Coastal Energy Announces Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results & Operations Update
Third Quarter 2012 Highlights
- Total Company production increased to 21,798 boe/d in the third quarter from 12,028 boe/d in the same period last year. The Company's offshore production was 19,626 bbl/d compared to 10,191 bbl/d in Q3 2011, with the increase due to the inclusion of production from both platforms at Bua Ban North. Offshore production was impacted by downtime at Bua Ban North and Songkhla during rig moves as well as the MOPU replacement at Bua Ban North. Onshore production of 2,172 boe/d increased from Q3 2011 levels of 1,837 boe/d as natural gas demand continued to recover following the flooding in Thailand in late 2011.
- EBITDAX for Q3 2012 was $114.6 million, 157% higher than the $44.7 million recorded in Q3 2011. Revenue and EBITDAX were driven higher by increased oil liftings and commodity prices. Crude oil inventory was 577,863 barrels at September 30, 2012, the revenue from which will be recognized in the fourth quarter. The Company saw closing inventory increase by 121,445 barrels (approximately 27%) during Q3 2012.
- The Company announced successful drilling results in the Songkhla A field. The A-10 well, drilled in the eastern most fault block of the field, encountered a record amount of net pay for the basin and exhibited very favorable reservoir characteristics in the Lower Oligocene interval. In late September 2012, the well was brought on production at approximately 4,000 bbl/d. Subsequently, the Company drilled the A-13 well in the previously untested northeast fault block and encountered 67 feet of net pay in the Lower Oligocene. Successful results from the A-13 provide the opportunity for an additional well (Songkhla A-19) higher up structure to add additional pay thickness.
- The Company completed the conversion of the Richmond mobile offshore production unit (MOPU). Subsequently, in October 2012, the Richmond was installed at the Bua Ban North B field, increasing production capabilities to 55,000 bbl/d. The previous MOPU in the Bua Ban North B field was purchased by the Company and reinstalled at Bua Ban South.
- The Company signed a contract with a subsidiary of Atwood Oceanics, Inc. for the Manta jackup drilling rig. The rig is scheduled to be delivered by late November and will conduct drilling operations for the Company in the Gulf of Thailand and offshore Malaysia.
- The Company upsized and amended its senior secured revolving credit facility with BNP Paribas and Commonwealth Bank of Australia. The facility has been increased from $100 million to $200 million and includes two additional banks, Standard Bank and Standard Chartered Bank.
- The Company is approximately 60% complete with the acquisition of new 3D seismic data being shot over the entire Songkhla basin. Current expectations are for delivery of the processed data in Q1 2013.
The following financial statements for the Company are abbreviated versions. The Company‘s complete financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 with the notes thereto and the related Management Discussion and Analysis can be found either on Coastal’s website at www.CoastalEnergy.com or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
