(MENAFNEditorial) iCrowdNewswire - Aug 15, 2017

HOUSTON —Yuma Energy, Inc. (NYSE American:YUMA) (the "Company" or "Yuma") today announced its financial results for the quarter endedJune 30, 2017.

Second Quarter 2017 Highlights

  • Net average production was 2,553 Boe/d for the second quarter of 2017, a 39.1 percent increase over the second quarter of 2016.
  • Cash provided by operations was$2,889,407for the six months endedJune 30, 2017, compared to cash used in operations of$2,442,876in the same period in 2016.
  • The Company sold non-core properties inBrazos County, Texasfor$5.5 million(prior to purchase price adjustments) and reduced its debt by$7.5 millionfrom$39.5 millionat the end of the first quarter of 2017 to$32.0 millionat the end of the second quarter of 2017.
  • The Company increased its Permian Basin acreage position to 2,491 acres (2,180 net acres) inYoakum County, Texasto horizontally develop the San Andres Oil Play. This acreage is within the Area of Mutual Interest ("AMI") covering approximately 33,280 acres that was established as part of a joint development agreement entered into earlier this year with two privately held energy firms. Yuma is the operator of the acreage with an 87.5 percent working interest and intends to spud its first joint venture well in 2017, as well as continue to acquire additional acreage within the AMI.
  • Recent Developments

  • Yuma spud the Weyerhaeuser 14-1 well in Livingston Parish, which is referred to as the Glacier Prospect, onJuly 29, 2017. Drilling is currently at 13,058 feet, with total depth projected to be 15,098 feet, which the Company intends to reach before the end of August.
  • Management Comments

    Sam L. Banks, CEO of Yuma Energy, Inc., commented, "During the second quarter we were able to increase our acreage position in the Permian Basin at very attractive prices and look forward to continuing to expand our position in the San Andres horizontal play and spudding our first well there in 2017. In addition, we are excited about our recently spudded well in our Glacier Prospect. We believe our business strategy of generating organic opportunities through the drill bit and increasing our exposure to the Permian Basin will lead to significant shareholder value over time. As can be seen in our first and second quarter results, the merger with Davis has improved our cash flows and financial position and significantly increased our production."
