Prospera Energy Provides Monthly Operations Update
CALGARY, Alberta — Prospera Energy Inc. (TSX.V: PEI, OTC: GXRFF) is committed to delivering transparent and timely updates on its operational performance and field developments. This edition highlights significant insights into the company’s production metrics, optimization efforts, and strategic progress. All data regarding production reflects the corporation’s gross sales and complies with industry standards.
Operational Performance Highlights
Over the recent period, Prospera has achieved robust operational performance, reaching an average gross production of approximately 880 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), comprised of 94% oil, between June 1 and June 15. This growth is attributed to successful spring maintenance activities and enhancements at the Cuthbert water tank. Moreover, extensive well optimizations undertaken in May have been instrumental, coinciding with improved access due to dried lease roads. This update marks the sixth consecutive month of production growth, excluding contributions from the recently acquired White Tundra Petroleum assets, which await regulatory approval from the TSXV.
Analyzing Well Efficiency and Optimizations
A thorough review, including detailed analyses and waterflood optimization, is taking place, with seasonal insights being actively implemented. Furthermore, Prospera’s service rig is engaged in addressing an inventory of over 150 wells that require workovers and reactivations across its heavy oil fields, reinforcing operational efficiency.
Favorable Pricing Conditions
The pricing environment continues to favor producers, with Western Canadian Select (WCS) differentials trading at less than $9 per barrel below the US Benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI). Given its focus on heavy oil production, these advantageous pricing conditions are expected to bolster the corporation’s revenues and cash flow. Such positive netback figures will support Prospera’s strategy of reallocating capital towards impactful projects as preparatory plans for upcoming service rig initiatives for Q3 and Q4 are finalized.
Cuthbert Pool Performance
Cuthbert pool production has remained stable, averaging 350 boe/d (entirely oil) during the reporting period. This stability stems from ongoing optimization, enhanced well speeds, and recent infrastructure improvements. Notably, two disposal wells underwent successful cleanouts utilizing solvent-based chemicals, leading to early promising outcomes in enhancing water disposal capabilities. Moreover, an upgrade to a third injection pump has positioned it for immediate operational readiness, and a high-impact remediation project is currently ongoing on the 16-28 HZ well.
Hearts Hill and Luseland Pool Updates
At the Hearts Hill pool, production is on an upward trajectory, with an average of 245 boe/d (89% oil). Effective load recovery and well improvements have contributed to better oil cut metrics. Currently, a comprehensive pipeline review is underway to enhance operational integrity and validate injection volumes in preparation for further field activations. Prospera is also assessing the potential of conformance gel injections to prevent water channeling and studying prospective zones like the Sparky sand and the Waseca and Rex sands.
Recent Growth at Luseland Pool
Production at the Luseland pool has recorded impressive growth, averaging 179 boe/d (100% oil). This surge results from post-maintenance reactivations and successful well optimizations. Noteworthy wells, such as the 01-17 and 03-09, continue to show stability and potential for growth, with current production levels reaching 15 and 17 bbls/d respectively. Meanwhile, the 04-33 well, managing a significant infusion of sand, has stabilized at 22 bbls/d, showcasing Prospera's operational diligence in transforming previously non-performing assets into productive wells.

Prospera has launched its inaugural cash flow and key wells report. This monthly update will coincide with operational reports, featuring critical data such as monthly revenues, operating costs, and field cash flows alongside capital outlays.
