i3 Energy PLC - oil and gas company, focused on the UK and Canada - Average first-quarter production amounts to 22,773 barrels of oil equivalent per day, up 24% year-on-year. "Q1 2023 was another busy quarter for i3 as we commenced our planned 2023 drilling programme in Canada, drilling production wells in Central Alberta, Wapiti and key Clearwater wells in our Dawson and Marten Creek acreage. Average production in Q1 resulted in another consecutive quarter of growth, dating back to Q2 2021, which is a testament to the quality of our asset base and operations staff," Chief Executive Officer Majid Shafiq says. Revises down capital and dividend forecasts, amid "prevailing and forecast commodity pricing". Capital programme is worth USD25 million, plus USD6 million for a revised drilling programme targeting the Clearwater asset. Adjusted dividend programme is expected to result in payouts totalling GBP15.4 million for the first nine months of the year. "Due to slower than expected global demand growth and resilient supply dynamics, commodity prices have subsequently fallen significantly," i3 says. Back in December, it had outlined a capital budget of USD64 million.
