HOUSTON, TEXAS–(Marketwired – Jan. 13, 2014) – Cub Energy Inc. (“Cub“, or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE:KUB) announces fourth quarter operational update including the seventh consecutive quarter of production growth, record quarterly production and a 2013 exit rate of approximately 2,070 barrels of oil equivalent (“boe/d“) (a 35% increase over the Company’s 2012 exit rate).

Fourth Quarter Update

Average production from the Company’s Ukrainian assets for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 1,687 boe/d, an 11.5% increase over third quarter production of 1,513 boe/d. Cub realised a significant increase in corporate production from the tie in of its first 100% working interest (“WI“) well, the Rusko-Komarovskye-22 (“RK-22“) late in the fourth quarter. Average production for 2013 was 1,562 boe/d (an increase of 29% over 2012 production of 1,210 boe/d).

During the fourth quarter Cub drilled, completed and brought on production the RK-22 well. The Company announced in December the RK-22 well tested gas at a maximum flow rate of 2.5 million cubic feet per day (“MMcf/d“). The well commenced production in late-December and is currently producing approximately 1.9 MMcf/d or 318 boe/d.

During the quarter, the Company also commenced drilling of the Makeevskoye-17 (“M-17“) and began testing the Olgovskoye-24 (“O-24“) wells in eastern Ukraine. The M-17 and O-24 wells are operated by KUB-Gas LLC (“KUB-Gas“), a partially-owned subsidiary in which Cub has a 30% ownership interest through its 30% shareholding of KUBGas Holdings Limited.

Infrastructure Development

The Company continued work on the expansion of its Makeevskoye facilities designed to increase capacity from 30 MMcf/d to 68 MMcf/d for production from both the Makeevskoye and Olgovskoye fields. Upon completion of the expansion, Cub expects an increase in production from several wells that are currently flowing at restricted rate due to the current capacity of the facilities. Completion of the expansion project is expected during the first quarter of 2014.

2014 Work Program and Budget

The company expects to execute a capital expenditure budget of approximately $23 to $27 million (net to Cub) for 2014 and is contingent on the level of operating cash flow.

The program will primarily focus on further development of producing assets in both the eastern and western Ukraine with plans to drill eleven wells (six with a 100% WI and the balance with 25%-30% WI).

With the successful tie-in of the RK-22 well, Cub expects to commence drilling of the follow up RK-21 well during the first quarter of 2014. Two additional wells are planned on the RK licence during the balance of the year.

Additionally, Cub expects additional production volumes through of program of workovers, fracture stimulations and re-entries on 7-10 wells beginning in the first quarter of 2014.

Ukraine Industrial Gas Pricing

Based on current legislation, the Company expects first quarter industrial gas pricing to be between US $10.00 and $11.00 per thousand cubic feet. All of the Company’s Ukraine production is marketed and sold to industrial-end users.

Oil and Gas Equivalents

A barrel of oil equivalent (“boe“) or units of natural gas equivalents (“Mcfe“) is calculated using the conversion factor of 6 Mcf (thousand cubic feet) of natural gas being equivalent to one barrel of oil. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl (barrel) or an Mcfe conversion of 1bbl: 6 Mcf is, based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead and is not based on either energy content or current prices. While the boe ratio is useful for comparative measures, it does not accurately reflect individual product values and might be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. As well, given that the value ratio, based on the current price of crude oil to natural gas, is significantly different from the 6:1 energy equivalency ratio, using a 6:1 conversion ratio may be misleading as an indication of value.
