“ These three wells represent an opportunity to increase production and revenues for Xstate during the current period of high oil prices.
We are pleased to report that the drilling of the first and second wells, including a second lateral in Tabers 1‐2‐8‐17 well to drain the sand reservoir more efficiently, proceeded according to plan.
The production from these wells is anticipated to supplement the 30% improvements in production rates achieved already this year from our Canadian oil and gas fields.
Xstate’s most recent reported production are 572 BOEPD still ~50% or . ~150% of year end number.
We believe further production increases are possible as our Operator Blue Sky seeks and implements field work programs ”.
