CALGARY, Nov. 12, 2014 /CNW/ – Yangarra Resources Ltd. (“Yangarra” or the “Company“) (TSX:YGR) announces its financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Third Quarter Highlights
Operations and Guidance Update
The Company drilled 5 gross (4.2 net) wells and completed and brought on-stream 8 gross (4.6 net) wells during the third quarter. Production during the quarter continued to be negatively affected by third party restrictions as well as the below type curve results from a two well Glauc oil pad. No mechanical issues were experienced in the Glauc oil wells, however, the frac fluids appear to be impeding inflow with production slowly improving over time.
In Q4, third party restrictions have mostly been alleviated as of November 1st, and Yangarra plans to bring on-stream 4 gross (2.4 net) wells drilled and completed in the previous quarter. Subsequent to quarter end, Yangarra plans to drill, complete and bring on-stream 6 gross (3.6 net) wells.
A Duvernay well was spud in Willesden Green October 2, 2014 and is drilling according to program with an estimated cost of $6.0 million. Yangarra will provide an update upon on the well and Duvernay strategy once the well is drilled and rig released.
The Company has revised the fourth quarter pricing to an average price of US$80.00/bbl for WTI crude oil (CDN$79.20/bbl Edmonton par) and an average price of $3.50/GJ for AECO natural gas. With the reduced pricing and third party constraints the Company now expects fourth quarter cash flow of $12 million and full year cash flow of $40 million (a 56% increase from 2013).
Fourth quarter production is expected to be 3,500 boe/d and full year production is expected to average 3,000 boe/d (a 36% increase from 2013).
The Company has $14 million remaining to spend on its $75 million 2014 capital budget in the fourth quarter and expects year-end 2014 debt of $53 million resulting in a net debt to annualized fourth quarter cash flow ratio of 1.1 to 1.0.

[expand title=”Advisories & Contact”]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.
