Net volume sold reflects oil, gas, and NGL sales allocated to Incremental net of royalties, fuel gas used in the field and plant, and gas shrinkage and losses. Net sales revenue is Incremental's proportional share of the revenue after marketing and transportation fees and deductions.
Average Sale Price is net of refinery and transportation deductions.
Gas volume (MCF) is converted to Barrels of Oil Equivalent Sold (BOE) on a ratio of 6 MCF of gas per barrel of oil. NGL's are sold in gallons and converted to BOE on a ratio of 42 US gallons of NGL's per barrel of oil.
Oil, gas and NGL prices increased by 14%, 10% and 49% respectively. Gas prices remained higher in Q4-16 with a marked uplift in December due to colder winter temperatures and increased gas demand in the US.
SILVERTIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
In Q4-16, eight recompletions were completed in the Silvertip Field. The average 15-day initial production (IP) rate for these wells was 157 MCFD.
