Maha Energy publishes a supplement to the prospectus

The Board of Directors of Maha Energy AB (publ) (“Maha” or “the Company”) has prepared a supplement to the prospectus regarding the list change from Nasdaq First North Growth Market to Nasdaq Stockholm's main list which was approved by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority ("SFSA") (Sw. Finansinspektionen) on 11 December 2020 and published by the Company on the same date.

The Supplement has been prepared due to the press release by the Company on 14 December 2020 available on the Company’s website (www.mahaenergy.ca) where the Company announced that the Well Test Results of Tartaruga well “Maha-1” indicate a lower than expected oil production rate which, in combination with delays caused by the second wave of Covid-19, means that the Company now expects the 2020 annual average production volume to land at 3,250 barrels of oil per day (a reduction from the previous estimates of 3,700 – 4,000 barrels per day). The Company also expect these factors to affect the year-end exit production numbers and the previous estimates thereof. The supplement has been prepared in accordance with Article 23 of the Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council (the "Prospectus Regulation") and has today, 15 December 2020, been approved by the SFSA and published on the Company's website. The supplementary prospectus forms a part of the prospectus and shall in all respects be read together with the prospectus. The prospectus and the supplementary prospectus are available on the Company's website (www.mahaenergy.ca). For information on the admission of trading of shares on Nasdaq Stockholm, please see the prospectus.

Maha Energy offentliggör tilläggsprospekt

Styrelsen i Maha Energy AB (publ) (”Maha” eller ”Bolaget”) har upprättat ett tillägg till det prospekt som upprättats med anledning av listbytet från Nasdaq First North Growth Market till Nasdaq Stockholm som godkändes av Finansinspektionen den 11 december 2020 och offentliggjordes av Bolaget samma dag.

Tilläggsprospektet har upprättats med anledning av det offentliggörande som gjordes av Bolaget den 14 december 2020 och som finns tillgängligt på Bolagets webbplats (www.mahaenergy.ca) där Bolaget offentliggjorde att testningen av Tartarugabrunnen ”Maha-1” indikerar en oljeproduktionstakt som är lägre än väntat och som, i kombination med förseningar orsakade av den andra vågen av Covid-19, medför att Bolaget nu förväntar sig en snittproduktion för 2020 om 3 250 fat olja per dag (vilket är en minskning från tidigare uppskattning om 3 700-4 000 fat per dag). Dessa faktorer förväntas även påverka den dagliga produktionsnivå som Maha avslutar 2020 på, och tidigare uppskattningar härav. Tilläggsprospektet har upprättats i enlighet med artikel 23 i Europaparlamentets och rådets förordning (EU) 2017/1129 ("Prospektförordningen") och har idag den 15 december 2020 godkänts av Finansinspektionen och offentliggjorts på Bolagets hemsida. Tilläggsprospektet är en del av prospektet och ska i alla avseenden läsas tillsammans med prospektet. Prospektet och tilläggsprospektet finns tillgängliga på Bolagets hemsida (www.mahaenergy.ca). För information om upptagandet till handel på Nasdaq Stockholm hänvisas till prospektet.

Maha Energy AB (publ) (“Maha” or the “Company”) Announce Tartaruga Well Test Results and 2020 Production Guidance Update

The testing of the Tartaruga well “Maha-1” is now complete.  Although primarily a delineation well, the well test results indicate a lower than expected oil production rate. Furthermore, the second wave of Covid-19 continue to directly impact logistics and personnel movements in Brazil, that in turn are causing delays in the Company’s fourth quarter Brazilian well completions programme. Therefore, the Company expects the 2020 annual average production volume to land at 3,250 BOEPD (previously communicated 3,700 – 4,000 BOEPD). The Company also expect that the previously communicated year-end exit production numbers will be affected due to the combined effects of the above reasons.

Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha Energy commented: ”The Maha-1 well was drilled to further delineate the Tartaruga structure and although we have proven oil in a new part of the structure, the effect of lower than expected permeability in this part of the field is disappointing. We will now have to integrate this information into the field model to determine how we can use this data to better place future production wells. The lower than expected production rates, combined with the operational delays in Brazil will unfortunately have a direct impact on the annual average production volumes. Until the well completions work at the Tie field is finished, we are unable to provide an update for the year-end production rates.”

7-TTG-3D-SES (Maha-1) Well Test Results
A total of four different sands were tested in the well. Two sands (P23/22) were tight and failed to flow any fluids, one sand (P19) flowed non-commercial amounts of oil and the P1 is being rerouted to the Production Facilities to undergo further testing.

The P1 sand is flowing oil with a unexpectedly high percentage of water, which is appears to be slowly declining. The Schlumberger test skid is now being demobilized and the well will be placed on long term test through the Maha facilities. Due to the high water cut, testing of the P1 took longer than anticipated and that in turn has impacted Tartaruga production negatively.

The 7-TTG-3D-SES well was spudded on July 12, 2019 and total depth reached on October 3, 2019. A smaller workover rig was brought in to test up to five intervals in the well.  Testing started on 26 January 2020 and was temporarily suspended on 22 March, 2020 due to effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Testing resumed on 26 October 2020 and has now been completed.

A total of four intervals were tested, and the results are as follows:

Interval           Depth (m)                                 Result                                                                                                                     
Penedo-23     3,494 – 3,495                             No flow – formation tight
Penedo-22     3,477 – 3,479                             No flow – formation tight
Penedo-19     3,376 – 3,393                             Minor oil and gas (< 50 BOPD)
Penedo-1       2,908.5 – 2,918.5                       Oil and Water (~ 140 BFPD) with high water cut

The well was drilled in a different part of the structure to further delineate the Tartaruga structure and preliminary interpretation is that the area now tested, although oil bearing, suffers from lower permeability than expected.  The Tartaruga structure was discovered in 1994 by Petrobras and has produced over one million barrels of oil from two producing wells, both completed in the P1 and P6 sandstones.  The structure is heavily faulted, and each fault compartment may be charged differently and have different reservoir rock properties. The sands are continuous across the delineated area and exhibit similar porosities, however, there are permeability differences across the field. 

Work will now focus on understanding which areas of the structure is commercially productive before further capital is deployed to the Tartaruga field.

Operational update

GTE-4

The workover to restore the Agua Grande (AG) zone to production in this well continues.  The workover has been problematic and the lost production from this zone has impacted the total production volumes for the year.  Once the workover is completed, this well is expected to contribute positively to the 2021 production numbers.  During the workovers the Sergi production has been shut in.  The loss of production from GTE-4 during 2020 is one of the main reasons for the lower 2020 average production numbers.

Tie-1
The Tie-1 well was shut in temporarily in October to allow for new flowlines to be hooked up and tested.  When the well was brought back on stream, the AG did not reach pre shut-in production volumes.  A workover rig was brought in to restore production, and the well was put back on pump on November 23rd. To date the AG zone is cleaning up as expected.

Tie-2
This new well was completed and rig released December 6th. The drilling rig is currently 90% moved off the Tie-2 well and once clear of the well, Tie 2 will be tested and hooked up to the permanent production facilities.  Due to Covid-19, it was decided to delay the spud of this well by 6 months, which in turn has impacted the Company’s yearly average production numbers negatively.

Tie-3
The drilling rig is now being moved to this new well to be drilled on the same pad as Tie-2 and it is expected that this well will spud very soon.

Illinois Basin
Three new wells have been completed in the Illinois Basin during the fourth quarter.  All three wells are at various stages of clean up, and once fully cleaned up these wells will add approximately 100 – 130 BOPD of additional production.

Maha Energy AB (publ) Announce November Production Volumes

The Company's aggregate sales production for the month of November totaled 58,8911 barrels of oil and 28.369 million scf of gas for a combined average production of approximately 2,121 BOE/day2, before royalties and taxes. Production was significantly reduced down during the month due to; several wells being serviced, operational delays at Tie-2 (new well) and testing operations at Tartaruga.

Tie Field
During the month of November, the dual GTE-4 oil producing well was shut in due to workover operations to restore production from the Agua Grande (AG) zone. This work is nearing completion and the GTE-4 well is expected to resume production from both zones (Sergi and AG) in December. The Tie-1 AG zone is now back on production on artificial lift after the AG temporarily stopped free-flowing. The new well, Tie-2, is nearing completion and will be hooked up to the production facility imminently once the drilling rig has been moved out.

Tartaruga Field
Due to testing operations on the 7-TTG-3D-SES (Maha-1) well during the month of November, the 107D well was shut in for 15 days.

IB Field
Several wells were shut in during the month due to stimulation work at the Walgrove site.

Maha Energy AB (publ) (“Maha” or the “Company”) announce Total Depth (TD) reached on Tie South (7-TIE-2D-BA) and logging results.

The Company is pleased to provide the following Operational Update from its operations in Brazil.

Tie-2 (Tie Field)

The Tie-2 development well (7-TIE-2D-BA) reached a Total Depth of 2,195 m. on November 21.  Both productive target formations were intersected. Electric logging has been completed and the well is now being prepared for production.

Electric logging and drilling results confirmed the productive Agua Grande (AG) and Sergi formations are likely to be oil bearing. Indications are that both productive formations are above the Oil Water Contact and Tie-2 marks a new structural high in the Tie field with the top of its AG reservoir being 2 metres higher than the TIE-1 well (Attic well). 
The AG yielded 23 m. gross reservoir sand with an interpreted net productive thickness of 13 m.  The Sergi yielded 17 m. gross reservoir sand with a net productive thickness of 7 m.

Operations are now underway to complete the AG and Sergi formations and place 7-TIE-2D-BA on production.

Maha Energy Receive Royal Decree for Block 70 and reserve and contingent resource booking for Block 70 Mafraq Field

Maha Energy Receive Royal Decree for Block 70 and reserve and contingent resource booking for Block 70 Mafraq Field

Maha Energy AB (publ) (“Maha” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Royal Decree for Block 70 in Oman has been granted by His Majesty Haitham bin Tarik Al Said. The Royal Decree signals the beginning of the earlier signed and announced Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement (EPSA) for Block 70 covering an initial exploration period of three years with an optional extension period of another three years. In case of a commercial oil or gas discovery, the EPSA can be transformed into a fifteen-year production license which can be extended for another five years.  Consideration for Block 70 is US$ 10 million and is payable within 30 days of the Royal Decree.  Block 70 contains the discovered and undeveloped Mafraq heavy oil field.  The 13° API oil has been produced from two separate wells using conventional pumps and without the use of steam.

Jonas Lindvall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Maha, comments: “The entry into Oman marks a milestone for the Company’s diversification strategy.  The Company is now firmly rooted in three jurisdictions with solid underlying oil assets on which to further grow our business.”

Under the EPSA, Maha acquires commercial rights to produce and sell any hydrocarbons discovered. As such, and in line with extensive work already undertaken on Block 70, the Maha third party reserve auditor Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd in Calgary, Canada, has assigned the following reserves and contingent resources to the Mafraq field as of 1 August, 2020:

Reserves1 Million bbls Contingent Resource2 Million bbls
1P 0.253 1C 18.880
2P 0.975 2C 22.289
3P 2.044 3C 26.499

About Block 70 and the Mafraq Field
Block 70 is an onshore block that includes the shallow undeveloped Mafraq oil field. The Mafraq oil field was discovered by Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) in 1988 and was further delineated by four wells and 3D seismic in stages until 2010. Two wells were placed on pump production tests, of which one was placed on a 22-day test and produced a stable and cumulative volume of over 15,700 barrels of oil before operations were suspended. The Mafraq oil field is estimated by third parties to contain between 185 – 280 million barrels of original oil in place (OOIP). The productive reservoir is shallow, at approximately 430 m. below ground level.

1About Reserves
Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on: analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical, and engineering data, the use of established technology, and specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable, and shall be disclosed.

Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates.

Proved (P) reserves (P90) are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves (P).

Probable reserves (P50) are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved + probable reserves (2P).

Possible reserves (P10) are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of the estimated proved + probable + possible reserves (3P).

2 Contingent Resources
Contingent Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development (TUD), but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies.

Contingent Resources are further categorized in accordance with the level of certainty associated with the estimates and may be sub-classified based on project maturity and/or characterized by their economic status.

Contingencies may include economic, environmental, social and political factors, regulatory matters, a lack of markets or prolonged timetable for development. Contingent Resources have a Chance of Development that is less than certain.

Contingent Resources are further categorized according to their level of certainty associated with the estimates and may be sub-classified based on project maturity and/or characterized by their economic status.

Project Maturity Sub-Classes are: Development Pending, Development on Hold, Development Unclarified and Development Not Viable.

Reports on Contingent Resources must specify the level of maturity and usually include the cumulative cases of 1C, 2C and 3C estimates, or if specified separately as incremental categories of C1, C2 and C3.

There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the Contingent Resources.

According to Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd, and with respect to the oil accumulation at the Mafraq Field:
“Contingent Resources are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to two contingencies. The Contingencies for this project include:
1) Currently unverified economics in the Pilot Project that affects the Development Plan
2) Acceptance by the Government of Oman of a "Declaration of Commerciality" and approval of a field development plan.”
