Jupiter Reports First Quarter 2018 Results and Revised 2018 Guidance

Canada NewsWire

CALGARY, May 23, 2018 /CNW/ - Jupiter Resources Inc. ("Jupiter" or the "Company") today reported financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2018. In addition, the Company has updated 2018 guidance, reducing planned capital expenditures from $255-265 million to $165-175 million.

Jupiter has scaled back its 2018 capital program in response to the weak near-term outlook for AECO natural gas prices.  "We have decided to protect our long-term financial liquidity and to put our growth plans on hold until we see a strengthening in AECO natural gas prices," said Simon Bregazzi, Jupiter's CEO.

"In addition, recently we have shut-in at times up to 100 million cubic feet equivalent per day (MMcfe/d) of production to preserve resource not protected by our financial hedges.  Numerous factors inform our decision to shut-in beyond simply the spot price of gas, but it is reasonable to assume that if we encounter market conditions similar to last summer, we could shut-in up to 200 MMcfe/d of production if warranted," added Simon.

Jupiter's first quarter financial results have been posted to the investor portal on the Company website. The Company will be hosting a conference call to discuss results on May 24, 2018.
