I thought incredible then realised only 158 bopd are attributed to MXO still been a fantastic rebound for you guys welldone
• OML 113, the Aje field in which MX Oil holds 5% equity investment, continues to produce oil from its two producing wells at a stable rate of around 3,150 bopd (157.5 bopd net to MXO).
• The 10th lifting was completed in March 2019.
• The profit from the 10th lifting was used to significantly reduce the project level debt allocated to all the partners.
• The Company's share of the 10th lifting equates to 17,323 barrels. The lifting was sold by the joint operators at an oil price of $66.97 per barrel meaning that, at the project level, the company's investment produced $1.16 million revenue and net profit of approximately $600,000. The profit from the lifting was applied against the project level debt.
• Subject to normal operating conditions with current oil prices and production costs remaining stable, it is anticipated that the project debt should be repaid after the next 2 liftings.
• The Company anticipates that the 11th lifting should take place in June 2019.
• From the 13th lifting, which is anticipated in Q1 2020, the Aje investment is anticipated to generate material free cash flow for the Company assuming continued stable production and no change to capital or operational expenditure at project level.
• Based upon this and assuming no significant increase in the Company's overhead, the directors believe that the Company should move to profitability during the first half of 2020.
