CEO's Comment
Commenting today, Oryx Petroleum's Chief Executive Officer, Vance Querio, stated:
"We are pleased to report our reserves and resources at year end 2016 as evaluated by NSAI. Our proved plus probable reserve estimates and associated after-tax net present value of future net revenue have been impacted by a lower for longer oil price outlook, the downward revision of reserve volumes attributable to the Demir Dagh Jurassic reservoir, and adjustments to development plans. In addition, the revised estimates reflect significantly lower capital investment requirements than estimated previously as a result of the removal of the relatively high development costs associated with Demir Dagh Jurassic volumes, reduced facilities requirements and lower operating costs. Our reserve and resource base remains sizable. We look forward to a more active development program in 2017 focused on the Zey Gawra field in the Hawler license area and maturing our AGC Central exploration license area in West Africa."
