Randeep S. Grewal, Chairman and Founder of Green Dragon, commented:
"2014 was a milestone year for Green Dragon. Following the execution of very constructive and lucrative agreements with all our partners in the first half, the latter part of the year was productively focused on our operations. The combined management teams of Green Dragon and our partners are working closely together and sharing extensive technical information to the benefit of all parties.
"The 10 LiFaBriC well drilling campaign was completed on time at GSS and is already showing positive results. This re-confirms our belief in the LiFaBriC completion method and its applicability to the Qinshui basin coal seams, and we look forward to commencing the initial phase of our busy 2015 drilling programme.
"At the same time, in accordance with our agreement, CNOOC/CUCBM continues to invest in the infrastructure needed to monetise the current and expected production from the additional circa one thousand wells which will be put online in due course.
"Furthermore, as expected, Chinese government policies towards gas utilization objectives and prices are unaffected by the drastic fall in crude prices. I am pleased to confirm that our realized gas prices remain stable, as forecasted, putting us in a very strong position for the year ahead. We remain confident that Green Dragon Gas will continue to deliver value to its shareholders through this turbulent global commodity price environment."
