Longview Announces Crude Oil Hedging Update for 2014

CALGARY, May 21, 2013 /CNW/ – Longview Oil Corp. (“Longview” or the “Corporation”) announces the following crude oil hedges for calendar 2014.

Crude Oil Hedging for 2014

These crude oil hedges will reduce cash flow volatility and help protect funds from operations which enhances our ability to make dividend payments and fund our capital expenditure program. Longview’s business strategy is to provide shareholders with attractive long term returns that combine both income and moderate growth by exploiting its assets in a financially disciplined manner and by acquiring additional long-life oil assets of a similar nature. Longview’s asset base is comprised mainly of operated oil-weighted resource plays with high working interests in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.

Advisory

The payment and the amount of dividends declared in any month will be subject to the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on the board of director’s assessment of the Corporation’s outlook for growth, capital expenditure requirements, funds from operations, potential acquisition opportunities, debt position and other conditions that the board of directors may consider relevant at such future time, including applicable restrictions that may be imposed under the Corporation’s Credit Facilities and on the ability of the Corporation to pay dividends. The amount of future cash dividends, if any, may also vary depending on a variety of factors, including fluctuations in commodity prices, production levels, capital expenditure requirements, debt service requirements, operating costs, royalty burdens and foreign exchange rates.
