In the last five years the price of oil has tumbled and has been subject to extreme volatility. In January 2012, a barrel of oil touched US$125.00. By July 31, 2017, it had dropped to US$52.16. As of July 31, 2017, oil’s 52-week low came to US$42.03 with a high of US$58.26. As the price of oil fell, some producing wells ceased production and waited for high oil prices to return. Among these shut-in wells are those whose owners no longer have the financial capacity to turn them back on. These are the ones that have Hillcrest’s immediate attention.
Hillcrest’s short-term strategy has been shaped by falling global oil prices. It can be summed up as the acquisition of substantial, operated, producing assets with high value growth potential in proven and prolific conventional oil and gas basins. The Alberta and Saskatchewan wells are a blueprint for Hillcrest’s immediate future. “We can replicate that model in both provinces and have started discussions with various people in both provinces, to get involved on a joint venture basis by using bond value and minimal cash to open up wells.” Don Currie, CEO
