Last paragraphs taken from RNS. Brad intends to pump as much as he can :-
Cash Flow: Current cash flow is expected to be lower than the previously reported quarter due to revenues decreasing faster than expenses. However, Edge will benefit from higher production, a lower Canadian versus US dollar, an improved heavy oil differential, lower G&A, lower operating costs and lower royalties. The Company will continue to focus its efforts on all opportunities to enhance cash flow.
Brad Nichol, President & CEO of Edge, commented, "Our industry is facing an enormously challenging macroeconomic environment but we started making the right moves months ago; and thus, we are in a better position than most to capitalize on opportunities that coincide with all major macroeconomic events such as this. I'm referring to our expectation of seeing quality assets coming to the market in stressed situations and we hope to take advantage of those situations as best we can. As demonstrated in the table above, our Eye Hill asset has great economics at $90/bbl, $70/bbl and even $50/bbl, and we will continue to pursue the growth of that asset. However, this is the market in which strong companies should look to acquire heavily discounted assets versus drilling up their inventory." Nichol added, "The colossal decrease in world oil prices will hurt all oil and gas companies. Those that are prepared for the outcomes, as we believe Edge is, should benefit enormously and emerge from this downturn bigger, stronger and more efficient than ever before."
