Latest / Financial Survival Network / Growth-Oriented Small Cap Oil Stock Begins 18 Well Drill Program -- Prospera Energy
Transcript
- 0:00The horizontal wells are basically development, so you're probably talking about an eighteen to
- 0:05ninety percent CHATS success. The expectation is that we're going to have soloware get
- 0:12dwing six studio undered barrels a day for well that includes the risk of the
- 0:18ninety percent chats a success. We've included the geology, We've included the Seisnick
- 0:23and we picked locations right next to our tested oil to find the best locations
- 0:31duel so they have sixty seventy percent chats of each adding unored barrels a d
- 0:36The Financial Survival Network now more than ever, the Financial Survival Network, and
- 0:48welcome. This is Financial Survival Network. I'm your host, Kerry Lutz,
- 0:53and we are going to get an update from one of my largest holdings,
- 0:57Prosperity Energy. We're going to find out about the upcoming drill programming, what
- 1:02else is ahead. Samuel David CEO, George mcgarian, VP of Subsurface are
- 1:07here with me. Sam glad you're back. So rough winter up your way,
- 1:14rough winter for for Prospera with the weather and production issues. The winters
- 1:21are always harsh and Saskatchwan and especially in the latter part of quarter too,
- 1:26on most part of quarter one. Those four months we have scheduled all our
- 1:32Phase two development in the summer months. We've been steadily working towards to have
- 1:38the rig on site to drill, and then the rig is also scheduled for
- 1:42the first first few weeks of August, both for the horizontals and the verticals
- 1:49for the light oil as well. That's ten horizontals, eight verdicals. Just
- 1:55as we planned these summer months, we've invaded a survey, acquiring the leases,
- 2:00constructing and getting license and permits to construct. So every this week progressing,
- 2:07we have obtained the well license and then wee scheduled as well, and
- 2:12all those services are coordinated. Just to give you an example, a horizontal
- 2:15takes about one hundred different types of services utilized and working consortium to do these
- 2:23kind of horizontal wealths. We are drilling it to depleted reservoirs, so we
- 2:29have to be very careful on also circulation. So all of those technical challenges
- 2:36we have piloted, and we have addressed the technical risks and the economic side
- 2:43of it as well in coordinating the services and getting the terms, party terms
- 2:46and all those kind of things. The team has made steadily working and we're
- 2:52ready to go August first week after the long weekend, because hey, if
- 2:59you drill in the long weekend, it's double over time. Okay, so
- 3:02we're doing right after the long weekend, okay. And currently production, what
- 3:08are we looking at. We're looking at about a thousand boies, but we
- 3:14still have about thirty thirty two fifty cubes on just engines and rods and flushed
- 3:20by those kind of things, and those are being coordinated so that that additional
- 3:25three hundred EOIs will be added here in the betch few weeks. And as
- 3:31far as production come the end of the year, weather permitting, what do
- 3:36you think will be at well, We have taken the weather into consideration in
- 3:40our forecast, initial forecasts, and that hasn't changed. George, it's great
- 3:46to have you on, great to meet you. Understand, you've got banks
- 3:50and you've got thirty six years of petroleum geology under your belt. A lot
- 3:54of the fields you've developed during this time tell us eighteen Walsh, that's doable
- 4:02for the time period allotted. Yeah, no, no problem. I mean
- 4:08that the horizontal wells probably take about a week to drill. That's ten weeks
- 4:15of drilling. He wanted to add out, you know, one back to
- 4:18back to back the vertical wells, he shouldn't. Shouldn't take that long mail
- 4:24build babe, or five days those can be again, uh, drills back
- 4:30to back to back, and you know that within a month you could have
- 4:33most of the wells drilled. We have everything ready to build, all at
- 4:38the same time. So yeah, the timeline is not an issue from it
- 4:43from the drilling perspecting all right, and in your experience, and like we
- 4:48said, you've got vast experience. What is the pro prospectivity of those wells?
- 4:55Look like the horizontal wells are basically development, so you're probably talking about
- 5:00an eighteen to ninety percent chants of success. The expectation is that we're going
- 5:06to have soloware got Dwayne sixty to hundred barrels a day er well that includes
- 5:12the risk of lead to ninety percent chants of success. They're going to bring
- 5:16on some bit production with a high chance of success. Now. But yeah,
- 5:20the other wells of the verticals, I wouldn't call them development. Maybe
- 5:25would call them outposts. I don't know if that's the term that the investors
- 5:30would know about, but basically what you're saying with an outposts that you're drilling
- 5:34right next to an established well. We included the geology, we've included the
- 5:40seize nick and we picked locations right next to our tested oil to find the
- 5:46best locations can drill so that they have sixty seventy percent chants each adding huttered
- 5:54darrels a day, so we could see quite a bit more and Sam.
- 5:59As far as bringing those wells into production, are there any particular challenges there?
- 6:04What's the time frame once the wheel is drilled, assuming it's successful,
- 6:10but just prior to that, those that seismic that George referred to, those
- 6:14are all three D seismic. We have three D size both both areas,
- 6:18and these locations were picked with three D size and well control and it's very
- 6:25similar to the Actually, George was pretty excited that these ones that we're going
- 6:29to drill looked a little bit better than the wells that we proved, so
- 6:33we're excited about that. Now, for the horizontals, we're drilling from existing
- 6:39least ten meters away from my existing well, so it's a matter of tying
- 6:44into existing facility, so the horizontal wells will come out a lot quicker within
- 6:48a few weeks of drilling, and we'll do the completion with the landing the
- 6:53pump at the same time. We'll tie it in and it's all pipeline to
- 6:57the facilities. So the horizontal production, we can see it quite rapidly.
- 7:03The medium light oil, it's a new development area, so we have to
- 7:08acquire new lease, and we'll also have to construct some of the things that
- 7:13are associated with the new lease. We have to bring a new equipment,
- 7:16and we have sourced all of that out the technical tea, the facility pipeline
- 7:23teams, as all the plants we're proceeding with that that'll take a little a
- 7:30little bit more time, probably another than a half because all those permits we
- 7:34have been working on it since the sun started. So if I were bold
- 7:40to say by a quarter three, we shouldn't have all of them all.
- 7:44Conceivably all eighteen wales could be online by a quarter three, which is quite
- 7:50an accomplishment. There seems to be confusion as to when the drill program was
- 7:56going to start. I knew there are, Like you said, there's hundreds
- 7:59of moving parts to a program under way. So if you're a few weeks
- 8:05early or a few weeks late. It's not significant in so far as the
- 8:09weather goes, and still getting the program done, is it. We were
- 8:15planning for July August, drill in late July, in mid August, so
- 8:20maybe there was a confusion, uh that it could be that instantly. There
- 8:26is a lot of have you I moving especially for a small company for us,
- 8:31this is a big program as far as we're consacked, were we're opped
- 8:35argot and all our teams would working hard quickly, But there's always permits and
- 8:41weather and all that. But I'd say we're opped argot. Yes. As
- 8:43far as finances go and the cash flow, um I noticed, well,
- 8:50last year obviously had record cash flow from operations. It was up multiples of
- 8:56where it was before. And latest release indicates that you have more than enough
- 9:03cash on him to finance the program. Well, you never have more than
- 9:07more that we did. You know in quarter one, as you recall,
- 9:13the winter was pretty harsh, so you know the production was down. There
- 9:18was also the commodity press that has been honest, it is getting a little
- 9:22better in the last few weeks we noticed, but nevertheless, we're set to
- 9:28drill and finance these projects, especially with the exercise of the warrants and sustained
- 9:35cash flow as well. All right, and George, So as far as
- 9:41the composition of the oil you were you said there's medium and light to present,
- 9:48which was a surprise. Well, the medium light is in the the
- 9:52Alberta Fairway. Uh, we're we're pursuing the Hammy is obviously a Saskatchewan outset.
- 10:00The medium light will will darner a better price than the heavy that we're
- 10:07producing in Saskatchewan. Also, the medium light oil is uh, it's radical
- 10:13weals, ariz optal whatsoever, our directional wealths, so they will be drilled
- 10:18quicker than ariz optical weals as well. So it'll be able to bring those
- 10:24medium light oil radical or slanted wells a little bit quicker and cheaper as well
- 10:31in terms of capital outlay. We've talked before that the company is actively seeking
- 10:37acquisition. Sam, Can you just I realize there's a limit to how much
- 10:41information you can give us on that. Can you give us the broad outline
- 10:45of where you're at in that process acquas you shouldn't. We plan and the
- 10:48core area to expand in the core area is still in progress. It is
- 10:56back at forth and in terms of discarding the exact pool that we want.
- 11:01And you know, the talk is still there and we're proceeding towards the pools
- 11:07that we walked, not just all the liabilities surrounding it, you know,
- 11:11which is when we wanted to get at. But that conversation is in progress,
- 11:16all right. I realized that there's a limit to what you can tell
- 11:20us about it. But it's good to know that it's still alive and you're
- 11:24moving ahead. And so is there anything else? What about the polymer flooding
- 11:31in the upgrading? Anything good? It's there a good question. We're moving
- 11:37towards a pilot, we're getting ready for application as well. That work for
- 11:43spament steadily progress as well, and we also have chosen the type of polymer
- 11:50that we need as well, and so we've been we're going with vendors at
- 11:56moving towards the application and a pilot as we plat right. And what about
- 12:03the other the new technology that actually takes heavy oil and turns it into better
- 12:09than WTI I hope, so that is also proceeding as well, where you
- 12:16have moped into the experimental stage of that. News is going to be coming
- 12:20out to the next week or so where we're supplying our samples and the experiment
- 12:26it's going to commence and we should be receiving an idle report of the experiment
- 12:33at the end of the year. All right. So there's a lot happening.
- 12:37And like anything else there in the normal ebb and flow of the companies,
- 12:43there's active periods and there's not so active periods. Sometimes there's a lot
- 12:48of action taking place under the surface and you don't see it, which obviously
- 12:52is what's been happening here with Prospera. So look, go over to prosperit
