Completion of Wapiti production acquisition

The company has also completed the Wapiti production acquisition, effective 1 April 2021. Wapiti’s production rate stands at 230 boepd at present, which I3 Energy aims to increase to about 310 barrel of oil equivalent per day (boepd) on a next twelve-month basis (NTM) through the reactivation of six wells.

This is expected to cost I3 Energy a total of US$ 0.4 million, including acquisition and other costs, and is expected to come at just 0.56 times the company’s NTM net operating income (NOI).
