Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This document acts as a cover sheet referencing an external news release rather than containing a detailed financial statement.
Material Changes
No material changes versus the prior comparable period are detailed within the text of this Form 6-K. The filing references a news release dated October 23, 2014 (Exhibit 99.1), which likely contains the substantive information regarding material changes, but the content of that release is not included in the provided text.

The filing text does not contain management commentary, guidance, outlook, risks, contingencies, or unusual items. These details are presumed to be located in the referenced news release (Exhibit 99.1).
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the content of the news release dated October 23, 2014 (Exhibit 99.1), as this Form 6-K only serves as a vehicle to submit that document.
- Confirm the corporate name discrepancy: The filing is signed by Penn West Petroleum Ltd., while the request metadata lists Obsidian Energy Ltd. (Note: Penn West Petroleum was acquired by Obsidian Energy in 2014).
- Review the full text of Exhibit 99.1 for any material events, financial updates, or strategic changes occurring in late October 2014.
