Yangarra announces 2023 second quarter financial and operating results – Energy News for the Canadian Oil & Gas Industry | EnergyNow.ca

CALGARY, ABJuly 27, 2023 /CNW/ – Yangarra Resources Ltd. (“Yangarra” or the “Company“) (TSX: YGR) announces its financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Operations Update

Yangarra drilled six wells and completed five wells during the quarter. The drilling rig was shut down for five weeks due to wet conditions during breakup. The Company also elected to delay the completion of a five-well pad by four weeks.  This delay decreased water pumping costs by $1.2 million for the pad as a closer water source was available after breakup and water heating was no longer necessary.

During the quarter, wildfire outages were followed by wet weather conditions. This together with 3rd party plant issues during turn-around season, negatively impacted production by 500 – 700 boe/d on average.  The majority of production has now been restored and the Company remains on pace to meet 2023 production guidance. The Company has a six well pad coming on-stream at the end of July.

Yangarra’s Oilfield Services (“OFS”) Group continues to increase its footprint with the addition of a 50-ton crane. With the numerous increases in services provided by Yangarra over the past year, the Company has been able to multitask staff in a very efficient manner. According to Company estimates, the OFS Group has reduced operating costs by $1.50 to $2.00 per BOE, drilling and completion costs by $400,000 – $500,000 per well and equipping and pipeline tie costs by 40%.

Yangarra retained the services of two consulting firms to review frack efficacy as it relates to well path, frack intensity, viscosity and frack rate. This has resulted in substantial changes to the drill and completion operations. A variety of these changes have been implemented on a total of seven wells to date and while it is early in the process Yangarra is very encouraged by the results.
