The result reflected continued and stable high commercial uptime from the FPSO fleet, offset by the impact of the USD 10 million provision for outstanding payments for Umuroa and lower realised oil price from the lifting compared to second quarter.Gross production from Tortue averaged 11,600 bbls per day in the third quarter. The total gross production from the Tortue field was 1.07 million bbls of oil. One lifting was completed by the licence partners in the third quarter, yielding approximately net 591,000 bbls to BW Energy at a realised price of USD 61.3 per barrel. Production cost (excluding royalty) was USD 21 per barrel in the quarter.Drilling operations at Hibiscus in the Dussafu license proved a significant oil reservoir in the structure. In October, BW Offshore announced a revised Ruche development plan including the Hibiscus discovery which will accelerate production growth from Ruche phase 1 from an estimated 15,000 bbls/day to 30,000 bbls/day. These volumes will come in addition to the production from the Tortue field.The Company also received a reserve report from independent auditor Netherland, Sewell & Associates Inc. (NSAI) which assesses 2P gross Hibiscus reserves at 45.4 million barrels of oil, confirming management estimates. After adding the Hibiscus discovery, the 2P gross reserves at Dussafu have increased to 112.4 million barrels, a 68% increase compared to those reported at mid-year 2019. This increase is mainly related to the Hibiscus discovery, as well as better than expected production and recovery at Tortue.In November, BW Offshore successfully issued a USD 297.4 million senior unsecured convertible bond due 2024 as well as a NOK 900 million Nordic HY bond with maturity in 2023. These bond issues were done with the intent to refinance existing Nordic HY bonds, which addresses maturity on bonds and will add flexibility with regard to the company’s dividend policy.“We deliver on our strategic priorities with consistent high uptime on our FPSOs, steady production from the Tortue field and through value enhancing exploration and development activities in the Dussafu license. The Hibiscus discovery and revised development plan for Ruche phase 1 will accelerate our production growth and value creation,” said Marco Beenen, CEO of BW Offshore.Please see attachments for the full press release and presentation.
