Key points to note - Gross debt reduced by c.$266 million in the first half of 2023 through a combination of the 2025 Notes purchase and annual amortisation of the 2026 Notes. Net debt at the end of the first half of 2023 was c.$1.9 billion and is forecast to be c.$1.7 billion at year-end.
Very important - · Free cash flow of negative c.$100 million in the first half, in line with expectations. Significant reversal expected in the second half of the year, with c.$200 million free cash flow generated at $80/bbl. Full year free cash flow guidance remains unchanged at c.$100 million at $80/bbl.....But Brent oil is above $80 !!!

Oil production is going up and up !! Jubilee field following the recent start-up of the Jubilee South East (JSE) Project, offshore Ghana. Gross production from the field has surpassed 100,000 bopd, after a second JSE production well was brought onstream. Both of the JSE wells are performing in line with expectations and have increased production rates by c.50% compared to the first half of 2023. Two further wells are on track to be tied in during the remainder of the year !!
For the long term worth noting that all remaining hedges drop off in May 2024 so 2024 profits will jump again
long term debt will be reduced, profits will skyrocket and SP will follow.
