD per thousand cubic meters. This is a significant reduction from the average gas price of approximately $114 USD per thousand cubic meter received in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The Company is reviewing options for future gas sales. The Company is also reevaluating the plans for seismic and drilling related expenses tied to new gas exploration given these pricing levels. Management does not anticipate that it can profitably develop and produce gas at the proposed prices.
