(PIPE – TSX) Pipestone Energy Corp.
(“
Pipestone” or the “
Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has successfully increased its Reserve
Based Loan (“
RBL” or “
Credit
Facility”) to $280 million, from $225 million previously.
The Credit Facility upsize is driven by Pipestone’s efficient
execution of its organic development program, resulting in a
significant increase to its proved producing reserve value during
2021. The larger credit capacity provides Pipestone with increased
liquidity and flexibility with respect to its go-forward business
plans and future shareholder return objectives.
Credit Facility Update:
Pipestone Energy has closed on its bi-annual RBL
redetermination, which effective October 29, 2021, consists of a
$250 million syndicated revolving facility (“Syndicated
Facility”) and a $30 million bi-lateral operating facility
(“Operating Line”). Co-led by National Bank
Financial Inc., and the Bank of Montreal, and along with ATB
Financial, and Canadian Western Bank the corporate banking
syndicate has been expanded to also include the Business
Development Bank of Canada. Additionally, Pipestone has amended its
credit agreement to allow for future permitted distributions,
subject to certain customary liquidity and forecast leverage tests.
The Credit Facility continues to have a revolving period until May
31, 2022, with a maturity of May 31, 2023. The next borrowing base
redetermination is scheduled for May 2022.

In the interest of providing shareholders of
Pipestone Energy and potential investors information regarding
Pipestone Energy, this news release contains certain information
and statements (“forward-looking statements”) that constitute
forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable
Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to
future results or events, are based upon internal plans,
intentions, expectations and beliefs, and are subject to risks and
uncertainties that may cause actual results or events to differ
materially from those indicated or suggested therein. All
statements other than statements of current or historical fact
constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
are typically, but not always, identified by words such as
“anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “forecast”,
“continue”, “propose”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “believe”, “plan”,
“target”, “objective”, “project”, “potential” and similar or other
expressions indicating or suggesting future results or events.
Forward-looking statements are not promises of
future outcomes. There is no assurance that the results or events
indicated or suggested by the forward-looking statements, or the
plans, intentions, expectations or beliefs contained therein or
upon which they are based, are correct or will in fact occur or be
realized (or if they do, what benefits Pipestone Energy may derive
therefrom).
With respect to the forward-looking statements
contained in this news release, Pipestone Energy has assessed
material factors and made assumptions regarding, among other
things: future commodity prices and currency exchange rates,
including consistency of future oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and
natural gas prices with current commodity price forecasts; the
economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic ; the ability to
integrate Blackbird’s and Pipestone Oil’s historical businesses and
operations and realize financial, operational and other synergies
from the combination transaction completed on January 4, 2019;
Pipestone Energy’s continued ability to obtain qualified staff and
equipment in a timely and cost-efficient manner; the predictability
of future results based on past and current experience; the
predictability and consistency of the legislative and regulatory
regime governing royalties, taxes, environmental matters and oil
and gas operations, both provincially and federally; Pipestone
Energy’s ability to successfully market its production of oil, NGLs
and natural gas; the timing and success of drilling and completion
activities (and the extent to which the results thereof meet
expectations); Pipestone Energy’s future production levels and
amount of future capital investment, and their consistency with
Pipestone Energy’s current development plans and budget; future
capital expenditure requirements and the sufficiency thereof to
achieve Pipestone Energy’s objectives; the successful application
of drilling and completion technology and processes; the
applicability of new technologies for recovery and production of
Pipestone Energy’s reserves and other resources, and their ability
to improve capital and operational efficiencies in the future; the
recoverability of Pipestone Energy's reserves and other resources;
Pipestone Energy’s ability to economically produce oil and gas from
its properties and the timing and cost to do so; the performance of
both new and existing wells; future cash flows from production;
future sources of funding for Pipestone Energy’s capital program,
and its ability to obtain external financing when required and on
acceptable terms; future debt levels; geological and engineering
estimates in respect of Pipestone Energy’s reserves and other
resources; the accuracy of geological and geophysical data and the
interpretation thereof; the geography of the areas in which
Pipestone Energy conducts exploration and development activities;
the timely receipt of required regulatory approvals; the access,
economic, regulatory and physical limitations to which Pipestone
Energy may be subject from time to time; and the impact of industry
competition.
The forward-looking statements contained herein
reflect management's current views, but the assessments and
assumptions upon which they are based may prove to be incorrect.
Although Pipestone Energy believes that its underlying assessments
and assumptions are reasonable based on currently available
information, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking
statements, which are inherently uncertain, depend upon the
accuracy of such assessments and assumptions, and are subject to
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, both
general and specific, many of which are beyond Pipestone Energy’s
control, that may cause actual results or events to differ
materially from those indicated or suggested in the forward-looking
statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, volatility in market prices and demand for oil, NGLs
and natural gas and hedging activities related thereto; the ability
to successfully integrate Blackbird’s and Pipestone Oil’s
historical businesses and operations; general economic, business
and industry conditions; variance of Pipestone Energy’s actual
capital costs, operating costs and economic returns from those
anticipated; the ability to find, develop or acquire additional
reserves and the availability of the capital or financing necessary
to do so on satisfactory terms; and risks related to the
exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas
reserves and resources. Additional risks, uncertainties and other
factors are discussed in the MD&A dated August
11, 2021 and in Pipestone Energy’s annual
information form dated March 10, 2021, copies of which are
