Rhea-AI Summary

Kelt Exploration has announced the deferment of the start-up of certain natural gas wells to Q4 2024 due to weak gas prices at North American hubs. The company aims to take advantage of higher winter future strip prices. At its Wembley/Pipestone Division, Kelt has drilled six wells, with flow-testing underway, while eight more wells are scheduled for completion by year-end. In Pouce Coupe, Kelt has commenced a six-well program targeting the Charlie Lake formation with expected incremental output by December. The company has also hedged a portion of its gas and propane production to mitigate price volatility. Kelt reduced its 2024 AECO gas price forecast by 10% and STATION 2 gas price forecast by 14%, though it increased its WTI crude oil forecast by 2%. Consequently, Kelt's expected average production for 2024 has been revised to 34,000-36,000 BOE/d. Capital expenditures remain constant at $325 million, but the company expects to exit 2024 with production in the 45,000-50,000 BOE/d range.
