Calgary, Alberta – May 1, 2025 – TheNewswire - Avila Energy Corporation (“Avila” or “Company”), trading symbol, (CSE: VIK, OTCM: PTRVF and FRA:6HG0), announces that its Bear Hills processing plant has been shut in.

 

On April 3, 2025 Avila had its Bear Hills processing plant shut in for failure to meet the dew point standards of Atco/TC Energy. On April 2, Atco/TC Energy made its monthly inspection to gauge the dew point which establishes the temperature of the natural gas being exported from the Company's plant. The temperature exceeded the -10c threshold by several degrees. The Company shut in some of the production however upon the return the next day the temperature did not conform to requirements. The Company finds that baffling as the prior months with similar ambient temperatures the Company passed the test.

Accordingly it was determined that the Company service its heat exchanger, which is expected to solve the dew point problem. The Company expects the matter to be rectified shortly.
