Coro Energy
Plc
("Coro"
or the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries the
"Group")
Duyung PSC - Gas Sales
Agreement executed with Sembcorp
Coro Energy PLC, the South East
Asian energy company with a natural gas and clean energy portfolio,
notes the announcement released by Conrad Asia Energy Limited
("Conrad" or the "Operator"), the holder of a 76.5% operated
interest in the Duyung Production Sharing Contract (PSC), offshore
Indonesia, in which the Group has a 15% interest.
The Operator announced today
that it has agreed a binding Gas Sales Agreement
("GSA") for the sale and
purchase of the export portion of natural gas from the Mako gas
field with Sembcorp Gas Pte Ltd ("Sembcorp"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Sembcorp Industries Ltd, a leading energy and urban solutions
provider, headquartered in Singapore.
The GSA with Sembcorp for gas from
the Mako gas field is an important next step in the
commercialisation of the Mako field, the largest undeveloped gas
field in the West Natuna Sea and is a significant milestone on the
path to a Final Investment Decision ("FID") for the Mako project. With this
GSA and the gas sold under a separate domestic market obligation
("DMO") GSA with PGN,
Indonesia's largest gas company[1], all of
Mako's current gas Contingent Resources have been committed to gas
buyers.
The contract term of the GSA is
until the end of the Duyung PSC in January 2037 and allows for the
sale of up is 76 billion British thermal units per day ("Bbtud"),
which is equivalent to around 76.9 million standard cubic
feet per day ("mmscfd"). The GSA also contains provisions for the
sale of up to an additional 35 Bbtud (around 35.4 mmscfd) should a
tie-in pipeline not be built to the Indonesian domestic market in
Batam and DMO sales do not therefore eventuate. The
commercial terms of the GSA are confidential and are subject to the
approval of the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources (the
"Minister").
A formal signing ceremony, in the
presence of SKK Migas, will be arranged at a later date.
Further details can be found in the
Conrad announcement this morning.
The Company also confirms that it
expects to finalise and publish its Annual Report and unsuspend the
shares early in September.
