Spry announces release of year end financial and operating results
HIGHLIGHTS
- Our average production rate for the fiscal year increased 23 percent
to 1,672 boes per day, up from 1,357 boes per day.
- Although commodity prices on a boe basis were 12 percent lower,
production growth and realized gains on financial instruments led to
an increase in our funds flow from operations of 20 percent to $17.8
million for the current fiscal year, as compared to $14.8 million for
the previous year.
- Cash based expenditures for the year were $17.0 million as compared
to our budget of $24 million. Spending was scaled back in response to
the economic downturn and collapse in crude oil and natural gas
commodity prices.
- We drilled 16 (12.5 net) wells, that resulted in seven (7.0 net)
natural gas wells, eight (5.0 net) oil wells and one (0.5 net) dry
holes. All but two gas wells have been placed on-stream either prior
to or subsequent to year end.
- Our year-end proved plus probable reserves decreased eight percent
from 5,747,000 to 5,273,000 boes due in part to our reduction in
capital expenditures and negative technical revisions.
- Proved plus probable finding and on-stream costs (including future
capital) were $26.21 per boe before technical revisions and $138.93
per boe after technical revisions.
- We have approved a base budget for our fiscal year ended June 30,
2010 with approximately $24 million of planned capital expenditures
that includes a drilling program of 17 wells.
