Our Q3 2011 production mix is approximately 85% crude oil (71% heavy oil, 14% light oil) and 15% natural gas. On a revenue basis, for Q3 2011, 93% of our revenue was derived from crude oil (74% heavy oil, 19% light oil) and 7% was from natural gas.
At Baytex, we manage our various commodity price exposures through a detailed risk management strategy. Our risk management strategy employs both crude oil and natural gas financial and physical forward contracts (fixed price forward sales and collars), heavy oil differential physical delivery contracts (fixed price and percentage of WTI), and foreign currency swaps.
