potential & | Strong asset base including 100% owned gas plant, replacement cost $15mm | |
growth | | Tunisia Production from two concessions: Sabria and Chouech Es Saida fields |
Sabria (45% WI) is a large light oil field with 445 MMboe OIIP (P50) with only 1.6% produced to date | ||
Chouech Es Saida (100% WI) contains an aerially extensive (~125 km2) and thick (~50 m) basin-floor fan - | ||
excellent longer-term gas exploration potential within close proximity to the underutilized Nawara Gas Pipeline | ||
Multiple investment opportunities for organic growth funded by existing production | ||
Post period end, after oil lifting of 62,930 bbl, received $3.2 million (net of monthly $500k | ||
prepayments pre-lifting), two more liftings in 2024 with the next lifting confirmed to occur in | ||
August 2024 | ||
Company remains debt free with capital investments in 2024 to be funded from free | ||
cashflow, Q4 2024 target expected to increase hydrocarbon production | ||

Operational
Highlights
- Production for the period averaged 635 boe/d, totaling 57,785 boe comprising:
- Romania - 49 boe/d
- Tunisia - 586 boe/d
- Tunisia production increased in Q1 2024 by ~11% versus Q1 2023 following active management of the artificial lift systems, optimising production rates at the Chouech Es Saida field - artificial lift in the field has been successful and average pump life has increased from 8 months to over 24 months
- Sabria W-1 well sidetrack and artificial lift targeted for Q4 2024.
- The sidetrack design has been completed and the procurement process commenced
- Targeted to materially increase net Tunisia hydrocarbon production
- The Sabria N-2 well is dewatering at a slow rate and the Company is in discussions with its partner regarding stimulation techniques to enhance the dewatering of this well

- In Romania - granted an exploration phase extension to the Satu Mare in October 2023 Concession in Romania. The Moftinu gas field has been declared a Commercial Area, all other areas of the Concession remain Exploration Area. The exploration period extension is in two phases
- The first phase of the extension is mandatory and is two years in duration starting on 28 October 2023 with a work commitment of reprocessing of 100 kilometres of legacy 2D seismic as well as a 2D seismic acquisition program of 100 kilometres including processing the acquired seismic data
- The second phase of the extension is optional and is two years in duration starting on 28 October 2025 with a work commitment of drilling one well within the concession area with no total drilling depth requirement stipulated.
- In the Moftinu field in Romania, a reservoir review has identified a number of additional gas zones in the current wells to be brought into production via short interventions using a light workover rig
- The Canar-1 water injection well is currently injecting all produced water volumes from the Moftinu field, delivering approximately $600,000 of annual water disposal cost savings in 2023
