the increased clarity on capital returns But that's to be expected given the ever increasing ' base' of production. The pictorial analysis shows the April 2021 ' base' of 2900 boepd [ when Blackspur was acquired] declining by 15% par annum. Since then that base has been increased- through the sinking of 24 wells in that 2 year period- to be 4500 boepd . Whilst this base can be expected to exhibit the same 15%+ decline profile as the commnecing ' base' it does provide ample free cash flow capacity to make distributions to shareholders.The intention- not a commitment- to pay $5m in annual distributions is modest if not miserly. For 2023-24 it is paid for from the $6m in FCF in the 2Q 2023 quarter. Of course, the big news is the ' forthwith' message concerning Montney condensate flow data.This will be the source of the big Calima payoff. Yes....I'll be buying CE1 forthwith.
