Exhibit 99.1

 

QUARTERLY REPORT for the period ended 31 December 2018

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

-

Average net production for the quarter ended 31 December 2018 was 726 barrels of oil equivalent per day, up 15% from the quarter ended 30 September 2018 of 631 barrels of oil equivalent per day (production numbers are based on barrels sold and doesn’t include movements in oil tank inventory).

 

-

Current 30 day production rate (as at January 2018), is averaging 900 BOPD (on a gross Operated basis) and approximately 630 BODP net to Samson. This decrease is modest compared to the December quarter, and expected to be reversed given that the workover rig that was stood down for December has recommenced operations in mid January.

 

-

Production from the Foreman Butte project increased from the September quarter total of 54,779 barrels of oil (net production) to 63,618 barrels of oil for the December 2018 quarter. The increase in production is due to the workover program Samson has put in place following the acquisition and refurbishment of its workover rig.

 

Prior 12 month production by quarter:

		OIL US$/Bbl				GAS US$/Mscf
December 2018 Quarter		$	44.73			$	4.85
September 2018 Quarter		$	65.07			$	5.54

 

In some cases revenue is yet to be received and is therefore an estimate.

 

The differential (the difference between WTI and local pricing) for Williston Basin crude increased to $21 per barrel for December 2018 as a result of additional Canadian crude being available. Williston differentials are set monthly by our marketer and are generally around $4 per barrel, the differential has been set for January 2019at $9.46 per barrel and $4.33 for February 2019. This return to “normal” is a result of several factors including the mandatory production curtailment by the State of Alberta and a higher demand for export barrels at the Gulf Coast

PROJECTS

 

Rainbow Field: Williams County, North Dakota

Mississippian Bakken Formation, Williston Basin

Gladys 1-20H

Samson 23% Working Interest

Kraken Operating, LLC, the operator of the Gladys 1-20H well, has been producing this well at an average rate of 146 BOPD and 172 MCFPD during the quarter. There are 6 additional Bakken/Three Forks drilling locations on this 1280 acre lease.

 

Foreman Butte Project: McKenzie & Williams Counties, North Dakota and Richland, Roosevelt, Sheridan Counties, Montana

Mississippian Madison Formation, Williston Basin

Samson 87% Operated Average Working Interest

The previously announced sale transaction for this project did not close as expected on 15 October 2018 and that contract was terminated.

 

Samson has three initiatives in place and is pursuing:

1)

A refinance of the existing debt facility, this process is close to finalization with the necessary due diligence being undertaken

 

2)

A farmout of the considerable upside in the Home Run Field. This field the largest in the portfolio and has a modest PDP reserve and therefore not effected as much by the recent downturn in oil prices The field however has large PUD reserve which is not valued in the trade sale market and is accordingly not subject to the value gap which has developed because of that price deterioration.

 

3)

An asset sale to the previously engaged buyer or another buyer, this is proving to be difficult because of the lower oil price situation

 

Samson averaged a gross 1043 BOPD from its operated wells in the Foreman Butte Project this quarter. The production has increased by 25% from the previous gross operated production rate for the September quarter of 833 BOPD. (These production numbers represent all barrels produced and includes some oil that remains in oil tank inventory at the end of the quarter).
