2022 Q2 Management Discussion Highlights
Net earnings for the six-month period ended May 31, 2022, was $97,641 compared to a loss of $111,268. The net earnings for the six-month period ended May 31, 2021, increased by $208,909
Oil and gas revenue for the six-month period ended May 31, 2022 was $752,082 compared to $563,607 in the comparative sixmonth period ended May 31, 2021. The $188,475 increase in production revenue was primarily due to the return of production revenue from pre-pandemic Covid-19 levels where certain of the Company’s operators elected to shut-in certain of their operating batteries due to the Covid-19 outbreak in the November 2020 comparative period and increasing oil and gas prices.
Gull Lake, Saskatchewan
The Company currently participates in 12 wells, 7 wells of which are operated by Taku Gas Ltd. ("Taku"
, and 5 wells operated by Vital Energy Ltd. ("Vital" . As well, the Company has also elected to participate in the drilling of two development well locations. The additional wells will target the primary producing reservoir in the wells operated by Vital. Following the drilling of these two wells, and evaluation of the well results, Cobra has the option to elect to further participate in the drilling of a horizontal well.
San Joaquin Basin Project, California
As initially discussed in August 2019, Cobra entered into a participation agreement (the “Agreement”) with Makk Energy Ltd., a private oil and gas company controlled by Murray Rodgers, a Director of Cobra and QC Energy LLC, a private oil and gas company based in Denver, Colorado. Pursuant to the Agreement, Cobra has a nonoperating 25% working interest in the subject project. In early 2020, the joint venture group undertook an initiative to attract a strategic partner to fund leasing and drilling activity in the project area. While these initiatives were initially promising (with technical due diligence being concluded with favourable outcomes), the recent outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, combined with the significant declines in the oil equity markets, has resulted in a pullback of interest in the project. The joint venture partners will continue to pursue new sources of capital for this project while working within the current global and local uncertainties surrounding oil and gas investments.
As May 31, 2022, the Company had working capital of $2,112,204 compared to $2,383,632 as at November 30, 2021. As at May 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,953,180 compared to $2,157,331 as at November 30, 2021.
