Results for the 3 and 9 Month Periods Ended 30 September 2012

 

Xcite Energy announces its results for the 3 and 9 month periods ended 30 September 2012.

 

Operational Highlights

 

·; Bentley pre-production well test successfully and safely concluded in September 2012, with initial well test results exceeding management expectations:

 

·; Water breakthrough better than expected (i.e. less water produced)

·; Extensive data gathered for reservoir model calibration and production facilities design, enabling optimisation of field development plan

·; Significantly improved understanding of oil, gas and water movement behaviour

·; Produced approximately 149,000 barrels of Bentley crude, which was combined with approximately 58,000 barrels of diluent.

 

·; 9/3b-7 and 7Z wells suspended for future use as production wells during Phase 1B and the Rowan Norway demobilised from the field, with all associated equipment off hire.

 

Financial Highlights

 

·; Revenue generated of £13.3 million from the sale of the blended crude oil and diluent.

 

·; Net loss in the three month period of £0.57 million. Further increase in net assets through continued investment in the Bentley field development programme.

 

·; Cash of £54.6 million as at 30 September 2012, following net new equity capital and debt financing of £21.2 million in the three month period. Included in cash balances are amounts held in escrow of £44.0 million relating to the Bentley Phase 1A work programme, a significant amount of which is expected to be returned to the Company in due course.

 

·; Issue of an additional US$10 million of unsecured 14% loan notes to West Face Capital Inc. in the three month period, giving a total of US$60 million in the nine month period.

 

·; Signing of a US$155 million reserves based lending facility in June with a leading syndicate of lending institutions to provide a substantial part of the Phase 1B work programme funding requirement.

 

Post Period Event

 

UK Department of Energy and Climate Change has offered the Company licenses over Blocks 9/4 (part), 9/8b and 9/9f (split) as applied for in the UK 27th Offshore Licensing Round. These licences could add significant additional value to a Bentley hub development concept.

 

Significant Work Ahead

 

The Phase 1A programme was a highly successful, extensive and thorough pre-production well test, which has provided substantial quantities of valuable data. The Company's immediate priority is to continue to analyse this information in order to update the reservoir model and production profiles, which, together with the inclusion of recently acquired new 3D seismic data over the Bentley field and its surrounding prospects (including 27th Round licences), will form part of the updated reserves report (a Competent Person's Report) and the RBL banks review process, expected early in 2013.

 

This data and analysis thereof will also be utilised in a data room in due course for the intended farm-out discussions, with the intention of commencing the initial engagement process by the end of the year.

 

2013 is therefore expected to be an important year for Xcite Energy, with an updated Competent Persons Report, discussions with potential farm-in partners, the re-submission of the updated Field Development Plan to DECC and the initiation of the Phase 1B work programme, the planning for which is well underway. The Company looks forward to updating investors on these important events.

 

The following tables summarise the Group's financial performance in the 3 and 9 months ended 30 September 2012 and the comparatives for the 3 and 9 months ended 30 September 2011.
