OPERATIONS
During 2024 Journey continued to move forward on its initiatives with a view to increasing free cash flow beginning in 2025 and with a long-term strategy of increasing its proved, developed, producing value and adjusted funds flow on a per share basis. The central pillar of this strategy is participation in the Duvernay Joint Venture with capital spending beginning in late 2024 and accelerating in 2025 and 2026. This pillar is augmented by realizations on investment in the power business and by future investments in the conventional business, led by expanding the polymer flood in Medicine Hat.
On March 20, 2024 Journey issued
Total capital spending for the fourth quarter of 2024 was
Journey achieved sales volumes of 10,815 boe/d (
At the beginning of August, Journey was notified by a third-party operator that they were shutting in Journey volumes in Stolberg, which had been going to a third-party processing facility, due to a dispute on processing fees compounded by low natural gas prices. The majority of Journey's Stolberg production volumes are impacted by this closure due to a lack of takeaway capacity in the area for solution gas. These volumes were curtailed in late July, 2024 and are expected to reduce sales volumes by approximately 300 boe/d for the duration of the curtailment. Journey and its partners have initiated a process to redirect the volumes north to Hanlon Robb and are forecasting a return of these volumes to production in summer 2025.
In October, Journey closed the divestment of certain Central Alberta assets to a private company for nominal consideration. Production from this minor divestment was 130 boe/d (
In mid-February 2025, Journey entered into an agreement to sell assets in the Brooks area for
Joint Venture with Spartan Delta
On May 7, 2024 Journey announced its participation with Spartan Delta in a 128-section Joint Venture in the Duvernay west shale basin. Journey's current working interest within the block is
Two wells have been drilled to date from a 05-18-042-03W5 pad as part of the Joint Venture with Spartan Delta in the Duvernay in the west shale basin. 03-26-042-04W5 was drilled to a lateral length of 3,511 meters and 09-05-042-03W5 was drilled to a lateral length of 3,650 meters. The success of these initial wells led Journey to upwardly revise its Duvernay type curve. As shown in Journey's March, 2025 corporate presentation, the wells continue to outperform the revised type curve.
Capital expenditures for the Joint Venture are capped at a gross amount of
With the revised term-out of the majority of its debt until 2029, the recent amendments to the AIMCo term debt payments (January 29, 2025 press release), and with future revenues from its power business, Journey is in a solid position to fund its working interest portion of the Joint Venture development. Journey believes it has found a quality partner in Spartan Delta to help benefit from the economies of scale while minimizing the risk of single events on the Company's business plan. Journey's plan is to maintain its net acreage position with a smaller working interest in a larger land block. This strategy will maximize the net number of azimuth locations in the liquids window. Journey's working interest share in the joint lands is enough to support 60 net 2.5 mile wells on azimuth locations.

Non-IFRS Measures
This press release contains certain financial measures and ratios which do not have standardized meanings prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS Accounting Standards") or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). As these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are commonly used in the oil and gas industry, Journey believes that their inclusion is useful to investors. The reader is cautioned that these amounts may not be directly comparable to measures for other companies where similar terminology is used. The non-GAAP measures and ratios used in this press release, represented by the capitalized and defined terms outlined below, are used by Journey as key measures of financial performance, and are not intended to represent operating profits nor should they be viewed as an alternative to cash provided by operating activities, net income or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
(1) "Operating income" and "Operating Netback(s)". The Company uses netbacks to help evaluate its performance, leverage, and liquidity; comparisons with peers; as well as to assess potential acquisitions. Management considers netbacks as a key performance measure as it demonstrates the Company's profitability relative to current commodity prices. Management also uses them in operational and capital allocation decisions. Journey uses netbacks to assess its own performance and performance in relation to its peers. These netbacks are operating, Funds Flow and net income (loss). "Operating income" is calculated as the average sales price of the commodities sold (excluding financial hedging gains and losses), less royalties, transportation costs and operating expenses. There is no GAAP measure that is reasonably comparable to operating income. The Company refers to Operating Netback expressed per unit of sales volume as an "Operating Netback" and reports the Operating Netback before and after hedging, both of which are non-GAAP financial ratios. Journey considers Operating Netback an important measure to evaluate its operational performance as it demonstrates its field level profitability relative to current commodity prices and is also relevant for comparisons to Journey's peers. Below is the reconciliation of the Operating Netback for Journey for 2024 and 2023:

(2) "Net debt" is calculated by taking current assets and then subtracting accounts payable and accrued liabilities; and the principal amount of term debt, convertible debentures, and other loans. Net debt is used to assess the capital efficiency, liquidity and general financial strength of the Company. In addition, it is used as a comparison tool to assess financial strength in relation to Journey's peers.

(3) Journey uses "Capital Expenditures (excluding A&D)" and "Capital Expenditures (including A&D)" to measure its capital investment level compared to the Company's annual budgeted capital expenditures for its organic capital program, excluding acquisitions or dispositions ("A&D"). The directly comparable GAAP measure to capital expenditures is cash used in investing activities. Journey then adjusts its capital expenditures for A&D activity to give a more complete analysis of its capital spending used for FD&A purposes. The capital spending for A&D proposes has been adjusted to reflect the non-cash component of the consideration paid (i.e. shares issued). The following table details the composition of capital expenditures and its reconciliation to cash flow used in investing activities:

Measurements
All dollar figures included herein are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Where amounts are expressed in a barrel of oil equivalent ("boe"), or barrel of oil equivalent per day ("boe/d"), natural gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil equivalent at nine (6) thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") to one (1) barrel. Use of the term boe may be misleading particularly if used in isolation. The boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf to 1 barrel ("Bbl") of oil or natural gas liquids is based on an energy equivalency conversion methodology primarily applicable at the burner tip, and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. This conversion factor is an industry accepted norm and is not based on either energy content or current prices. References to "oil" in this press release include light, medium and heavy crude oil, combined. NI 51-101 includes condensate within the product type of "natural gas liquids". References to "natural gas liquids" or "NGLs" include pentane, butane, propane, and ethane. References to "gas" or "natural gas" relates to conventional natural gas. References to "liquids" includes crude oil, condensate and NGLs.
All volumes in this press release refer to the sales volumes of crude oil, natural gas and associated by-products measured at the point of sale to third-party purchasers. For natural gas, this occurs after the removal of natural gas liquids.
