About Prospera
Prospera Energy Inc. (TSX.V: PEI, OTC: GXRFF, FRA: OF6B) is a
publicly traded energy company based in Western Canada,
specializing in the exploration, development, and production of
crude oil and natural gas. Prospera is primarily focused on
optimizing hydrocarbon recovery from legacy fields through
environmentally safe and efficient reservoir development methods
and production practices. Prospera was restructured in the first
quarter of 2021 to become profitable and in compliance to
regulation, environment, landowners, and service providers.
The company is in the midst of a three-stage restructuring process
aimed at prioritizing cost effective operations while appreciating
production capacity and reducing liabilities. Prospera has
completed the first phase by optimizing low hanging opportunities,
attaining free cash flow, while bringing operation to safe
operating condition, all while remaining compliant. Currently,
Prospera is executing phase II of the restructuring process, the
horizontal transformation intended to accelerate growth and capture
the significant remaining reserves (400 million bbls). These
horizontal laterals allow PEI to reduce its environmental and
surface footprint by eliminating the numerous vertical well leases
along the lateral path. Phase III of Prospera's corporate
redevelopment strategy is to optimize recovery through EOR
applications. Further, Prospera will pursue its acquisition
strategy to diversify its product mix. Its goal is to attain 50%
light oil, 40% heavy oil and 10% gas.
PEI
continues to apply efforts to minimize its environmental footprint.
Also, efforts to reduce and eventually eliminate emissions,
alongside pursuing innovative ESG methods to enhance API quality,
thereby achieving higher margins and eliminating the need for
diluents.
