CALGARY, Aug. 28, 2013 /CNW/ – Yangarra Resources Ltd. (“Yangarra” or the “Company“) (TSXV:YGR) announces its financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Highlights are as follows:
Operations Update
Following spring breakup, the Company has drilled 3 gross (1.5 net) Cardium wells at Ferrier. Productivity from the wells is exceeding expectations. The Company is continuing to improve drilling and completion costs due to pad drilling and reductions in drilling and completion times.
Starting in 2010, Yangarra has drilled 53 horizontal wells in the Deep Basin using horizontal multi-stage fracture technology. In that period, Yangarra has made significant advancement in drilling, completion and logistics which have significantly increased the Company’s returns. The Company now expects the return from the combined 2013 drilling program to be approximately 100% and the average well payout is forecasted to be 14 months.
| Average HZ Well Cost (1) | Average Forecast IRR (2) | ||
| 2010 Wells | $4,312,000 | 24% | |
| 2011 Wells | $5,112,000 | 41% | |
| 2012 Wells | $3,883,000 | 67% | |
| 2013 Wells | $2,845,000 | 100% | |

Disclosure Items
The Company’s financial statements, notes to the financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis have been filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and are available on the Company’s website (www.yangarra.ca).
Natural gas has been converted to a barrel of oil equivalent (Boe) using 6,000 cubic feet (6 Mcf) of natural gas equal to one barrel of oil (6:1), unless otherwise stated. The Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf to 1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method and does not represent a value equivalency; therefore Boe’s may be misleading if used in isolation. References to natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) in this news release include condensate, propane, butane and ethane and one barrel of NGLs is considered to be equivalent to one barrel of crude oil equivalent (Boe). One (“BCF”) equals one billion cubic feet of natural gas. One (“Mmcf”) equals one million cubic feet of natural gas. Operating netbacks are calculated as revenue from all products less operating costs.
Forward looking information
Certain information regarding Yangarra set forth in this news release, including management’s assessment of future plans, operations and operational results may constitute forward-looking statements under applicable securities law and necessarily involve risks associated with oil and gas exploration, production, marketing and transportation such as loss of market, volatility of prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of reserves estimates, environmental risks, competition from other producers and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources. As a consequence, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
