CALGARY, July 31, 2018 /CNW/ - Canbriam Energy (Canbriam) announced today that it has sold some non-core Montney lands in Northeast British Columbia for total proceeds of C$50 million.  The asset has no associated production and the disposition closed on July 30, 2018.    

"The disposition of non-core acreage supports the core development at our Altares Montney assets and the ongoing deleveraging of our balance sheet," said Paul Myers, Canbriam's President & Chief Executive Officer.  

Canbriam's Altares asset continues to deliver consistent performance with Q2 2018 production averaging approximately 40,400 boe/d, 16 percent of which was liquids.  Production rates reflect full effective capacity of Canbriam's owned and operated processing infrastructure.  2018 production expectations are reaffirmed between 37,000 and 39,000 boe/d, which includes routine downtime related to summer drilling and completion activities.
