oil = 6 mcf of natural gas.
In determining our estimated 10% discounted NPV, Sproule used a constant natural gas price of $C5.50/mcf and a constant oil price of $C43.43/barrel. These prices were actual weighted average commodity prices received by Dynamic in December 2002 that were assumed constant over the life of the reserves. Our estimated 10% discounted NPV of established reserves as of December 31, 2002 was $C143.4 million, an 87.4% increase over that of March 31, 2002. This represents an estimated net present value as of December 31, 2002 of $C7.05 per share based on our number of shares outstanding at December 31, 2002 of 20.4 million, basic.

Similarly, three-year weighted average cash flow per boe was $13.50, resulting in a recycle ratio of 1.9:1. Daily Average Production Rates In November 2002, production of natural gas and liquids (oil and natural gas liquids) peaked at just under our forecasted rate of 4,000 boe/day, closing the month with a daily average production rate of 3,736 boe/day. In December, daily average production stabilized at 3,428 boe/day. Forecasted production rates for the November-February period anticipated timely regulatory approvals of our St. Albert St. Albert could refer to:
Wayne Babcock, Dynamic's President, stated, "While we had forecast average daily production of 4,500 boe/day by mid-February 2003, we now estimate production will reach 5,200 boe/d by year end 2003. Included in our estimate is an increase in liquids production to approximately 1,900 boe/d and an increase in natural gas production to approximately 20 Mmcf/day. Daily average production estimates may be updated as further drilling and evaluation of our early-stage exploration properties at Sikanni and Orion in northeast B.C. continues over the next few months."
