Maha Energy AB (publ) Announce May Production Volumes

Production Volumes

The Company's aggregate sales production for the month of May totaled 106,248¹ barrels of oil and 52.765 million scf of gas for a combined average production of approximately 3,711 BOE/day², before royalties and taxes.

The month of May saw increasing gas sales at Tie as a new gas end-user started taking deliveries allowing for higher oil production.  Further at both Tie and Tartaruga stations, oil production was somewhat affected due to temporary surface jet pump maintenance issues which were resolved during the month.  Despite the pump issues and continuing Covid-19 movement restrictions, production and off-take volumes in Brazil remain stable.

¹   Subject to minor standard industry adjustments at the time of custody transfer.
²   Barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") conversion ratio of 6,000 scf: 1 bbl is used.

Updated production guidance and capital plan for 2020 due to effects from Covid-19

Due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic currently sweeping across Brazil, Maha Energy AB (publ) has reduced its’ average annual production guidance from 5,000 – 5,500 BOEPD to 4,000 – 5,000 BOEPD.

“The Covid-19 pandemic is now taking a toll on our operations.  The domino effect of border closures, deliveries of vital equipment and services and lower end user gas demand, to name a few, has required us to revise our 2020 production guidance.  These factors, which are outside our control, have indirectly led to an unforeseen reduction in oil production.  At this time, we continue to be uncertain on the future impact of Covid-19 to our production volumes, but like most companies we are working hard to offset the reduction in production volumes with a corresponding reduction in expenditures.  At current oil prices, the Company’s financial condition is robust and we expect to continue to fulfill all our future financial obligations, including the full repayment of the SEK 300 million bond next year, despite the production guidance reduction” stated Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha Energy AB.

Natural gas is a by-product of the produced oil, and if the gas cannot be disposed of, the oil production must be curtailed accordingly.  The Brazilian Government has granted a temporary flaring easement to ensure continuous oil production during the Covid-19 pandemic, which is reducing the impact of the curtailment.  And even though the Tie oil processing plant is capable of handling oil and gas mixtures of up to 4,850 BOPD, the plant is not designed to flare 100% of the liberated gas on a continuous basis.

As a result of the annual average production guidance revision, the Company continues to revise and optimize its’ 2020 Capital Plan.  The previously announced reduction in the Capital Plan for 2020 has now been amended to include rephasing of the Tie wells (TS-1 & TS-2) and the inclusion of a new Compression Project at Tie along with some work on the newly acquired Illinois Basin assets.  Total capital expenditures for 2020 is now estimated at USD 15.5 million, down 25% from the original USD 20.7 million. 

Maha Energy’s assets are low cost, low risk producing assets, and at current oil prices ($32 – $36 per barrel), the Company estimates consolidated annual average OPEX to be +/- US$ 4.95 – US$ 5.65 per BOE.

           
CAPEX (Capital Plan)

Tie Field
-TS-1 & TS-2: These two Tie field development wells, originally scheduled for Q2/Q3 this year, will now be drilled towards the end of Q4, and TS-2 (water injector) may slip into 2021.

-Tie Compression Project (new): the addition of two (2) 1,380 HP Ariel Compressors at the Tie field to provide ‘spill over’ gas reinjection capabilities have now been added to the capital plan for 2020.

Tartaruga Field
-Maha-2: This contingent follow-up well to Maha-1 on Tartaruga has been rescheduled for 2021.

-Maha-1: The completion of the testing of this well at Tartaruga has been rescheduled for 2021. 
           
-Tartaruga expansion: With the postponement of completing Maha-1, the Tartaruga expansion project will continue, but at a slower pace. Oil production from Maha-1 (above) is needed in order to achieve the planned 2,500 BOPD capacity production at Tartaruga.

Illinois Basin (IB)
Contractual commitments may require the Company to drill one well and to complete a drilled but uncompleted well on the IB asset.  This activity is scheduled for Q3 and Q4 this year. Other 2020 commitments have been successfully rescheduled to 2021. 

OPERATIONAL UPDATE
Tie Field

New Wells TS-1 & TS-2
Location work is all but complete, a drilling rig has been identified and will be contracted in due course, but the drilling of these two wells has been pushed back to Q4 this year.  The delay in drilling and completing these wells will not affect field production at the Tie field.

GTE-4
GTE-4 was worked over and dually completed in April.  GTE-4 is now on pump and is being flow tested.

Gas Compression
Two (2) 1,380 HP (each) gas compressors have been leased by Enerflex Inc to provide gas reinjection for unsold gas at the Tie field.  Any associated gas that cannot be sold will be reinjected to provide pressure support to the reservoir and redundancy to the production operations.  The compressors will take any ‘spill over’ gas that cannot be sold downstream and reinject it to ensure that oil production can continue uninterrupted.  The gas compressors are expected to be commissioned at the end of Q3.

Tartaruga

Maha-1
The testing of Maha-1 was suspended in March due to the indirect effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic.  As Brazil started to lock down, it became more and more difficult to move goods and services to and from Tartaruga.  A key item required for the testing and stimulation for Maha-1 was perforating explosives, which became impossible to move in a timely fashion.  As a result, it was decided to suspend testing operations at Tartaruga.  Testing operations will resume as soon as services resume as normal in Brazil. 

Tartaruga Facilities
The current oil handling facilities at Tartaruga can handle up to 800 BOPD.  Work is underway to expand these facilities to handle up to 2,500 BOPD.  Equipment has been identified and purchased.  However, the 2,500 BOPD handling capacity at Tartaruga is not expected to be required until Maha-1 is brought on stream.  A temporary oil handling system will be leased to ensure sufficient handling capacity at Tartaruga whilst the Facility upgrades are being finished. 

Webcast Question & Answers Session

The Company will present its Q1 Report on Tuesday 26 May at 6 PM CET.  During this presentation, Jonas Lindvall, the CEO of Maha Energy AB, will provide a full Company operational update, comment on the production guidance revision and be available to take questions. A link to the webcast is available on the Company’s website: www.mahaenergy.ca.  Interested parties are encouraged to e-mail questions ahead of time to victoria@mahaenergy.ca.  Questions posed on the day of the presentation should be done directly in the YouTube Comments/Questions field.

Maha Energy AB (publ) Announce April Production Volumes

Production Volumes

The Company's aggregate sales production for the month of April totaled 90,664¹ barrels of oil and 2.250 million scf of gas for a combined average production of approximately 3,035 BOE/day², before royalties and taxes.

The month of April saw unusually low gas sales at the Tie field which was due to the suspension of gas offtake by CDGN, the Company’s main gas customer.  As a result of the indirect effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, CDGN’s end customers are currently closed due to weak product demand and Covid-19 restrictions. This in turn resulted in a temporary reduction in oil production from the Tie field during the month.

The company is working at many levels to maximize oil production despite the current low gas offtake at the Tie field. A temporary easing in flaring restrictions have been received for the Tie and Tartaruga fields and CDGN have commenced trial gas deliveries to a new gas consumer at the Tie field.  If successful, this may result in increased gas offtake requirements from the Tie field whilst the regular CDGN customers are shut in due to Covid-19 effects.

The Company's aggregate sales production for the month of March totaled 97,131¹ barrels of oil and 40.283 million scf of gas for a combined average production of approximately 3,350 BOE/day², before royalties and taxes.

Gas deliveries to CDGN were curtailed during the month of March due to a prolonged maintenance issue at one of the end gas customers, and a total shut down of a second end customer due to the COVID-19 closure of a municipal border during the second half of March.

The GTE-4 well at the Tie field was shut in as planned during the second half of March to carry out conversion to artificial lift.

Both events contributed to reduced production during the month of March.

MAHA ENERGY AB ANNOUNCES THE ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN ONSHORE PRODUCING PROPERTIES IN THE ILLINOIS BASIN, USA.

Maha Energy AB (“Maha”) (NASDAQ OMX First North: MAHA A) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary Maha Energy (US) Inc (“Maha US”) has entered into an agreement to acquire certain oil producing assets in the Illinois Basin, USA, through the purchase of all outstanding shares in Dome AB Inc., a Texas corporation (“Dome AB”), from Dome Energy AB (publ) (the “Seller”). The purchase price amounts to a cash consideration of US$ 4.0 million adjusted in respect to any working capital in Dome AB at the time of the closing of the transaction, and the assumption of US$ 0.25 million in current liabilities, and the possibility of an additional contingent consideration if certain production and oil price milestones are met, as detailed below.

The acquisition of the Illinois Basin assets strengthens Maha’s production capabilities in the United States, with the addition of a total of 3374.44 net acres of oil and gas leases. The total amount of production of the Illinois Basin assets is currently, as of 1 March 2020, 160 barrels of oil per day and the net debt of the acquired company is zero.

“The acquisition is in line with Maha's strategy to grow through acquisitions when there is significant potential to create added value for our shareholders. With our strong cash position, we have the opportunity to act in these turbulent times and we are now able to increase our presence in North America and to continue our diversification strategy.” stated Anders Ehrenblad, Chairman of the board of directors of Maha.

Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha Energy said: “These light oil (35° API) producing assets are low risk, shallow and solid performing assets. Modern technology coupled with shallow multiple independent oil reservoirs squarely place these assets in the low risk production area of our 40:40:20¹ portfolio pyramid. The property has sufficient upside to allow for significant production increase. And even though we are reducing our capital spend in Brazil, our strong cash position allows us to pounce on accretive transactions like this without jeopardizing our 2020 production guidance.”  

A future contingent additional payment to the purchase price will be made if certain oil price and production level milestones are met before 2023. Maha and its subsidiaries are under no obligation to reach the production level set out in the Production Milestone.

About the Illinois Basin assets
Maha is purchasing approximately 160 BOPD of Dome AB oil production as at 1 March, 2020. There are approximately 140 BOPD currently ‘behind pipe’, including one Drilled but Uncompleted (DUC) well, that Maha will place into production as soon as the oil market recovers. Furthermore, there are a total of 31 proven but undrilled locations, 19 probable undrilled locations and 48 possible undrilled locations on the purchased lease area. According to an independent Third Party reserve report² dated 1 January, 2020, the Dome AB Inc. reserves are as follow²:

¹ 40:40:20 asset portfolio pyramid assumes, 40% low risk producing assets, 40% development and appraisal assets, and 20% near field exploration assets.
² Reserve Report completed by Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Texas (license 50970) Mr. Amiel David, PeTech Enterprises, Inc. 5707 Spanish Oak, Houston, TX 77066 USA.  Reserve Report is based on a WTI US$ 57/bbl flat for the year 2020.  Monetary values are expressed as Net Present Values discounted at 10%.

The Illinois basin is one of the oldest oil producing basins in N. America having produced over 4 billion barrels of oil to date.  Oil was initially discovered by accident in 1853 according to historical records and oil is found in multiple shallow Dolomite and sandstone reservoirs.  Most producers in the area produce oil from 3 separate reservoirs that act independent of each other.  This is a conventional oil play that requires low cost drilling and stimulation operations. Maha will be able to use legacy tax pools from its other operations in the USA.  During 2019, Dome Energy AB Inc produced a total of 64,000 barrels of oil at a netback of approximately US$ 31/bbl. Realized price is WTI minus US$ 3/bbl.

With reference to Kvalitena AB’s (the main shareholder of Maha Energy) holding of shares in Dome AB (publ) (approximately 15% per 13 January 2020) and his possible conflicts of interest thereof, Harald Pousette (Former CFO of Kvalitena AB and CEO of Kvalitena Industrier AB) has recused himself and not participated in any of the Board of Directors’ decisions nor preparations thereof in connection with the transaction.

Maha Energy AB ("Maha" or the "Company") today announced revisions to its 2020 capital program in response to recent commodity price volatility. All dollar amounts are in United States ("US") dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Jonas Lindvall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Maha, comments: "As a result of current and foreseeable oil price weakness, we are reducing operating activities and our capital program for 2020. We plan to continue operating at reduced activity levels until there are clear signs of a recovery in oil prices. Despite this planned reduction in capital investment, the 2020 production guidance will not be affected.”

Revised 2020 Capital Program
The 2020 capital budget is revised to a maintenance range of US$ 8 to 12 million and further reductions in operating costs are being implemented. In addition to reducing the costs, Maha is also benefiting from the recent depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar. The Brazilian Real has declined 25% versus the US dollar from the original budget estimate. The majority of the operating costs and G&A within Brazil are denominated in Brazilian Reals.

Jonas Lindvall continues: “We are always focused on value. To that end, our team rigorously assess project economics and will not deploy capital if commodity prices do not support sufficient returns.  Maha owns and operates producing assets with low declines and low cost structures (OPEX costs in the US$ 5/bbl range), and both the Tartaruga and Tie field will be instrumental in the continued success of Maha.”

The contingent Maha-2 well at Tartaruga will now be postponed until 2021. This will reduce the 2020 capital budget by some US$ 8.3 million. A further possible, but unlikely, future reduction is the Tie-2 water injection well (US$ 4.8 million) at the Tie field. These two projects will have no impact on the 2020 production guidance. The Company will continually assess the current market conditions before a final decision is made on a potential postponement of this well.

Operational Update
Tartaruga
The Company has elected to suspend testing of Maha-1 on Tartaruga for several reasons:

(a) it is becoming increasingly difficult to move specialized stimulation equipment, including explosives, in and out of the Tartaruga location due to reduced Government administrative personnel activity because of the effect of the Coronavirus,
(b) the remaining testing operations cover previously tested and hydrocarbon bearing zones that will become ‘trapped’ behind pipe due to the current Tartaruga Facility +/- 800 BOPD handling limit,
(c) it allows the Company to utilize capital more effectively elsewhere in the organization in response to the low oil prices.

The higher than expected oil rates from the 107D well, which tested at a surface restricted rate of 939 BOPD in February, will more than adequately fill the current production handling capacity at the Tartaruga Facility of approximately 800 BOPD. The Tartaruga facility is currently undergoing an expansion program whereby the facility is upgraded to handle up to 2500 BOPD and 2500 MSCFPD of associated gas. While important subsurface information would be gathered from the well test, little is gained by completing the Maha-1 testing program until such time the Tartaruga Facility is able to handle volumes greater than 800 BOPD.

Tie Field
Despite this planned reduction in capital investment, the Company remain focused on the continued production development of the Tie oil field.

GTE-4
A workover of the GTE-4 well has commenced and is forecasted to be completed before the end of March. GTE-4 was a dually completed free flowing well that has now reached the normal point of needing artificial lift for flow optimization. This well will now be turned into a pumping well and production is expected to resume to above previous production volumes.

Tie South-1 (“TS-1”) and Tie South-2 (“TS-2”)
Final environmental approvals were obtained in February for these two wells. Planning is far advanced, and location preparation work is expected to start in early April. A drilling rig has been located and is currently being contracted. All tangible equipment for these wells has already been purchased. Each well is anticipated to take 40 – 45 days to drill and complete. TS-1 is a near vertical dual producer whilst the TS-2 is planned to be a dual water injector.

Maha will continue with regulatory, planning and land access activities on key future growth projects at the Tie field which have a minimal cost but can take a significant period of time to complete.

Scheduled Question and Answer (“Q&A”) Session with CEO Jonas Lindvall
In response to a number of questions surrounding the current low oil prices, Nyhetsbyrån Direkt in association with Laika Consulting will hold a Q&A session with Maha CEO Jonas Lindvall on Monday 23 March at 18:00 CET on Direct’s Youtube channel https://youtu.be/aUmhGzAq4yE.

Maha Energy AB (publ) – Comments on current market conditions

Maha maintains a very close eye on the current market conditions. Using up-to-date production information, pricing and spending limits, the Company monitors the financial well-being of the company very closely. As of today, the company has determined that all future financial obligations can be met, including full repayment of the bond in May 2021, given the current oil market conditions. Furthermore, and if necessary, the company has many operational options at its disposal to address a prolonged depressed oil price.

Maha has already taken steps to reduce operating expenses. For example, at the end of March, operations at the LAK Ranch oil field will be suspended until further notice.  The ‘pre-development’ LAK Ranch heavy oil field is uneconomic at the current oil prices. 

CEO Jonas Lindvall comments: “During these turbulent times we are acting at all levels to safeguard the health of our employees and to ensure that the production and testing operations continue without interruption. Naturally many circumstances are outside our control, but we are doing everything within our power to ensure a safe working environment for our employees and subcontractors so that we minimize impact to our operations.”

Maha is implementing a three-pronged approach to the threat of the virus:

1. Health and safety of our workers and subcontractors. Monitoring the health of all employees, minimizing travel, avoiding attending large meetings, educating and encouraging personal hygiene, ensuring more frequent sanitizing at all Maha facilities, avoiding public transport and promoting general well-being.
2. Monitoring the performance of subcontractors. The Operations team are in close contact with subcontractors promoting similar steps to that which Maha is implementing.
3. Stress testing the financial well-being of the Company. The Management Team run an economic model which is updated bi-weekly and continuously stress tested using current production rates and oil prices. 

“We appreciate the support of our shareholders and understand that there are many questions about the Company and the operations, especially now. However, as a publicly listed company, there are strict regulations that govern communication that make it difficult to answer individual specific questions. We will therefore continue to communicate with our shareholders via the conventional channels of press releases and interim reports. We will also address questions from shareholders at specific occasions, primarily in connection with each quarterly report. Our analyst coverage also provides an excellent source of information to those who may wish to examine our production and financial metrics closer.  I encourage interested investors to use this readily available information in order to help us ensure that all shareholders receive the same information simultaneously”, says CEO Jonas Lindvall.

Maha Energy AB (publ) Announce February Production Volumes

Production Volumes

The Company's aggregate sales production for the month of February totaled 79,186¹ barrels of oil and 59.435 million scf of gas for a combined average production of approximately 3,072 BOE/day², before royalties and taxes.

Oil deliveries from the Tie field were affected due to striking workers at the Petrobras delivery stations between 3 February and 19 February (inclusive).  This led to reduced production from the Tie Field during the affected period.  Furthermore, gas deliveries to CDGN were curtailed at the end of the month due to scheduled maintenance at one of the end customers with full deliveries slated to commence again on March 5th.

No deliveries were made from the Tartaruga Field for six days at the beginning of February due to 107D well testing work.

The Petrobras strike ended on February 20 and both receiving stations are back to full operations.  Tartaruga is also back to normal production capacity.

^{1   Subject to minor standard industry adjustments at the time of custody transfer.
2   Barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") conversion ratio of 6,000 scf: 1 bbl is used.}

Press release

February 9, 2020

Maha Energy announce positive 107D well test results

107D (Tartaruga)
The well test on 107D is now complete and Maha is pleased to report the following (gross volume) results:

On Free Flow
Oil Rate: 626 BOPD
Gas Rate: 227 MSCFPD
Water/Emulsion: 177 BPD

On Pump (reduced power)*
Oil Rate: 939 BOPD
Gas Rate: 343 MSCFPD
Water/Emulsion: 304 BPD

During the 20-day test period, which was split between free flowing and pumping operations, a steady trend of increasing oil and gas volumes were recorded. During the same period, the water and oil emulsion percentage was steadily reducing.

Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha commented: “The results from the 107D well test is above our expectations. Prior to the horizontal sidetrack, the 107D well was unable to flow naturally. The fact that it free flows to surface at the combined rate of 803 BFPD is very encouraging. The race is now on to increase the oil and gas handling capacity of the Tartaruga processing facility.”

*During jet pumping operations, the jet pump was restricted because the surface handling facilities reached capacity with this better than expected result. 

Maha Energy holds a 75% working interest in the SES-107 Tartaruga oil and gas concession onshore Brazil and is the Operator. Petrobras holds the remaining 25%.

BOPD: Barrels of Oil Per Day
MSCFPD: Thousand Standard Cubic Feet Per Day
