Enerplus Corporation reported production results for the fourth quarter of 2017. For the quarter, the company reported that the production was approximately 88,600 BOE per day, an increase of 12% from the third quarter of 2017. Crude oil and natural gas liquids production averaged approximately 46,750 barrels per day in the fourth quarter, an increase of 20% from the third quarter of 2017. The production outperformance in the fourth quarter was driven in part by higher than forecasted North Dakota volumes which averaged approximately 35,500 BOE per day, representing a 70% increase from the first quarter of 2017. Strong unrestricted Marcellus production in November and December in response to improved realized natural gas prices also helped support fourth quarter volumes. Marcellus production averaged approximately 193 MMcf per day in the fourth quarter, which takes into account 35 MMcf per day of price related production curtailments during the month of October.
