Michael Raleigh, CEO, commented, “After 30 days of production on each of the two (0.55 Net to EPSN) recently completed wells in our Oklahoma project we are excited to report that the average performance of the wells exceeded our expected type curve, and, at current commodity prices, will achieve payout in less than six months. To date the Company has participated in four wells (1.15 Net) in the region and the average performance has exceeded the expected type curve performance. The team is currently evaluating other locations within our existing inventory to drill and complete this year.
In the Marcellus, we expect the operator to complete the previously drilled well (0.18 Net to EPSN) in the third quarter of 2022.
Based on current strip prices, the company anticipates building significant incremental cash for the balance of the year. The current cash balance is approximately $31 million and the company has no outstanding debt.”
