Highlights
- Average daily production over 2,000 boe/d for the quarter
- Adjusted funds flow from operations more than doubled to $4.7 million
- Questerre partners with experienced operator to develop Kakwa North acreage
- Questerre commissions integration study for Jordan oil shale project

Our production and cash flow growth this quarter was primarily driven by the
increased investment in Kakwa.

Production from the joint venture acreage almost doubled from the first quarter
of 2017. Including the light oil production acquired in Antler last fall,
corporate volumes grew to just over 2,000 boe/d. With additional drilling
scheduled for later this summer at Kakwa, we could see production dip in the
next few quarters before a further increase by year-end.

Through a recent partnership with an experienced Montney operator, we plan to
develop our immediately offsetting acreage. They are currently licensing
drilling locations and the first well could spud by June. We are looking forward
to these results given the strong condensate rates and low acid gas from our
adjacent producing wells.

We were encouraged by comments this May from the Minister of Environment noting
that the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources will soon be tabling
regulations for hydrocarbons. Once finalized, we will be meeting with the
municipalities to secure the local acceptability we need. We are confident there
is interest in our clean gas pilot and its environmental and economic benefits.

During the quarter, we engaged Hatch Ltd., a global engineering firm, to review
the engineering and economics for our oil shale project in Jordan. The initial
project will target production of approximately 50,000 bbls/d and will include
the costs to upgrade the produced oil to diesel and gasoline. Once this study is
completed, we plan to commission a more detailed pre-FEED study as we commence
negotiations for a concession agreement.

Over two-thirds of our corporate production is oil and liquids and the higher
production this quarter benefitted from improving oil prices. We realized an
average price of $52.56 per boe this year, up almost 20% from last year and our
adjusted funds flow from operations was $4.7 million compared to $1.41 million
last year.

Our capital spending for the quarter was $8.66 million focused almost
exclusively on the Montney formation at Kakwa. Of this amount, about 50% was for
field infrastructure including the installation of gas lift facilities,
pipelines and to expand our central facility. Subject to the operator's plans
and results, we estimate our total capital investment this year could be $30
million including up to six (1.5 net) wells.

We are looking forward to the new regulations in Quebec. They will mark the
conclusion of over seven years of studies and public consultations and the
beginning of local consultations. For us, this will validate our step by step
approach of working with government and stakeholders. We are confident this
approach will be key to securing the local social acceptability we need to move
forward.

Kort fortalt:

Det har gått svært så bra... Om noen mener å forlange mer med hensyn til produksjon, ja så lever de i en fantasi verden. Når det gjelder regulering så står det svært tydelig at det er forventet forholdsvis snart.. Det er litt sånn - Jippi.. nå er Bonzo blakk type Q1 :).
