Blackdog Resources Ltd. ("Blackdog" or "The Company") (TSX VENTURE:DOG) is
pleased to provide a summary of its operations further to the recently announced
2010 financial results.
2010 was a very busy year for Blackdog as the Company began to see significant
returns from its decision in 2008 to focus only on light oil opportunities and
totally discontinue spending any capital, resources or time on natural gas
opportunities.
Selected highlights for the year are as follows:
-- Production Revenue increased to $2,754,659 (2009-$906,551). This
represents a year over year increase of 204%.
-- Daily average production increased to 106 barrels of oil equivalent per
day ("boepd") (99% light oil) (2009- 43 boepd). This represents a year
over year increase of 146%.
-- Exited the year producing in excess of 170 boepd (99% light oil).
-- Funds Flow From Operations increased to $279,021 (2009-$115,875). This
represents a year over year increase of 141%.
-- Net Present Value of Proved Reserves at December 31, 2010, discounted at
10% (based on NI 51-101 Trimble Engineering Report ("Trimble Report"))
increased by 18%
-- Signed an agreement to acquire Drilling Royalty Credits with no capital
risk to the Company- Expected to generate a royalty refund to Company in
excess of $150,000 for period from April 1, 2010-December 31, 2010.
These amounts are not reflected in 2010 annual financial statements.
-- Increased producing wells at Woking from 2 (net 1.48) to 4 (net 3.38)
plus commenced testing disposal of water into Enhanced Oil Recovery/Salt
Water Disposal well during Q1, 2010. After successful testing, during
Q2, 2010 installed a pump capable of disposing 3,000-4,000 barrels of
water per day into EOR/SWD. Also tested 2(net 1.73) other wells for
potential production post breakup in 2011.
-- Purchased 3 light oil wells at Girouxville, Alberta with average monthly
production between 75-93 barrels of light oil per day ("bopd") for
$710,000 cash and 100,000 common shares at a deemed value of $0.30 per
share in July, 2010 retroactive to June 1, 2010. For month of June,
2010, wells produced 2,403 barrels for gross revenue of $170,000 and
generated free cash flow of $34,900, which is not reflected in 2010
annual financial statements. Purchase price was readjusted to $675,100
plus 100,000 common shares or approximately $8,500 per flowing barrel.
-- Increased credit facility from $800,000 to $2,000,000 and lowered
lending rate to prime plus 2% from prime plus 2.5%
-- Technically reviewed all Pembina Cardium lands and Evi Slave Point and
Granite Wash land for prospective 2011 drilling (first Cardium well
drilled in Q1, 2011). No value was assigned to these prospective
drilling locations in the Trimble Report.
-- In December, 2010 closed an oversubscribed flow-through share financing
of 3,305,631 common shares for gross proceeds of $1,190,027. Two major
funds were among the participants in the financing. The Company placed a
significant amount of this financing without paying any commission or
finder's fees.
-- Exited the 2010 year with 875 barrels of light oil in onsite tank
inventory at Girouxville not reflected in 2010 Financial Statements.
Overall Blackdog is very pleased with the progress it made in 2010 as the
Company is now perfectly positioned to fully capitalize on the recent sharp
increases in the price of oil. In February, 2011, the Company participated in
its first non-operated Cardium horizontal light oil well in Pembina, Alberta.
The results to date have been very encouraging with the well producing from flow
and swab testing over 1,000 boepd in 70 hours. The well was then placed on
production on March 10, 2011. During the first week of production the well
produced an average of 250 boepd and for the first 30 days of production, the
well averaged approximately 200 boepd. The well has now been running for over 50
days trouble free and the operator has indicated an interest in both drilling
additional wells on our shared section of land and also intends to apply for
down spacing to increase the density from 4 wells per section to 8 wells per
section. Blackdog has a 15% working interest ("W.I.") in the well and the
section of land. The Company has also been advised that the former operator of
two other sections of Blackdog's Cardium lands has recently sold its interest to
a new public company which has recently announced intentions to drill multiple
Cardium wells on this land in 2011. The Company has yet to be advised when such
drilling might occur but is looking forward to participating especially given
that Blackdog owns a 15% W.I. in a lengthy pipeline and gas gathering system on
that part of the Company's Cardium lands. Blackdog will have a 15% W.I. on any
prospective wells drilled on these sections and will impose a toll on any third
party gas which runs through its pipeline. In total, the Company has an
approximate 15% W.I. in over 5 sections of prospective Cardium horizontal
drilling land in Pembina.
Blackdog Resources Ltd. is a junior oil and gas Company focused on the
development of light oil with producing assets in South East Saskatchewan and
Alberta. The Company has 24,574,318 common shares Outstanding.
