Future net income (FNI) is after deducting estimated operating and future development costs, severance and ad valorem taxes, but before Federal income taxes. Total net Proved and Probable Reserves are defined as those natural gas and hydrocarbon liquid Reserves to G2’s interests after deducting all shrinkage, royalties, overriding royalties, and reversionary interests owned by outside parties that become effective upon payout of specified monetary balances. All Reserves estimates have been prepared using standard engineering practices generally accepted by the petroleum industry and conform to those classifications defined in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (“COGEH”). All hydrocarbon liquid Reserves are expressed in United States barrels (“Bbl”) of 42 gallons. Natural gas Reserves are expressed in thousand standard cubic feet (“Mcf”) at the contractual pressure and temperature bases. All monies are expressed in United States dollars.
Jim Tague, Consultant of The Performance Analytics Group offered the following:
“This is an exciting opportunity for G2 to establish operations in a low cost, established field with substantial upside. Results from recent horizontal drilling by adjacent operators have proven that technologies designed to exploit the deeper Permian shale work well in this field’s shallower San Andres formation, but at a far lower expense and a higher return on investment. With this acquisition, G2 is now positioned to grow current production and exploit this emerging and profitable San Andres horizontal play - both of which can lead to significant gains in shareholder value.”
Slawek Smulewicz, President & CEO commented:
“The acquisition of the Masten Unit is a significant event for G2 as oil remains trading at multi year highs and inventories are at multi year lows, demand is back to Pre COVID level and there is constrained supply growth in the coming years. The G2 Energy team anticipates 2022 to be a milestone year for the company. Its first oil and gas asset acquired from the proceeds of this financing is currently producing 80 BOPD and is primed for growth. The team at G2 Energy is ready to execute and unlock the economic potential in the Masten Unit and begin working on the next transaction immediately.”
