Quattro Releases 1st Quarter Financials, Increasing Oil Production by 150%

Quattro’s oil and natural gas production year over year increased 16% during the period ending March 31, 2016, with Quattro’s increase in oil production representing 28% of the Company’s average production of 1,646 boe/day.

The Company’s focus on increasing oil production has continued into the 2nd quarter. Currently oil production is 550 barrels per day and upon the successful financing of its business plan, Quattro intends to work toward its next milestone of 800 barrels per day, anticipated to occur in the 3rdquarter of 2016.

Leonard Van Betuw, President and CEO commented, “Commodity prices in the first quarter of 2016 were the lowest the industry has experienced in 10 years.  Despite this fact, the Company continued to focus on improving its operational results through an increase in oil production.  Furthermore, by the end of March, the continuing capitulation of our peers and the dramatic reduction in long term investments by major producers around the world are now starting to be the factors that Quattro believes will rebalance supply.  As previously stated, Quattro’s diversified and competitive low cost production strategy situated within low risk geo-political jurisdictions are what will ultimately be the foundation for the continuing improvements in the Company’s financial strength.”

Quattro continues to remain focused on the long term development of its business in its three core areas of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.  Quattro upon the filing its financials is now continuing to negotiate the funding of the full development of the Saskatchewan, Alberta and NE British Columbia oil fields to collectively reach their ultimate sustainable potential of more than 3,000 barrels per day for the next ten to fifteen years.

Upon filing of our 1st quarter financial statements and correlated MD&A, Quattro will be filing with the Alberta Securities Commission for the revocation of the management cease trade order currently in place.

BOE presentation:

Barrel ("bbl") of oil equivalent ("boe") amounts may be misleading particularly if used in isolation. All boe conversions in this report are calculated using a conversion of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one equivalent barrel of oil (6 mcf=1 bbl) and is based on an energy conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the well head.
