Notes

  • All references to “pro-forma” take into account the contribution from the CNSL assets from the 1 January 2019 effective date of the acquisition to the completion date on 8 November 2019.
  • All values in this release and the Company's financial disclosures are in US dollars, unless otherwise stated.
  • The calculation of barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) have been derived by converting gas to oil in the ratio of 5.8 thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of gas to one barrel ("bbl") of oil. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 5.8 Mcf : 1 bbl is based on an energy conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 5.8 Mcf : 1 bbl, utilising this conversion ratio may be misleading as an indication of value.
