Mike Buck, CEO of Petro Matad, said:
"We are pleased to have agreed the amounts payable for Heron-1 production. We are working hard with PetroChina and the Mongolian authorities to get the first payment made and we look forward to a smooth monthly payment process thereafter. Meanwhile, our production operations continue and, as anticipated, after a period on natural flow, Heron 1 is now behaving more like the offset wells in the basin and artificial lift is now in operation. Although the pumped rate is lower than the rate on natural flow, we are pleased that the well is continuing to deliver and is doing so at a very low water cut.
We continue preparations for some low-cost well work for 2025 to support and potentially enhance production and Block VII appears to have some exciting potential. Our efforts to bring in partners are continuing in parallel."
