Coastal Energy Announces Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results
& Operations Update
Coastal Energy Company (the "Company" or "Coastal Energy") (TSX:
CEN, AIM: CEO), an independent exploration and production company
with assets in Southeast Asia, announces the financial results for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The functional
and reporting currency of the Company is the United States
dollar.
Q3 2013 Financial Highlights
- The Company's offshore production increased to 20,388 bbl/d in
the third quarter from 19,626 bbl/d in the same period last year
due to increases from further development drilling at Bua Ban North
as well as the inclusion of production at Bua Ban South. Total
Company production increased slightly to 21,832 boe/d from 21,798
boe/d in the same quarter last year as onshore gas production
declined to 1,444 boe/d from 2,172 boe/d due to extended seasonal
maintenance at the Nam Phong power plant. Total Company production
for the nine-month period increased slightly to 22,942 boe/d from
22,093 boe/d in the same period last year due to further
development drilling.
- EBITDAX for Q3 2013 was $134.6 million, 18% higher than the
$114.6 million recorded in Q3 2012 due to higher production and
lifting volumes. The Company's inventory levels decreased by 77,437
barrels in Q3 2013 whereas 121,445 barrels were added to inventory
during Q3 2012. The Company's EBITDAX for the nine-month period is
in line with 2012 levels despite a modest decline in realized crude
pricing due to higher production and lifting volumes.
- After normalizing revenue to a production basis, rather than
based on lifting volumes, Q3 2013 revenue would have been $193.8
million, a 6% increase year on year, driven by a 4% increase in
production volumes and a 2% decline in commodity pricing.
Operations Update
The Company has completed two development wells at the Kapal
field in Malaysia and is currently drilling a third. The Mobile
Offshore Production Unit (MOPU) refurbishment has been completed
and the MOPU is expected to arrive on location later this month.
First oil production at Kapal is expected shortly thereafter.
Following the completion of drilling at the Kapal field, the
Manta drilling rig will mobilize to the Meranti field offshore
Malaysia and begin appraisal & development drilling there.
Four of five wells at Bua Ban Main have undergone hydraulic
fracturing stimulation. The first two wells (BB01 ST1 and BB04 ST1)
tested the Eocene sands. The third and fourth wells (BB07 ST1 and
BB09 ST1) are testing the Eocene and the Lower Oligocene. The BB07
ST1 and the BB09 ST1 are still cleaning up with increasing oil
cuts. The fifth well (BB02 ST1) will be drilled horizontally into
the Eocene. BB01 ST1 and BB04 ST1 are flowing mostly water at low
rates with slight amounts of oil.
The Songkhla A18, the eastern side of the basin, is also being
hydraulically fractured to test the viability of fracturing the
Eocene reservoir on the eastern side of the basin.
Following the completion of the frac activities and workovers at
Bua Ban Main, the Vickburg rig will have completed its contract and
will be released. Approval of the EIA application for eleven
exploration wells is expected in the coming weeks. Following this
Coastal will submit the application for the Bua Ban development
area, which we expect to be approved near the end of the first
quarter. Once these are in place, a second rig will likely be
contracted in order to maintain a balance between exploration and
production.
A successful exploration well was drilled on Block L15/43
onshore Thailand (Coastal 39.0% working interest). The Sinphuhorm
East 1 flowed at a restricted rate of 51 MMCF/D from the same
horizon that is productive at Sinphuhorm field. The well proves the
field extends beyond the current production license into the L15/43
exploration acreage surrounding the Sinphuhorm field. The well did
not encounter a gas water contact.
Randy Bartley, President & CEO of Coastal Energy
commented:
"The Company continued to make progress in the third quarter of
2013. The first wells at the Kapal field were drilled and we expect
first production in Malaysia very shortly. Offshore Thailand
production increased slightly from year ago levels and we expect
gains to offshore production once the development drilling program
at Bua Ban North resumes.
"Regarding our frac progam, the original Bua Ban South frac
wells continue to perform in line with expectations after ten
months of production. In our latest campaign at Bua Ban Main, the
first two wells, which fracced much deeper into the Eocene, have
been disappointing. However, the early results of the third and
fourth wells in the Eocene and Lower Oligocene sandstone are
encouraging. We are still early on the learning curve and are
applying multiple fracture technologies to the various prospective
reservoirs in the Bua Ban and Songkhla Main fields in order to
determine the optimum method for producing these reservoirs. There
is a significant amount of oil in place in these tighter reservoirs
and we continue to be excited about the application of fracture
technology in the Songkhla Basin.
"Onshore, we are very pleased with our second discovery drilled
using the 3D seismic data acquired in 2011 and expect to continue
to grow our onshore business. Onshore production was lower than
previous levels due to increased maintenance at the Nam Phong power
plant. However, year-to-date onshore production is still well above
2012 levels.
"We plan to move the rig to the Meranti field in Malaysia
following completion of the work at Kapal, which will serve to
increase production in Malaysia in late 2013 to early 2014."
