TSX-V: HME

VANCOUVER, Sept. 26, 2018 /CNW/ - Hemisphere Energy Corporation (TSX-V: HME) ("Hemisphere" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on field operations and corporate participation in an upcoming conference. 

Based on field estimates, corporate production has averaged approximately 1510 boe/d (97% oil) during the week of September 15th-21st. This production number does not include the final two new wells from the 11 well summer drill program, which are scheduled to come on production by the end of September.

Hemisphere also expects its Upper Mannville G pool facility expansion to be complete by the end of September, with start-up of the new SKUD (inclined free water knockout) and oil treater planned for the first week of October. Management anticipates additional growth in production rates from both of its Atlee Buffalo pools through the fourth quarter as wells continue to clean up and the facilities are optimized following their recent expansion work.

Don Simmons, President and CEO of Hemisphere, will be representing the Company at its exhibitor booth at the Schachter Energy Conference to be held on Saturday September 29, 2018, at the TELUS Convention Centre in Calgary, Alberta.

Oil and Gas Advisories

A barrel of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.  In addition, given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.
