Operations
A new development well at Pine Mills (Fouke 2) is nearing total depth. If successful, the Fouke 2 will be immediately put into production using existing infrastructure as the existing tank battery at the Fouke 1 is being expanded to increase its storage and throughput capacity.
Plans for drilling in the Permian Basin this year are on track with the Company organizing tenders for the necessary equipment during the period. The Company plans to update the market with additional details of the anticipated drilling program in due course.
The Company also continues to work towards diversifying its asset base and is continually reviewing accretive production, development and exploration opportunities both inside and outside the USA.
Matt Lofgran, Nostra Terra's Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Revenue and production increased significantly in the fourth quarter and the Company has also made a great start on executing its plans for 2022 during the early part of Q1 2022.
In East Texas drilling is underway at Pine Mills concurrent with work to expand and improve the infrastructure.. While in West Texas planning is underway for our big push to increase production through a similar development drilling program there. Finally, the recent increase in commodity prices has confirmed our bullish price expectations and as a result we remain unhedged, selling production at market rates. I am anticipating a very active and profitable 2022 for NTOG and look forward to reporting on our progress in subsequent periods. "
