    • Subject to successful completion, first production from the wells is expected in Q1 2022

    • Work program had an overall cost of c.US$0.8 million (US$0.7 million in Q3 2021) and added c.1,250 Mcfe/d (208 boe/d) of production (c.80% natural gas), comprised of 39 bb/d of light and medium crude oil, 2 bbl/d of NGLs and 1,000 mcf/d of conventional natural gas.
    • At current strip pricing, the program is expected to break even in 4-5 months and add more than US$1.3 million of corporate cash flow thereafter in 2022.

Ian Atkinson, President and CEO of Southern, commented:

"We are delighted with the result of our equity financing and the support shown by new and existing shareholders.

"In preparation for the upcoming drilling program, funded by today's equity raise, we have secured an experienced drilling rig, crew and necessary materials and services with drilling anticipated to begin shortly.

"Following on strong operational results in Q3 and Q4, these Gwinville wells will have short payback and are strategically located in proximity to the Henry Hub terminal which attracts premium regional gas pricing. The Gwinville program is expected to provide additional near-term cash flow to the business during a period of strong commodity prices, and we look forward to updating shareholders in due course as the program progresses."

Tracy Shuchart: Energy Demand Exploding — Watching Oil/Gas, Uranium and Grid Stocks

Tracy Shuchart, CEO and founder of Hilltower Resource Advisors, discussed the growing need for all types of energy in the US, saying she's looking for opportunities in oil, natural gas, grid stocks and uranium juniors.

"I think 2025 is going to be a really good year for energy, absolutely," she said. "Not just because of the incoming administration that is very pro-energy and very-pro nuclear as well. But I think with this demand explosion that we're having it's going to be hard to keep ignoring that sector as people have over the last few years."

Looking at oil stocks, Shuchart said those who do their research will be able to find bargains outside the majors.

Eric Nuttall: Oil Facing Volatile 2025 — Where I'm Investing, Plus Prices, Supply and Demand

Eric Nuttall, partner and senior portfolio manager at Ninepoint Partners, spoke to the Investing News Network about 2024 oil market trends and what's next for the sector heading into 2025.

While the past year has been tough overall, he believes the biggest challenge is sentiment.

"Nobody's here. Nobody cares. Nobody is aware of any of the bullish potential, because everybody is just focused on the narrative around, '(The market is) awash in oil and we're going to fall to US$60 (per barrel).' Or I even saw US$40 the other day. You've got to try to really tune out the noise," Nuttall explained during the conversation.

Supply Chains in Question as Trump Threatens Tariffs on North American Neighbors

Incoming US President Donald Trump has proposed the application of a 25 percent tariff on all imports from Canada and Mexico on his first day in office, sparking concerns over possible economic implications.

“On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, adding that the move was spurred by worries over illegal drug imports and immigration.

Canada and Mexico are America's closest trading partners, with both being integral to the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). They account for significant portions of US imports in critical sectors, from energy to automobiles.
