Oil and Gas Advisories
"bbl" means barrel. "Mbbl" means thousands of
barrels. "WI" means working interest.
The reserves estimates contained in this news
release represent our gross and net reserves attributable to the
Chañares Herrados Concession as at April 1, 2021. Gross reserves
are defined under NI 51-101 as our working interest (operating or
non-operating) share before deduction of royalties and without
including any of our royalty interests. Net reserves are defined
under NI 51-101 as our working interest (operating or
non-operating) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus
our royalty interests in reserves. It should not be assumed that
the present worth of estimated future net revenues presented in the
tables above represents the fair market value of the reserves.
There is no assurance that the forecast price and cost assumptions
will be attained and variances could be material. The recovery and
reserves estimates of our crude oil reserves provided herein are
estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated
reserves will be recovered. Actual crude oil reserves may be
greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.
All future net revenues are estimated using
forecast prices arising from the anticipated development and
production of our reserves, net of the associated royalties,
operating costs, development costs, and abandonment and reclamation
costs and are stated prior to provision for interest and general
and administrative expenses. Future net revenues have been
presented on a before tax basis.
The estimates of reserves and future net revenue
for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level
as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties,
due to the effects of aggregation.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain information set forth in this document
is considered forward-looking information, and necessarily involves
risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond Crown Point’s
control. In addition, information relating to reserves is deemed to
be forward-looking information, as it involves the implied
assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the
reserves described can be economically produced in the future. Such
risks include but are not limited to: the risks that COVID-19 poses
to the oil and gas industry generally and our business in
particular, including the risk that the demand for, and therefore
the price of, hydrocarbons remains depressed and/or volatile for a
significant period of time, the risk that our staff and/or the
staff of third parties on whom we rely to carry out our operations
are unable to perform their duties such that we are unable to
continue our operations in part or in whole, the risk that we are
unable to obtain supplies and other equipment that we need for our
operations due to delays or failures in supply chains, and the risk
that the infrastructure on which we rely to produce, transport and
sell the hydrocarbons we produce suffer intermittent outages or
cease to operate at all, all of which could adversely impact our
ability to operate profitably or at all; risks associated with oil
and gas exploration, development, exploitation, production,
marketing and transportation, including the risk that the
infrastructure on which we rely to produce, transport and sell our
products breaks down and requires parts that are not readily
available or repairs that cannot be made on a timely basis, and
which impair our ability to operate and/or sell our products; risks
associated with operating in Argentina, including risks of changing
government regulations (including the adoption of, amendments to,
or the cancellation of government incentive programs or other laws
and regulations relating to commodity prices, taxation, currency
controls and export restrictions, in each case that may adversely
impact Crown Point), risks that new government initiatives will not
have the consequences the Company believes (including the benefits
to be derived therefrom), expropriation/nationalization of assets,
price controls on commodity prices, inability to enforce contracts
in certain circumstances, the potential for a hyperinflationary
economic environment, the imposition of currency controls, risks
associated with a default on Argentine government debt, and other
economic and political risks; volatility of commodity prices;
currency fluctuations; imprecision of reserve estimates;
environmental risks; competition from other producers; inability to
retain drilling services; incorrect assessment of value of
acquisitions and failure to realize the benefits therefrom; delays
resulting from or inability to obtain required regulatory
approvals; the lack of availability of qualified personnel or
management; stock market volatility; inability to access sufficient
capital from internal and external sources; the need to shut-in,
flare and/or curtail production as a result of a lack of
infrastructure and/or damage to existing infrastructure; and
economic or industry condition changes. Actual results, performance
or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or
implied by, the forward-looking information and, accordingly, no
assurance can be given that any events anticipated by the
forward-looking information will transpire or occur, or if any of
them do so, what benefits that Crown Point will derive therefrom.
With respect to forward-looking information contained herein, the
Company has made assumptions regarding: the impact that COVID-19
will have on our operations and the length of time that such impact
will persist; the impact of increasing competition; the general
stability of the economic and political environment in Argentina;
the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals; the
ability of the Company to obtain qualified staff, equipment and
services in a timely and cost efficient manner; drilling results;
the costs of obtaining equipment and personnel to complete the
Company’s capital expenditure program; the ability of the operator
of the projects which the Company has an interest in to operate the
field in a safe, efficient and effective manner; the ability of the
Company to obtain financing on acceptable terms when and if needed;
the ability of the Company to service its debt repayments when
required; field production rates and decline rates; the ability to
replace and expand oil and natural gas reserves through
acquisition, development and exploration activities; the timing and
costs of pipeline, storage, transportation and facility repair,
construction and expansion and the ability of the Company to secure
adequate product transportation; future oil and natural gas prices;
costs of operational activities in Argentina; currency, exchange
and interest rates; the regulatory framework regarding royalties,
commodity price controls, currency controls, import/export matters,
taxes and environmental matters in Argentina; and the ability of
the Company to successfully market its oil and natural gas
products. Additional information on these and other factors that
could affect Crown Point are included in reports on file with
Canadian securities regulatory authorities, including under the
heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual
information form, and may be accessed through the SEDAR website
(www.sedar.com). Furthermore, the forward-looking information
contained in this document are made as of the date of this
document, and Crown Point does not undertake any obligation to
update publicly or to revise any of the included forward looking
information, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise, except as may be expressly required by applicable
securities law.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its
