Coelacanth has commenced drilling on the 5-19 Pad at Two Rivers East with the primary nicely spud on September 1st. The entire program consists of drilling and finishing 3 Decrease Montney wells, finishing 1 beforehand drilled Higher Montney nicely, and drilling a Bluesky disposal nicely for a complete value of roughly $36 million. The 4 pad wells are scheduled to be accomplished beginning late October 2024.
As beforehand launched, the three 5-19 Decrease Montney wells drilled in 2023 had examined at a per nicely common of 1,338 boe/d for a mixed fee of 4,014 boe/d (54% mild oil). This system above can be additive to this as soon as the Two Rivers East facility is constructed and on-stream in April 2025. The Higher Montney has not produced within the fast space however has been very prolific within the higher area. Administration is wanting ahead to proving up the commerciality of this zone within the space in addition to establishing anticipated oil/gasoline manufacturing combine.
Strategic advantages of this program are as follows:
- Accelerating the expansion profile of the general firm
- Including materials drilling stock by way of proving commerciality of Higher Montney
- Lowering threat in processing and transportation commitments
- Minimizing disruptions on start-up of recent facility by having wells accomplished prematurely
- Rising monetary and operational flexibility in 2025 capital program
- Creating extra manufacturing certainty for future selections on third-party processing and build-out of extra services
Additionally as beforehand launched, Coelacanth obtained all regulatory approvals to assemble a brand new battery facility (“Facility”) at Two Rivers East designed for gasoline compression/dehydration, oil treating and water dealing with, plus gathering and transport strains to attach from the 5-19 Pad by way of the Facility to a mid-stream gathering line. Building of the pipelines and the ability website have already commenced and estimated to be operational in April 2025.
BANK CREDIT FACILITY AND FINANCIAL UPDATE

With over $60 million money and no debt on the finish of Q2 2024, Coelacanth estimates it’ll have roughly $40 million web debt plus the mid-stream dedication as soon as the drilling program is accomplished and the ability is operational. As soon as operational and pending drilling success on the above program, Coelacanth’s manufacturing ought to stabilize at over 6,000 boe/d till extra wells are drilled in the summertime of 2025.
SHARE PURCHASE WARRANTS
As a part of the $80 million purchased deal financing accomplished in November 2023, Coelacanth had issued 33.3 million share buy warrants (“Warrants”) with a strike value of $1.05 per share that expire November 15, 2024.
