Average forward natural gas prices for 2021 and 2022 have been higher than they have been since 2014. Crew acted quickly and took the opportunity to lock in approximately 45% of our forecast natural gas production for 2021 at an average price of $2.48 per Gigajoule ("GJ") (or $3.08 per thousand cubic feet ("mcf") calculated using Crew's heat content factor) and approximately 36% of targeted natural gas production for 2022 at an average price of $2.46 per GJ (or $3.05 per mcf using Crew's heat content factor). This program has enabled the Company to underpin a material portion of AFF for both years, in addition to securing attractive payouts2 on capital investments targeting an estimated 11 to 14 months.
