Cabot Energy Plc provided update on the Company's production and operations ahead of the start-up of the Canadian summer work programme. Current production: Production in Canada is currently in line with guidance at up to 550 barrels of oil per day ('bopd') (on a gross basis, with the Company's working interest at 75%). Some single well batteries are being intermittently shut in due to trucking restrictions as the conditions remain wet in the area. Two wells, recently acquired and brought into production at good rates, require routine maintenance with a workover rig which is planned to occur in August and should add 80 bopd (gross). Approximately 130 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("boepd") of gas production is currently accruing to the Company from the Civita gas field onshore Italy, which was recently acquired. Canadian summer work programme: The Company is about to start a planned maintenance and inspection programme at its main 13-36 facility, expected to last up to 10 days. The 2017 summer work programme is due to commence in August, targeting an additional 300 bopd (gross) production in Canada. Programme to include: two side tracks from existing wells in the Rainbow region, the recompletion of two previously drilled wells in the Virgo region to enable water disposal downhole and the trucking of dry oil to the Company's facilities and three workover operations on wells in the Rainbow region to restart production.
