Replacement of the same 4 March update: February production above 4,200 boe/d, Gemini 5 and 6 tied into the new pipeline, Gemini 7 and Pisces 3 due shortly. The guidance table is cut to the $80 and $90 WTI cases, and the company says higher-price guidance will follow.
Pisces 3 (100% owned) at Brooks finished fracture stimulation, with all 33 stages placing sand. After a 7-day shut-in it should flow to temporary facilities by mid-March, then connect to the 02-29 battery by 31 March 2022.
February production averaged above 4,200 boe/d (73% oil), just under January's 4,300 exit. Gemini 5 and 6 are tied into the new Brooks pipeline, Gemini 7 and Pisces 3 follow within weeks. H1 2022 guidance stays 4,000-5,000 boe/d; higher-oil-price guidance is promised.

Calima signed a deal with Pivotal Energy Partners to finance and build a Brooks pipeline linking the 02-29 battery to the Gemini 5-7 and Pisces 3 wells. Cost is about C$4.3m (cap C$5m), repaid at ~C$76,000 a month over up to 7 years; completion due late March 2022.
Gemini 6 and 7 finished drilling in 6 days each and the rig was released, completing the Brooks Gemini program on budget. Pisces 2 and 1 came on stream 26-27 January with oil in flowback. Leo 4 reached 4,088m depth; completion is planned late Q2 or early Q3.
Calima spudded Leo #4 on 20 January 2022, a 50% owned, company-operated step-out Sparky well at North Thorsby, a new area with no booked reserves. Budget is C$3.6m gross (C$1.8m net). Frac and tie-in planned late Q2 or Q3 2022; production expected Q3 2022.
Calima added two conventional Sunburst horizontal wells, Gemini 6 and 7, at Brooks. Gemini 6 spudded on 15 January. Each costs about C$1.0m with expected IP90 of about 140 bbl/d, and the wells are to be tied in during Q1 2022. Funded from cash flow and the C$27.0m credit facility.
Gemini 5, a vertical Sunburst test at Brooks, was drilled to about 1,059m and logs show a Sunburst interval with sufficient reservoir quality. Production rates are unknown pending a test. The company says it may add 1-6 new horizontal locations. A possible Mannville gas zone also needs more work.
Pisces 3 finished drilling in 7 days to about 2,600m, on budget so far. Fracturing is planned for early February. Pisces 1 and 2 are tied in and in shut-in, with flow testing expected in late January.
Calima began its 2022 campaign: Pisces 3, a third Glauconitic well, spudded on 2 January, and Pisces 1 and 2 are being fracture stimulated. Flow testing of the first two is expected in late January. Hedging of 50% of net production continues.
Production passed 3,800 boe/d in late December but the 4,500 boe/d year-end target was missed. Leo 3 was down from 23 December with sand in the wellbore, and peak rates have slipped to February 2022. Leo 1 and 2 produce over 400 and 420 boe/d.
