Journey Energy Inc. (TSX: JOY) (OTCQX: JRNGF) is a Canadian exploration and production company focused on conventional, oil-weighted operations in western Canada. With a strategy to grow its production base through drilling on existing lands, implementing water flood projects, and executing accretive acquisitions, Journey aims to optimize its legacy oil pools through best practices in horizontal drilling and water floods. The company recently entered into a joint venture with Spartan Delta Corp. to jointly develop a block of land in the west shale basin of the Duvernay oil and liquids fairway, marking a significant opportunity for resource capture and capital expenditures. Furthermore, with expansion plans for power generation business, including the completion of the Gilby power project and re-energizing the Mazeppa power project, Journey is poised for growth and increased revenue streams.
Journey Energy has reported its year-end 2024 oil and gas reserves evaluation, highlighting a strategic shift toward higher netback liquids. While proved developed producing reserves decreased 4% to 35.5 MMboe (NPV@10%: $350.3 million), total proved reserves increased 1% to 50.4 MMboe (NPV@10%: $538.4 million) and total proved plus probable reserves grew 6% to 85.4 MMboe (NPV@10%: $882.7 million).
The company achieved positive technical reserve revisions, though these were offset by negative economic revisions primarily affecting natural gas properties due to reduced forecasted pricing. Reserve life indices improved, with PDP increasing to 8.9 years from 8.4 years.
Notably, 73% of 2024 TPP reserve additions were attributed to higher netback oil and liquids. The company also reduced total undiscounted end-of-life liability costs by over $21 million through asset sales and capital investments.
Journey's Duvernay Joint Venture saw significant reserve bookings, with year-end TPP reserves including 5 gross producing wells and 44 gross locations, valued at $151 million. The company plans to allocate most of its growth capital to this venture over the next two years, with GLJ forecasting a 2025 operating netback of approximately $50/boe.
Journey Energy has announced its preliminary guidance for 2025, focusing on Duvernay Joint Venture development. The company plans total capital expenditures of $50 million, including $30 million for drilling 7 (2.1 net) Duvernay wells, $10 million for power projects, and the remainder for various other expenditures.
Journey has reached an agreement with AIMCo to amend the repayment terms of approximately $12.4 million in term debt. Payments will be paused from March to August 2025, resuming in September with monthly payments of $2.1 million plus interest until February 2026.

Two wells drilled from the 05-18-042-03W5 surface location have shown excellent initial test rates.

The wells have demonstrated strong 30-day production rates, with the 09-05 well producing 865 bbls/d of oil and the 03-26 well producing 1,019 bbls/d, both significantly exceeding internal type curve expectations. Production rates are materially better than previous wells drilled in 2018 and 2019, leading to increased type curve expectations for Duvernay wells.
The Joint Venture's initial gross capital expenditures are capped at $30 million for 2024 and $100 million for 2025. Journey plans to participate in 6-8 wells in 2025, with majority being drilled from three well pads to maximize efficiency.
