Website will showcase how digital design can enhance government missions

Herndon, VA, April 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DLT Solutions, a technology solution provider to the public sector, today announced that it would be a sponsor of a new premiere online publication focused on digital design for federal, state and local agencies. 

The publication, GovDesignHub, launched on April 10 and features independent expert commentary, case studies, industry insight, and news about how digital design drives advancements and creates new solutions to some of the most intractable challenges facing government today. 

“Many government organizations are applying creative and innovative approaches to using technology to help address their most pressing needs—from 3D building design to energy audits and advanced manufacturing,” said Kirk Fisher, vice president of digital design at DLT Solutions. “By showcasing many of these projects and the technology used to support them, GovDesignHub will deliver content to help government organizations accomplish their missions.”

Along with written commentary, the site will have podcast and video content categorized by topic, such as architecture, engineering and construction, and manufacturing. Upcoming features will focus on the military uses of 3D technology, how to prioritize public works projects, and the evolution of design, among others.

Initial site contributors include Lynn Allen, an expert with more than two decades of experience in computer-aided design. In addition to authoring articles for GovDesignHub, Allen will also be hosting a webinar on May 1, 2018 and conducting a live event on May 8, 2018 in partnership with DLT and Autodesk.

“With global population growth expected to increase by 30 percent by 2050, governments must embrace technologies that can address critical infrastructure gaps now and prepare for the future,” said Allen. “But agencies need insights and resources that can help them harness this technology. This much-needed site will provide content that enables agencies to gain confidence in their infrastructure projects and stay ahead of the curve.”

HOUSTON, April 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ultra Petroleum Corp. (NASDAQ:UPL) announces:· First quarter average production of 803 MMcfe/d exceeded the mid-point of guidance for the quarter,
· Borrowing base unanimously reaffirmed at $1.4 billion by the Company’s bank group,
· Revolving credit agreement amendment unanimously approved to provide leverage covenant relief to 4.50 times, and
· First quarter 2018 earnings conference call will be held May 10, 2018.

*First Quarter 2018 Production Above Mid-Point of Guidance*

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company’s production averaged 803 million cubic feet equivalent (MMcfe) per day, exceeding the mid-point of guidance of 790 to 810 MMcfe/d. Production volumes include 68.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 677.8 thousand barrels of oil and condensate and represents a 13% increase over the production volumes of first quarter 2017.

“We are very pleased to announce that we have exceeded the mid-point of our production guidance for the first quarter of 2018. The execution of our 2018 plan is off to a strong start with a production beat that should serve to increase investor confidence regarding our ability to meet or exceed guidance. We look forward to providing a complete update to our first quarter results as scheduled on May 10, 2018,” said Brad Johnson, Interim Chief Executive Officer.

*Borrowing Base Reaffirmed; Credit Agreement Amended*

Ultra’s borrowing base of $1.4 billion was reaffirmed by the bank group for its revolving credit agreement. In addition, the bank group also approved an amendment to the credit agreement providing for a step up in the maximum net leverage covenant to 4.50 times beginning at June 30, 2018, with step-downs to 4.25 times at September 30, 2019 and 4.00 times at March 31, 2020 and thereafter.

“The unanimous approval by our bank group of both the borrowing base and the net leverage covenant amendment underscores their confidence in the quality of our assets and the strength  of our business plan. I also want to be clear that the covenant relief we obtained in no way reflects any concern about our assets, the execution of our business plan or the guidance previously provided. Rather, we proactively pursued such relief from our bank group in direct response to shareholders’ belief that the market may have unwarranted concerns about the Company’s current liquidity and the flexibility of our balance sheet,” said Brad Johnson.

*First Quarter 2018 Earnings Conference Call*

The Company will host a conference call Thursday, May 10, 2018, at 10 a.m. Central Daylight Time (11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time) to discuss the Company’s first quarter 2018 results. In addition, the Company expects to provide updated results on its horizontal drilling program in Pinedale.
