Twoco Petroleums Ltd. ("Twoco" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TWO)
announces an update of its 2011 activities and financial and
operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Twoco has filed the following documents on the System for
Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR):
1. Unaudited condensed interim financial statements as at and for the
quarter ended September 30, 2011, together with the notes therein as
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards;
and
2. Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
of operations as at and for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Copies of these documents may be obtained via SEDAR at
www.sedar.com.
Highlights of operations for the year to date include:
-- Current production of 675 boe per day (includes approximately 200
barrels per day of oil and natural gas liquids);
-- In November 2011, Twoco completed the drilling of 1 gross (0.97 net)
quad-leg horizontal oil well on the Company's Sparky heavy oil property.
It is anticipated that this well will commence production prior to year
end;
-- Twoco estimates current shut-in and behind pipe production capability of
175 boe per day. This estimate does not include the potential production
from the 1gross (0.97 net) quad-leg horizontal oil well currently being
completed and equipped for production;
-- In July 2011, Twoco completed the drilling and completion of 2 gross
(1.93 net) tri-leg horizontal oil wells on the Company's Sparky heavy
oil property. These wells commenced production in late August 2011;
-- On May 5, 2011, Twoco received approval from the Energy Resources
Conservation Board ("ERCB") which amended the drilling spacing on the
Company's Sparky heavy oil property to allow for the drilling of up to 8
horizontal lateral legs per pool per quarter section. As a result of the
ERCB's approval, Twoco has identified drilling locations for an
additional 116 horizontal laterals on the Company's lands; and
-- In April 2011, Twoco acquired the mineral rights to an additional 640
gross acres (618 net) on the Company's Sparky heavy oil property in the
Warspite area of Alberta.
Highlights of the Third Quarter 2011 include:
-- Average production of 613 boe per day (includes 105 barrels per day of
oil and natural gas liquids) - a 9% decrease from the Third Quarter 2010
- a result of shut-in volumes due to low natural gas prices, a lack of
natural gas drilling activity and natural production declines of the
Company's natural gas properties. In the Third Quarter 2010, Twoco had
no oil and natural gas liquids production;
-- Petroleum and natural gas sales revenue of $1,434,310 - a 24% increase
from the Third Quarter 2010 - due to the 4 horizontal oil wells drilled
on the Company's Sparky heavy oil property in the Warspite area of
Alberta;
-- Cash flow from operations of $248,796 versus cash flow used by
operations of $23,961 in the Third Quarter 2010;
-- Operating netback of $688,426 ($12.21 per boe);
-- Net loss of $626,290 ($0.01 per share);
-- Capital expenditures of $1,678,983;
-- Current land position of 109,544 gross (79,670 net) acres;
-- Operating costs of $12.28 per boe;
-- General and administrative expenses of $2.41 per boe;
-- In July 2011, Twoco completed the drilling and completion of two (1.93
net) tri-leg horizontal oil wells on the Company's Sparky heavy oil
property in the Warspite area of Alberta. These wells commenced
production in late August 2011; and
-- On October 3, 2011, the Company announced the issuance of 375,871 common
shares in payment of interest accrued to September 30, 2011 on its $3.4
million principal amount of redeemable, convertible, unsecured 8%
debentures.
The Company has determined to strategically diversify its
commodity mix by targeting development of its Sparky heavy oil
property in the Warspite area of Alberta. Due to continuing
depressed prices for natural gas and limited availability of
capital, the Company will spend an estimated $5.8 million of its
previously announced $11.8 million 2011 capital budget. The $11.8
million capital budget included the drilling of 10 gross (9.72 net)
horizontal oil wells on the Company's Sparky heavy oil property in
the Warspite area and, subject to favourable natural gas prices, up
to 6 gross (5.79 net) additional vertical natural gas wells in the
Company's Warspite, Colinton, Sunland and Plain operating areas of
Alberta. After its 2011 capital budget was adopted, it was
determined to allocate all available capital towards the
development of the Company's Sparky heavy oil property in the
Warspite area of Alberta using multi-leg horizontal oil wells. To
date in 2011, the Company has drilled 2 gross (1.93 net) tri-leg
horizontal oil wells and 1 gross (0.97 net) quad-leg horizontal oil
well on this property.
Twoco is an oil and gas company engaged in the exploration for,
and the acquisition, development and production of, oil and natural
gas reserves primarily in the Province of Alberta. Twoco has
71,728,095 common shares issued and outstanding as at today's
date.
In this news release the calculation of barrels of oil
equivalent (boe) is calculated at a conversion rate of six thousand
cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas for one barrel (Bbl) of oil based
on an energy equivalency conversion method. Boes may be misleading
particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:
1Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily
applicable to the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead.
