Review of Operations
The first half of the 2017 Financial Year has been one of a rapid and dramatic positive transformation of the Company. This period was dominated by the following major events - the comprehensive commercial restructuring of the Grieve CO2 EOR Project (the "Grieve Project"), the significant re-capitalization of the Company to assure that the Grieve Project was for the first time fully funded through to completion and first oil production, and substantial corporate focus on finalising the acquisition of a significant working interest in the Madden Gas and CO2 Field - the 33rd biggest gas field in the United States by Proven Reserves as rated by the US Government - and the Lost Cabin Gas Plant. The Company announced the acquisition days after the half-year period end, resulting in the Company becoming a significant cash-flow positive natural gas and CO2 producer in CY2017.
