Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
The execution of a fully funded drilling program initially focused on drilling and completing at least three new horizontal wells in the Caney formation of the Tishomingo Shale oil field, with potential to add more wells later in the year.
Expected impact: Aims to deliver 10% to 20% annual production growth and support the target of $55 million to $60 million in adjusted EBITDA.
A disciplined financial strategy focused on utilizing strong operational cash flows to pay down outstanding debt and repurchase common shares under the active Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB).
Expected impact: Maintains a conservative balance sheet with a target debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 1.0x or lower while enhancing shareholder value.
Continuous refinement of horizontal well-drilling and completion techniques to minimize drilling days and lower per-well capital costs.
Expected impact: Reduces average drilling times for longer laterals to 10-12 days (down from historical averages of 30 days), maximizing netbacks and capital efficiency.
