Longview Oil Corp. announce the financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the accompanying reserves as of December 31, 2012.
Stable Production and Funds from Operations Sustains Dividends
•Funds from operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $15.6 million or $0.33 per share, an increase of 9% as compared to the third quarter of 2012 due to higher crude oil and liquids production. Funds from operations are primarily supported by crude oil and liquids production that represents 94% of our total sales revenue. Crude oil prices have been challenging during much of 2012 due to weakened WTI pricing and wide differentials between WTI and Canadian realized pricing that resulted in lower funds from operations as compared to the prior year.
•Production for the fourth quarter of 2012 averaged 6,308 boe/d (77% crude oil and liquids), an increase of 5% from 6,013 boe/d realized in the third quarter of 2012. Production for the year ended December 31, 2012 averaged 6,235 boe/d and was comparable to the prior year. Due to weaker than anticipated commodity prices and higher differentials, we announced a reduction to our capital expenditure program in the second quarter of 2012 to maintain financial discipline and a strong balance sheet. Production additions from our reduced capital expenditure program were sufficient to offset declines due to our drilling success and low decline rate on existing production.
