Pisces 2 finished drilling to 3,953m in 8 days, under budgeted time and cost, completing the two-well Brooks program. Leo wells are meeting or exceeding expectations but had pump workovers, and peak rates are now expected by end of January 2022.
The first Pisces Glauconitic well at Brooks was drilled in 6 days to 2,610m, with reservoir quality and oil shows as expected. The second well has spudded. Fracturing is planned for early January, with production from mid-February 2022.
Calima has started a two-well Glauconitic drilling program at Brooks, costing C$5m in total. Wells are expected to have 200-400 boe/d IP90 rates, with production from mid-February 2022. It will be funded from cash flow and the National Bank facility, with hedging planned.
All three Leo wells at Thorsby are tied in and flowing back. Leo 3 is producing over 250 boe/d, ahead of expectations; Leo 1 and 2 are still cleaning up. IP90 guidance stays 270-460 boe/d per well and the 4,500 boe/d year-end target is said to be on track.
Notice of the 3 November webinar on the September quarterly report, with an updated November investor presentation attached. It repeats known results and plans and adds no new information.

Calima expects to distribute up to 30% of free cash flow to shareholders from 2022. The preliminary 2022 plan is 13 wells, C$35m capex and 5,500 boe/d average production. Free cash flow ranges C$29-52m at US$70-90 WTI. This is an intention, not a declared dividend.
Calima issued 380,553 shares to marketing and corporate consultants in place of cash, with the standard notice allowing them to be resold. A minor administrative issue.
Fracturing of the three Leo wells began 10 October, about two days per well, followed by a 7-day shut-in. Flow testing is expected from the last week of October. Reliable rates need 30-60 days of fluid recovery, with full potential around December-January.
Leo 3 finished drilling at 3,681m with expected reservoir quality, completing the three-well Thorsby drilling. Fracturing is now expected in the second week of October, with first production in early November. That is later than the late September frac and late October start previously guided.
August production averaged 3,493 boe/d, up from 3,291 in July. Operating netback was A$2.8m. Net debt rose to A$18.6m from A$17.2m, which the company attributes to the Leo drilling. Leo production is now expected in November, later than the late October previously guided.
Calima has hired Peters & Co. to review options for its 60,000-acre Montney assets, including a sale, joint venture or asset exchange. It plans no further updates until binding agreements are signed, which could take up to 6 months. This follows the earlier search for a partner or buyer.
Leo 2 was drilled to 3,680m in the planned 10 days with expected oil and gas shows. Leo 3 spudded 7 September. Fracturing is still expected in the fourth week of September, with first production late October. Modelled 90-day rates remain 274-460 bbl/d per well.
