Petroleum and natural gas sales totalled $282.0 million for the quarter, down from $391.9 million in the same quarter last year, but up from $193.0 million in the second quarter of this year.

Vermilion says the decrease was primarily due to natural declines, plant turnarounds and limited capital investment during the quarter, partially offset by increased production in France following the restart of the Grandpuits refinery in mid-June.
In its outlook, Vermilion tightened its 2020 annual production guidance to a range of 94,000 to 96,000 boepd compared with earlier guidance of 94,000 to 98,000 boepd.
