Highlights

• Record Revenue: Blackbird is pleased to report a record C$6.4 million ($49.81/boe) of petroleum and natural gas sales for the three months ended April 30, 2018. These results were achieved with the Company producing for approximately 70 percent of the quarter due to third-party natural gas processing shut-downs.
• Corporate Production: During the three months ended April 30, 2018, the company achieved corporate production of 2,081 boe/d (56 percent liquids) for the 62 days it was on production. Total production averaged 1,447 boe/d on a calendar day basis for the three months, with volumes being impacted by approximately 27 days of unscheduled third-party downtime.
• Operating and Corporate Netback: Blackbird’s operating and corporate netback was $27.28/boe and $18.80/boe, respectively, for the third quarter of 2018, which management believes compares favorably with industry leaders in the basin.
• Adjusted Funds Flow: The Company generated C$2.4 million of adjusted funds flow during the three months ended April 30, 2018.
• Balance Sheet Strength Maintained: Blackbird remains well capitalized, and between its credit facility capacity (which was expanded during the quarter from C$1.0 million to C$20.0 million) and working capital surplus the company had approximately C$24.6 million of available funding at April 30, 2018.

“This was another exceptional quarter for Blackbird. We achieved record quarterly revenue of C$6.4 million on the back of strong condensate pricing and a corporate liquids weighting of 56 percent. Our development north of the Wapiti River is expected to commence in August. This next leg of development will allow Blackbird to graduate to an intermediate producer, and will continue to unlock the value of our significant condensate rich resource in the Pipestone / Elmworth Montney Corridor.” said Garth Braun, President, CEO and chairman of Blackbird.
