The Company’s banking syndicate is led by Alberta Treasury Branches and includes the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and National Bank of Canada.
Capital Budget
As a result of improving macro conditions, Yangarra’s Board of Directors has approved a capital program of $60 million for 2021. The Company’s 2020 cost-cutting program has generated significant structural and sustainable per well savings on drilling and completions. Yangarra’s most recent drilling and completions costs have averaged $3.25 million per two-mile well, down 24% from an average of $4.25 million over the last two years. As a result, the Company expects to drill & complete 17 wells for 2021.
With improved capital efficiencies, the Company requires $40 million of capital to hold production flat at 10,000 boe/d. The Company expects to fund the growth wedge of $20 million in capital spending through cash flow with the remaining free cash flow to be used toward debt repayment. Yangarra’s long-term goal of reaching an absolute debt target of $150 million remains unchanged.
