Notes:
(1) Increase for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was due to the rise in realized oil prices. Decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was due to the decline in oil production. This was partially offset by the rise in realized oil prices.
(2) Increase in negative operating netback was due to the severe decline in natural gas prices at Woodrush, B.C. combined with the requirement to pay certain fixed transportation and processing costs despite the shutting-in of related natural gas production.
