Brad Nichol, President and CEO of Edge commented, "Despite the headwinds the industry is facing at the moment, our quarterly results were excellent. We generated significant cash from our operations and kept a very tight rein on costs and operational efficiencies. These downturns in our industry allow our team to demonstrate our specialty, which is running a tight, efficient business no matter how hard the wind is blowing in our faces. This quarter, the Company actually achieved production increases, without additional capital expenditure on drilling wells. Additionally, we are looking forward to reaping the savings from our new water disposal facility, which became fully operational in January." Nichol added, "With WTI prices hovering around US$50/bbl, we are unlikely to consume our existing inventory of drilling locations; however, we are keen to acquire production, reserves, land and additional drilling locations when the cost of those acquisitions are expected to be at their lowest in a generation. We expect the competition for assets to be less intense in the heavy and medium oil regimes, where operational expertise is a significant barrier to entry; thus, we intend to remain focused on our heavy and medium oil sandbox where we have already established a clear competitive operational advantage over other potential consolidators."
It will be interesting to see how much 'production, reserves, land and additional drilling locations' have been acquired.
