CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / May 24, 2022 / Tenth Avenue Petroleum Corp. (“TPC” or the “Company”) (TSXV:TPC) is pleased to announce updates to its Enhanced Oil Recovery (“EOR“) project at Murray Lake, Alberta. The project is designed to increase oil recovery and extend the life of the field by injection of fluids into the existing producing reservoir.
The Company announced the closing (see April 12, 2022 Press Release) of 76 bbls/d (100% oil & NGLs) of high quality, high netback, low decline oil assets in the Murray Lake and Hays area of Southern Alberta. The effective date of the acquisition was March 1, 2022, which further strengthens the Company’s existing production volumes, third-party processing and operating cashflow for the first quarter.

Operational Performance
The Company successfully completed facility upgrades at Murray Lake in April, including capacity expansions to the existing infrastructure with the addition of a new treater, injection pumps, upgraded water handling capacity and 5,000 bbls of storage.
EOR injection operations commenced the first week of May 2022 and the Company has increased its current injection volumes to ~135m3/day (849 barrels fluid per day) and the Company anticipates oil production volumes to steadily increase based on the increase in injection rates.
The Company EOR plan is to steadily increase its voidage replacement ratio (VRR) from 1:1 (current), up to 3:1, which increase both total fluid and oil production volumes. The Company is actively monitoring injection volumes and production responses across injection patterns in an effort to maximize economic recovery of the Mannville “A” pool. Analogues pools have reached recovery factors of original oil in place of upwards of 20%, while to date less than 8% of the oil in place has been recovered in the Mannville “A” pool.

Oil and Gas Advisories
Meaning of Boe
The term “boe” or barrels of oil equivalent may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6 Mcf: 1 bbl) is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Additionally, given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil, as compared to natural gas, is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1; utilizing a conversion ratio of 6:1 may be misleading as an indication of value.
Reserves Estimates
The estimates of reserves and future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation.
Non-GAAP Measurements
The Company utilizes certain measurements that do not have a standardized meaning or definition as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS“) and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other entities, including but not limited to operating netback, cash flow and working capital. Readers are referred to advisories and further discussion on non-GAAP measurements contained in the Company’s continuous disclosure documents. Operating netback is a non‐GAAP measure calculated as the average per boe of the Company’s oil and gas sales, less royalties and operating costs.
