Advantage Energy Ltd (TSX: AAV) is involved in supply of affordable and sustainable Canadian energy to fulfil the demands in Canada and overseas. It is currently engaged in development and delineation of its Montney natural gas and liquids resource at Valhalla, Glacier, Wembley/Pipestone, and Progress, Alberta.

During the second quarter of the year 2023, AAV achieved industry beating gross margin as well as EBITDA margin. Its EBITDA Margin was increased to 51.7% in Q2 2023 versus industry median of 46.7%..

Notably, Advantage Energy increased its liquids production by 10% to 6,355 barrels per day in Q2 2023. The company is expecting its production to surge in Q3 and Q4 following continued development at Wembley. In short, the company is on track to grow annually by around 20% in FY23.

Recently, the company completed acquisition of 61 million cubic feet per day of new long-term Empress capacity from April 2026. This acquisition is in line with the company’s strategy to scale up its export capacity for natural gas and decrease concentration risk.

During the second quarter of the year, the company focused on development of its oil‐weighted property at Wembley and completed drilling on all seven wells.

However, the company received a lower revenue during the quarter because of a fall in realized prices, reduced production, higher expenses, and losses on derivatives.
