Result also is pleased to announce the following updates:
Result's current field estimated production volume is approximately 1,425 boed, including approximately 115 boed of new gas volumes which were recently added in the Company's Clearhills, Alberta project area. Approximately 50 boed has been shut-in in the greater Peace River Arch area due to wet surface conditions.
Result carries an inventory of approximately 70 development and exploration locations. Subject to access conditions and rig availability, at least 15 of these locations are expected to be drilled during the balance of 2007.
Result's existing bank revolving credit facility is in process of an annual review, and based on expanded reserve volumes, it is anticipated that the facility will be expanded from its current limit of $12.5 million to at least $14 million. The bank facility, plus increasing cash flow from operations, gives Result flexibility in expanding exploration and development activities, and pursuing potential property acquisitions.
Bill Matheson, President & CEO, will be presenting at the upcoming SEPAC Oil & Gas Investor conference in Calgary (Westin Hotel) on May 30, 2007.
Result's Annual General Meeting will be held at the Calgary Petroleum Club on May 29, 2007 at 3:00 PM
"Gross" totals represent the Company's working interest share of reserves, before deduction of royalty interests. Estimated Net Present Values ("NPV") are prepared under NI 51-101 for both a Forecast prices and costs and a Constant prices and costs scenario, and such values are prior to the provision for income taxes, interest, debt service charges, and general and administrative expenses. Actual oil and natural gas reserves and future production of the disclosed oil and natural gas reserves does not represent the fair market value of these reserves. Result has applied the industry standard of converting natural gas volumes at six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6 mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence ("boe"). Boe units may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. "Mmcfe" is defined as a million cubic feet equivalent (and is used herein to convert reserves of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids to a common measure).
