Production/Operations

As reported in mid-February 2015, Nighthawk's behind pipe and work-over operations were delayed throughout the winter due to unusually poor weather conditions. There was a further bout of very heavy snowfall in late February 2015, which extended delays in the field. However, progress has been made in March and April 2015 with these operations. Throughout January, February and early March 2015, Nighthawk experienced an inordinate amount of mechanical failures on 10 wells (14 separate projects) and rig activity was redirected to maintain production.
