Outlook
As a result of the world wide COVID-19 pandemic and continued over-supply of oil by OPEC countries and other producing countries, global oil prices have declined significantly. The Corporation has shut-in its low netback oil wells and minimized future spending on all of its assets. Lower oil prices and the full effect of reduced average daily production volumes, due to shut-in oil wells, persisted into the second quarter of 2020 and continued to negatively impact the Corporation’s cash flows from operations. The COVID-19 pandemic is an evolving situation that is expected to continue to have widespread implications on the Corporation’s business, results of operations, financial condition and the environment in which it operates.
