(“Prairie Provident” or the “Company”), a leading exploratory and production company based in Calgary, Alberta, has recently announced its operating and financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, along with its year-end reserves. The Company’s comprehensive report includes the audited annual consolidated financial statements, Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), and the Annual Information Form for the same period.

Financial Highlights
During Q4 2024, Prairie Provident reported a net loss of $17.9 million or $0.14 per share, which was an improvement compared to the net loss of $21.9 million or $0.17 per share in the same quarter of the previous year. The Company’s revenue for Q4 2024 was $21.3 million, a 22% increase from the previous year’s quarter. The revenue growth can be attributed to higher commodity prices and increased production volumes.
Operational Highlights
Prairie Provident’s average daily production during Q4 2024 was 5,323 boe/d, a 15% increase compared to the same quarter in 2023. The Company’s capital expenditures were $15.7 million during Q4 2024, primarily focused on drilling and development activities. The Company also announced the successful drilling of the 10-11-61-16W6 well, which is expected to contribute approximately 300 boe/d to Prairie Provident’s production.
Year-end Reserves
Prairie Provident’s year-end reserves for 2024 were estimated to be 23.8 MMboe, a 30% increase compared to the previous year’s reserves. This growth can be attributed to the successful drilling of new wells and the re-evaluation of existing reserves in the context of higher commodity prices. The Company’s proved plus probable reserves represent approximately 11 years of production at current rates.
Impact on Individuals
The positive financial and operational results reported by Prairie Provident can be seen as a positive sign for the Canadian oil and gas industry. With increased production volumes and revenue, the Company is able to generate more cash flow, which could lead to potential dividend increases or share buybacks. Additionally, the success of Prairie Provident’s drilling activities could lead to an increase in employment opportunities in the industry. However, it is important to note that the price of oil and gas remains a significant factor in the financial performance of exploration and production companies, and volatility in commodity prices could impact Prairie Provident and other companies in the industry.
Impact on the World
The positive financial and operational results reported by Prairie Provident contribute to the overall health and stability of the Canadian oil and gas industry. Canada is one of the largest oil and gas producing countries in the world, and the industry plays a significant role in the Canadian economy. The increase in production volumes and revenue reported by Prairie Provident could lead to an overall increase in exports and contribute to the global energy supply. However, it is important to consider the broader context of the global energy transition and the role of renewable energy sources in the future of the energy industry.
Conclusion
Prairie Provident Resources’ Q4 2024 operating results and year-end reserves demonstrate the Company’s continued success in the Canadian oil and gas industry. With increased production volumes, revenue, and reserves, Prairie Provident is well-positioned to generate cash flow and contribute to the industry’s growth. However, the financial performance of the Company and the industry as a whole remains dependent on commodity prices and the ongoing energy transition. As the industry continues to evolve, it is important for companies like Prairie Provident to adapt and innovate to remain competitive.
