TEC 5.00 Teton Energy Announces Additions to Natural Gas Hedging Program
Jun 15, 2007 7:30:00 AM
DENVER, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Teton Energy Corporation ("Teton") (Amex: TEC) announced today that it will add to its natural gas hedging program starting July 2007 and continuing through October 2008.
Teton entered a Colorado Interstate Gas ("CIG") fixed price swap at a strike price of $5.78 per MMBtu for 30,000 million British Thermal Units ("MMBtu") per month for July 2007 through October 2008, for a total of 480,000 MMBtu for the respective period.
During November 2006, the Company entered into a costless collar hedge for the 2007 calendar year. Teton purchased a CIG put at a price of $6.00 per MMBtu and sold a CIG call at a price of $7.25 per MMBtu each for 30,000 MMBtu per month for January 2007 through December 2007, for a total of 360,000 MMBtu for the 2007 year.
Currently, the Company sells most of its natural gas in the Piceance Basin of Colorado at CIG index prices. The Company completed the hedging transaction with its senior bank, BNP Paribas.
These hedges are intended to improve the Company's financial flexibility by locking in a portion of its revenues and cash flow in the event that natural gas prices decline. The hedging strategy should allow Teton to develop its long-lived producing assets and to increase borrowing under its credit facility with BNP Paribas.
