Strategy and Update
Hawk's corporate strategy is to grow its production base, cash flow and cash flow per share in a profitable manner and intends to accomplish this by targeting high netback oil production in low-cost areas. These areas are characterized by year round access, available infrastructure, moderate drilling depths, lower land costs, and significant in-house technical expertise.
Based on the current commodity price environment and ongoing depressed natural gas prices, Hawk intends to continue to focus its capital spending on oil prospects. The Corporation has assembled a number of oil prospects through crown land sales, lands available under the Trihawk farm-in agreement and through lands obtained in the Provost acquisition. Current production is approximately 375 Boe/d comprised of 310 bbl/d of crude oil and 400 Mcf/d of solution gas.

Barrels of oil equivalent (boe) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet (mcf) of natural gas to one barrel (bbl) of oil is based on an energy conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and is not intended to represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in this press release are derived by converting natural gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. Certain financial amounts are presented on a per boe basis, such measurements may not be consistent with those used by other companies.
