Cabot Energy Plc (LON:CAB) told investors it has been producing some 550 barrels of oil per day, which is in line with guidance, and its summer programme is set to expand on that significantly.
The company, previously known as Northern Petroleum, expects the new work programme to target an additional 300 bopd. It will include two side-tracks from existing wells, plus recompletion of two previously drilled wells and work-overs to three other wells.
It is budgeted to cost some US$3.5mln, and sets the newly relaunched group up for a year-end production target between 800 and 1,000 bopd.
Chief executive Keith Bush, in a statement, said: "I am very pleased to see the growing levels of production from Canada following the successful completion of the work programme from the first half of the year.
“Additional production from here should see increasingly material cashflow, even at current oil prices, and I am confident in the upside potential of the assets, both from a production and cashflow perspective.”
