Company continues to capitalize on the sustained surge in oil and gas prices
TULSA, OK and VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 8, 2022 / Jericho Energy Ventures Inc. (TSXV:JEV)(OTC PINK:JROOF)(FRA:JLM) ("Jericho", "JEV" or the "Company") reports strong year-over-year financial performance at its oil and gas joint ventures (collectively, the "JV") in Oklahoma, driven by elevated crude oil and natural gas prices for the first three quarters of 2022.
Key nine-month highlights from Jericho's oil and gas JV¹ (all $ figures in USD):
- 51% YoY growth in product revenues ($8.86mm Q3-22 vs. $5.88mm Q3-21)
- Average realized oil price increased 56% YoY; average realized natural gas price increased 70%
- Average realized oil price differential off West Texas Intermediate, less than $2 / bbl
- Barrel of Oil Equivalent Production was steady, down 1.2% YoY
- 95% YoY growth in total adjusted joint venture income² ($3.16mm Q3-22 vs. $1.62mm Q3-21)
- JEV's share of adjusted JV income in Q3-22 was $1.46mm vs. $0.78mm in Q3-21
Brian Williamson, CEO of JEV, stated, "Our oil and gas operations benefitted from higher realized oil and natural gas prices throughout the first nine months of 2022, compared to 2021, providing strong growth in product revenues that largely fell to our joint ventures' bottom line. We continue to demonstrate that our strategy of providing molecules required for today AND tomorrow can yield results for our shareholders. Our steady oil and gas production base provides strong cash flows that feed both strategic initiatives of hydrocarbons today and lower carbon forms of energy tomorrow."
