Vermillion Announcement30 Jul 2018 12:09
In Ireland, production averaged 57 mmcf/d (9,426 boe/d) in Q2 2018, a 7% decrease from the prior quarter due to natural declines and minor plant downtime related to external electricity supply issues. We continue to work closely with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB") and Shell on the transition of ownership and operations of Corrib from Shell to CPPIB and Vermilion. Transition has progressed well with all technical aspects being ready. We now anticipate receiving final approvals from the necessary authorities and closing of the transaction in the second half of 2018. Although this closing date is later than our original expectation, and will have a modest impact on our booked production, Vermilion will still benefit from all interim period cash flows between January 1, 2017 and closing as a reduction of purchase price.
