HighPeak Energy Message to Shareholders
HighPeak Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jack Hightower, said, “HighPeak is a growth story. We continue to build production with our one-rig drilling program primarily focused in the Flat Top area. First quarter 2021 production was up 59% compared with the fourth quarter 2020 demonstrating the productivity of our wells despite the effects of winter storm Uri, which decreased our average first quarter production by approximately 880 Boe/d.
We grew EBITDA 187% quarter over quarter and exited the quarter with cash on the balance sheet and zero debt. Our production is continuing to increase and during the first half of May we averaged approximately 8,300 Boe/d which is an increase of about 57% compared with our first quarter sales volumes.” Source HighPeak Energy First Quarter 2021 Update
