Letter to Shareholders

Dear Friends and Fellow Shareholders of Maha Energy AB,

As usual the summer passed too quickly!  Here at Maha we spent the summer months ramping up production and working toward achieving our 4,850 BOPD production goal at the Tie field. In order to reach that goal, three components must converge at the same time: (1) the combined well production capability on the field must exceed 4,850 BOPD, (2) the Tie Production Facility must be able to safely handle and separate the incoming oil, water and associated gas from the wells, and, (3) there need to be somewhere to take (sell) the finished product.  To complicate matters, the Tie field is not connected to a pipeline system, the sales agreements need to cater for both oil and gas production. And since both products are co-dependent (oil and gas volumes are proportionally linked) it makes for many moving pieces that must come together, as is detailed below.

Well Productivity (Tie Field) – now at over 6,000 BOPD
During this reporting period, the Attic Well (7-Tie-1D-BA) was completed and brought on production.  Both the Agua Grande and Sergi zones were completed individually allowing for independent production of each zone. The GTE-3 well was also recompleted from a co-mingled producer to a dual producer, also providing for individual zonal production. This completes the 2018/19 work program for well deliverability on the Tie field. The total combined production from the wells in the Field currently exceeds 6,000 BOPD and the field can be optimized to selectively produce the optimum mix of oil and gas.

Facility Handling Capacity (Tie Field) – now at 5,000 BOPD
By the end of 2018, temporary modifications to the Processing Facility at the Tie field were completed to allow for handling up to 5,000 BOPD of oil and associated gas. During the first half of 2019 the temporary modifications were permanently installed and commissioned.  As of today, with only minor commissioning and testing items remaining, the Tie Processing Facility is capable of consistently gathering, separating, treating and storing up to 5,000 BOPD.  The associated gas is separated and sent for sales.

Offtake Agreements (Tie Field) – now at 4,850 BOPD and 80,000 m3/day of gas
Gas
When the Tie Field was purchased in July of 2017 it was producing about 1,300 BOPD from a single well. The oil rate was limited by how much gas could be sold.  At that time, if more gas could have been sold then more oil could have been produced.  Through a series of negotiations with two primary gas customers, Maha was quickly able to increase the gas offtake volumes. As of today, the Company has secured approximately 80,000 m3/day of gas sales to a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) customer and a Gas to Wire (GTW) customer. Additionally, +/- 6,000 m3/d is consumed internally by generators at the Processing Facility to provide electric power to the Tie Field operations. The target production of 4,850 BOPD currently generates production of approximately 86,000 m3 of gas per day – so with respect to gas, there are now sufficient arrangements in place to handle the target production rate.

Oil
With respect to oil, Maha has managed a very complicated picture. Tie oil will be trucked to two customers at three different terminals. The largest customer is a private refinery located very close to the Tie field. This refinery has progressively increased their demand for Tie oil; starting in late 2017 at 900 BOPD and now up to 2,200 BOPD. At the end of 2018, and in conjunction with refinery’s decision to double its’ processing capacity, Maha agreed with the refinery to increase deliveries to 3,000 BOPD by the middle of 2019. The refinery undertook a series of upgrades during the first half of 2019, with the last upgrade being completed in July 2019. The refinery is now awaiting final regulatory approvals to commence processing the expansion volumes which are expected by mid-September.  Thereafter, Maha should be able to consistently deliver 3,000 BOPD to the refinery.

Petrobras, the State Oil Company of Brazil, which owns most of the oil and gas infrastructure in Bahia is the Company’s second customer.  From first production of Tie field, Petrobras has been receiving 500 – 1,100 BOPD at a nearby pipeline pumping terminal and since 2017, Maha has been in discussions with Petrobras about increasing the deliveries into the regional pipeline system. In early 2019, and as a result of these discussions, Petrobras proposed an alternative plan to accept an additional 750 BOPD through a second pumping terminal it would upgrade. There is a new agreement in place with Petrobras for that volume. In June, a test delivery of Tie crude oil to the new Pumping terminal was undertaken with no issues. Petrobras now awaits regulatory approval to commence receiving oil from Maha there. 

So long as the planned gas customer facilities are commissioned on time, the Company should regularly be able to deliver 3,300 BOPD from the Tie field from now on. Once the refinery and Petrobras receive final regulatory approvals, the Company will commence trucking the additional 1,550 BOPD (800 + 750). It is estimated that by the end of September, the Company should regularly deliver 4,850 BOPD of Tie crude oil for sale.

Tartaruga
The Tartaruga field, is producing at the current maximum plant capacity of about 500 – 800 BOPD (gross).   The 7-TTG-3D-SES well was spudded on 12 July, 2019.  As at 1 August, the 13-3/8” casing had been set and cemented at 886 m. The objective of this well is to delineate and test certain untested intervals of the Penedo sand reservoir. Upon completion of the 7-TTG-3D-SES well, the 107D well will be re-entered, recompleted, cleaned out and brought on production. Whilst currently the Tartaruga facility is operating at capacity handling production from the 7TTG well, when certain facility upgrades are completed it is expected that the 107D well will immediately increase  production at Tartaruga; following which the 7-TTG-3D-SES well will be tied in and the permanent upgrade of the processing facility completed.

Production and Current Production Guidance
In our August 23rd 2019 Press Release I expressed my frustration that delays in normal course regulatory approvals/commissioning at our customers facilities caused the Company to revise downward its annual average production forecast. The frustration is that in all other respects we have made remarkable progress; we can produce more oil than we can sell, and as outlined above all the physical construction and upgrades are completed at the various required facilities. Our current production capacity in Brazil exceeds 6,500 BOPD while our current sales capabilities limits us to 3,900 BOPD of daily sales and production. Upon the above final approvals/commissioning the Company will be in a position to produce, deliver and sell 5,400 BOPD almost immediately.  This is an outstanding accomplishment that the revised forecast should not detract from.

I continue to be grateful to all Maha employees for their hard work and dedication that has made all this possible.

“Jonas Lindvall” Managing Director

Maha Energy AB (publ) (“Maha” or the “Company”) announces a revision to its 2019 Production Forecast, and update on Tie Field Production Commissioning

Press release
Stockholm
August 23, 2019

Maha Energy AB (publ) (“Maha” or the “Company”) announces a revision to its 2019 Production Forecast, and update on Tie Field Production Commissioning

Revised Production Forecast
On March 8, 2019 the Company provided its 2019 net annual average expected production estimate of 3,990 BOPD.    Despite successful well tests in Brazil which have demonstrated a combined Company well capability in excess of 6,500 BOPD, the cumulative effect of delays in drilling, facility commissioning and regulatory approvals for its customer offtake facilities has led the Company to revise its estimate downward. The Company now estimates net annual average production of between 3,660 BOPD (-9%) to 3,300 BOPD (-17%).

The revision is mainly explained by:

Tartaruga Field – the prolonged shut down of the field due to the 107D drilling and perforating operations delayed the resumption of production at the Tartaruga Field.  The field has only produced 4 of the last 8 months in 2019. These drilling delays also had the “knock on” effect of preventing the Company from bringing the 107D Well onto production during the third quarter as originally envisaged.

Tie Field – Delays in regulatory approvals have impacted production from the Tie Field during 2019.

  • Delayed regulatory approvals to commission the increased capacity at the local refinery delayed the anticipated July 800 BOPD delivery increase from 2,200 BOPD to 3,000 BOPD.
  • Delayed regulatory approvals for the Petrobras Comboata oil receiving station has delayed the expected July 750 BOPD delivery increase.
  • Delays in regulatory approvals and required electricity grid hook-ups from the State electricity utility has delayed the start up of the Gas to Wire (GTW) project which in turn has delayed increased oil production (because of gas flaring restrictions).

Had these approvals/commissioning occurred in July as originally envisioned, or even during the first weeks of August, the Company should have met its annual average production guidance target.  While (as announced) each of these normal course approvals are imminent – the Company is no longer confident that these approvals will now be in time to comfortably meet the 2019 Production Guidance Estimate. 

Tie Field Commissioning
All wells and production zones are now completed.  Production tests are now being undertaken to determine the gas-oil ratios of each zone in order to provide the Operators the ability to mix and match zones with oil and gas demand.  These tests are expected to be completed by the middle of September.  These tests do not impact production, but allows the Company to optimize oil and gas production.

The oil production is currently restricted due to two factors; (1) readiness of the refinery and Comboata to receive additional oil (1,550 BOPD total), and (2) the gas offtake of CDGN (the compressed gas customer) and GTW.

Subject to minor commissioning and debugging, CDGN is taking up to 60,000 m3/day of gas this week up from the previous average of 35,000 m3/day. 

GTW has mobilized 17 generators to the site.  13 of these units are now hooked up and are ready to run pending the State electricity utility final approval and commissioning which is imminent.  The remaining 4 are planned to be hooked up next week and will commence operating.  These generators have the capability to take up to 30,000 m3/day of gas. 

Jonas Lindvall commented “Naturally we are frustrated that the recent regulatory delays are now impacting our previously communicated production guidance – however the fundamentals are strong.  Our current production capacity well exceeds 6,500 BOPD; once these approvals are received, we can easily ship 5,400 BOPD at the turn of a few valves.” 

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

August 2, 2019

Maha Energy AB (publ) (“Maha” or the “Company”) July Production Volumes and Operational Update

Production Volumes

The Company's aggregate sales production for the month of July totaled 88,7641 barrels of oil and 36.925 million scf of gas for a combined average production of approximately 3,062 BOE/day2, before royalties and taxes.

The previously communicated customer refinery maintenance affected the production volumes during the month of July at the Tie field as did a few minor commissioning  shut downs  at the new plant facilities.  At Tartaruga, the 7TTG well produced continuously and work continued to optimize production from this well through the month.  The drilling of 7-TTG-3D-SES well is not impacting production there. 

Operational Update

GTE-3 (Tie Field)
During July, work was completed on the GTE-3 well with the notable result that all production wells at the Tie Field are now dually completed allowing for production optimization, production redundancy and reservoir/production balancing.

7-TTG-3D-SES (Tartaruga Field)
7-TTG-3D-SES well was spudded on 12 July.  As at 1 August, the 13-3/8” casing had been set and cemented at 886 m.  The objective of this well is to delineate and test certain intervals of the Penedo sand reservoir.  To date, only four (4) of the twenty-seven (27) sandstone intervals in the Penedo sandstone has been tested and only two (2) has been placed on production.  A comprehensive evaluation program is planned for the well in order to fully evaluate the reservoir potential of the Penedo sandstone. 

Tie Field Commercial Highlights

The Company is delighted to report the many and various pieces necessary to reach its previously announced production targets for the Tie field are now in place:

  • With the completion of the GTE-3 well, well deliverability at the Tie field is comfortably now in excess of 5,000 BOPD. 
     
  • The Tie processing facility is capable of handling up to 5,000 BOPD and associated gas. 
     
  • The Company is advised expansion of the local refinery by 800 bbl/d to allow it to take up to 3000 bbl/d of Tie crude oil is complete and awaits final commissioning and regulatory sign offs. These are currently expected in mid- September. All crude oils sales agreements for this customer are in place. This refinery currently takes up to 2200 bbl/d of Tie Field production.
     
  • Crude oil sales agreements are in place with Petrobras for deliveries to the existing truck receiving station for up to 1100 bbl/d of Tie crude and to a new truck receiving station 45 km from the Tie Field  (the “New Station”) to take up to 750 bbl/d.  The Company is advised necessary facility improvements at the New Station are complete and await final regulatory sign-off which is imminent.
     
  • The “gas to wire” generation facilities are now fully constructed and await final hook up with the utility that runs the Bahia state electricity grid which is imminent. Once connected, the Company will supply approximately 25% of its expected associated gas production under this gas sales contract.
     
  • The Company has amended its existing compressed gas sales contract to increase the minimum gas offtake to 60,000 m3/day representing 75% of the expected associated gas produced at Tie.  The Company is advised there is currently sufficient compression capacity for these volumes on site and that minor facility upgrades for the increased volumes should be completed in time for an August start up. Once the “gas to wire” and “compression” facilities are taking the full gas volumes, the Company will have sufficient associated gas takeaway to produce up to 4850 bbl/d of oil without flaring.  (Current Brazil state flaring restrictions would otherwise limit oil production).  

             

Once approvals are obtained for these new third-party facilities (as above) and they are successfully commissioned – all the pieces will snap into place to allow the Company achieve the forecasted production from the Tie Field of 4850 bbl/d.

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

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.

Maha Energy AB (publ) (“Maha” or the “Company”) June Production Volumes.

Production Volumes

The Company's aggregate sales production for the month of June totaled 81,2131 barrels of oil and 31.359 million scf of gas for a combined average production of approximately 2,881 BOE/day2, before royalties and taxes.

The Tartaruga Field began producing again on June 15 once the earlier communicated emulsion issues from the 107D well test were resolved.  At the Tie Field there were intermittent shutdowns for final hook up and commissioning of the 2018/19 expansion that affected June production volumes.

Total Brazil production on July 1st 2019 was 4,016 BOEPD.  It remains the expectation the Tie facilities will complete the planned ramp up of production to 4,850 BOPD (5,200 BOEPD) over the next few months and that Tartaruga will continue to produce at its’ current gross facility capacity of 500 – 800 BOPD (550 – 900 BOEPD). There is a planned 7 day maintenance turnaround at one of the Tie Field customer refineries in July during which Maha will recomplete GTE-3 (see below) that may affect total production in July.

Operational Update

GTE-3 (Tie Field)
Work has now started in converting the GTE-3 well from a single comingled well to a separate dual completion.  During the workover, GTE-3 will not be in production.  Upon completion, all four production and injection wells on Tie will be dually completed allowing for production redundancy and reservoir/ production-injection balancing.

7-TTG-3D-SES (Tartaruga)
A drilling rig is currently being mobilized and rigged up on the Maha-1 well (7-TTG-3D-SES) location.   The objective of this well is to delineate and test certain intervals of the Penedo sand reservoir.  To date, only four (4) of the twenty-seven (27) sandstone intervals in the Penedo sandstone has been tested and only two (2) has been placed on production.  A comprehensive evaluation program is planned for the well in order to fully evaluate the reservoir potential of the Penedo sandstone. 

Drilling is expected to take at least 60 days and subsequent reservoir evaluations and testing may take up to an additional 60 days, depending on logging results.  Spudding of the well will be the subject of a separate announcement in due course.

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

Press release
Stockholm
June 10, 2019

Maha Energy AB (publ) (“Maha” or the “Company”) Announces Operational Update and Well Test Results.

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

Attic Well (Tie Field)

After the initial single completion test of the comingled Agua Grande (AG) and Sergi reservoir zones in the Attic Well in the Tie Field, the well was recompleted using a dual 2-3/8” tubing completion.  This work is now complete and the well has now preliminary tested 2,932 BOEPD.  Initial free flowing tests from the Sergi and AG formations were 985 BOPD (1,088 BOEPD) and 1,726 BOPD (1,844 BOEPD) respectively with neither zone making any noticeable water. Of significance is that the AG had to be choked back (restricted) at 38/64” with 360 psi of tubing pressure due to surface equipment limitations. Suggested theoretical Initial Productivity Volumes for the AG may exceed 3,000 BOPD1.  The well will now be produced at approximately 2,000 BOPD and 1,200 MSCFPD (~2,200 BOEPD) to match production targets and balance production from all wells. The Company is now scaling up production from the Tie Field to achieve the month-end sales target exit rate of 4,050 BOPD. 

Additional Sales Volume

Work is continuing to finalize an Agreement to sell an additional 750 BOPD from the Tie Field.  The Company is hopeful this will be in place by the beginning of July, at which point the Company will have agreements at the Tie Field to sell oil to the market for up to 4,850 BOPD.  It is the objective of the Company to achieve a 4,500 – 5,000 BOPD production plateau for the Tie Field over the next 3 years.

The additional associated gas that will be produced with the increased oil will also need to be sold to the local market.  To that extent, the Company continues to work with two vendors to establish the most efficient and reliable offtake arrangement.  At this time, the Company is not expecting oil production to be affected due to insufficient gas off-take arrangements.

GTE-3

With the excellent results from the Attic Well, the Company will now complete the workover that was started in the summer of 2018 to convert GTE-3 to a dual producer.  At that time, a stuck pressure plug made it impossible to produce both strings. To maximize production, the AG and Sergi were commingled up a single string to allow the current (and significantly constrained) production rate of about 900 BOPD.  This workover will reconfigure the well to the intended dual completion so that production volumes can be increased and optimized.  The workover is expected to start at the end of June and will take approximately 2 weeks to complete.  During this time, GTE-3 will not produce any oil but production will be off-set by both GTE-4 and the Attic well.

When the GTE-3 workover is completed, all three wells on the Tie Field will be dually completed, allowing each well to independently control and produce the Sergi and AG producing zones.  At that point, well deliverability will exceed the current offtake and plant capabilities.

GTE-4

The workover to convert GTE-4 is planned and ready to execute when the need arises.  This operation will allow the well to be jet pumped to greatly increase flow but is currently unnecessary due to the deliverability of the other wells.

107D (Tartaruga Field)
As earlier announced on May 6, 2019, the 3-1/2” liner was successfully perforated using a Coiled Tubing Unit.  Subsequent well clean up and testing operations resulted in a continuous free flow of approximately 80 BOPD, 50 BWPD and 33 MSCFPD over a test period of seven days.  Due to excessive emulsion problems (of the produced fluid) and surface handling constraints (insufficient tank volumes and heater treater limitations) the well test was stopped before the well was completely cleaned up.  The fact that the well flowed unassisted to surface whilst still unloading large volumes of completion brine and drilling fluids is very encouraging.  Once the well is properly cleaned out and is allowed to flow without restrictions larger flow volumes are expected.

Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha commented: “The current results seen on 107D are very encouraging.  The fact the well is free flowing with substantial volumes of drilling mud and completion water suggests strong reservoir pressure.  We are looking forward to completing the clean out operations and returning 107D to production as soon as the Surface Facilities can handle the new volumes.”

The plan is now to return the 7TTG well on production, which is expected to fill the Tartaruga processing facility to capacity, and at the same time commence upgrading the Tartaruga production facilities to 2500 BOPD.  Once the plant is ready to handle the higher volumes, the 107D well will be placed on production.

1 The Theoretical Initial Productivity Volumes are calculated using surface measured pressures only and hence are estimates only.  Note that 6,000 SCF is equivalent to 1 bbl of oil

Maha Energy AB (publ) (“Maha” or the “Company”) May Production Volumes

Production Volumes

The Company's aggregate sales production for the month of May totaled 74,9921 barrels of oil and 33.717 million scf of gas for a combined average production of approximately 2,600 BOE/day2, before royalties and taxes.

The Company’s anticipated production increases from its recent drilling activity and capital program are expected in its June production totals as the Company works on normal course operational “de-bugging” of its new facilities and wells. In this regard – no oil was delivered from the Tartaruga Field during the month of May as well testing of the 107D well produced ‘off spec’ oil temporarily.   During clean-up, the 107D well, produced oil, water and drilling mud which in turn created unexpected oil/water emulsion issues in the tank farm. This necessitated additional treatment procedures which in turn slowed down crude oil deliveries.  This issue is being addressed and the Tartaruga Battery is expected to return to full capacity in the next two weeks.

The Attic well which tested 1,691 BOEPD on May 6, 2019, was recompleted to a dual 2-3/8” tubing production well during the month of May in order to accommodate the tubing constrained production volumes. As part of the recompletion work, the Company carried out extensive pressure testing that caused unexpected delays in bringing the Attic well on production.  The Company is now pleased to report that the Attic well is now producing into the Tie Battery.

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Friends and Fellow Shareholders of Maha Energy AB (“Maha” or the “Company”),

I am happy to report on another quarter of positive financial and operational results.  Revenues and net financial and operational results remain strong and are expected to grow as more production is brought online in the current positive pricing environment.

107D (Tartaruga Field)

While the year started with operational difficulties on the 107D well (Tartaruga field) requiring completion of the well in a slightly unconventional way -with perseverance 107D is now completed, perforated, hooked up and ready for production. As earlier reported, the 107D well was completed using a 3-1/2” liner instead of the planned 4-1/2” pre-perforated liner requiring specialty equipment to perforate the now ‘smaller’ liner.  This equipment was finally assembled in April and the operation was subsequently successfully completed.  Positive indications at surface in the form of pressure and hydrocarbon flows were observed immediately.  This is very encouraging, considering 107D is a 25-year-old well that has produced over 780,000 barrels of oil to date.  The well is now being tested and is free-flowing to surface. Excessive drilling debris (drilling mud and completion water) extended the clean-up period. The production team is carefully testing the well to ensure proper representative test results are obtained before the well is placed on permanent production.

Boipeba and Attic Well (Tie Field)

The much-anticipated Attic well was spudded during the quarter and in April, the well penetrated the Boipeba exploration target.  After some early delays due to a lightning strike on the derrick, the Boipeba was finally evaluated and though the Boipeba sandstone was encountered as per prognosis, the reservoir was poorly developed and filled with water. The well was subsequently completed in the Agua Grande and Sergi formations which when comingled tested 1,691 BOEPD through a 2-3/8” tubing and with a 28/64” choke. Production was constrained by surface equipment limitations.  Currently, the well is being recompleted to remove the equipment limitations and allow the well to be produced through a dual 2-3/8” completion – effectively doubling the capacity of the completion.  The Attic well did not disappoint. 

We are now in the very fortunate position that the Tie Field wells can deliver more oil than we can currently sell. We are making great progress with customers to increase our offtake capacity by another 750 BOPD, giving us the capability to sell up to 4,850 BOPD from this field.  I am hopeful this will be in place sometime during the summer.

7TTG Workover (Tartaruga)

The 7TTG Workover was completed in February with production numbers well above expectations.  As the well continued to clean up from the hydraulic stimulation, production increased steadily.  The well was producing close to 900 BOPD from the P1 zone alone (gross volume) –and that is before we optimize the pump.  We are very happy with this result. Since the P6 zone is still not opened up, we can expect even higher production rates from the 7TTG well. A very favourable result for a well that was only producing 190 BOPD prior to being shut it in last year.

Near Term Production

With all this new production coming on stream, our teams are having to quickly adjust Tie and Tartaruga plant parameters and to find new markets for the oil.  A welcome challenge!   There will be certain short-term interruptions in May and June in our production as the teams work through tie-in work and fluid treatment issues. 

I continue to be grateful for all the support and encouraging e‐mails we receive from our extended family of “Maha Investors”.

“Jonas Lindvall”
Managing Director

Maha Energy AB (publ) (“Maha” or the “Company”) Announces Operational Update and Well Test Results

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

Attic Well (Tie Field)

The Attic development well (7-TIE-1D-BA) has now been tied into the Production facilities at Tie.  Both the Agua Grande (AG) and Sergi zones are perforated and are now comingled in a 2-3/8” single tubing completion.  Initial free flow test results are constrained by tubing size and are as follows:
Oil Production                          : 1591 BOPD
Water Production                     : 8 BWPD
Gas Production                        : 600 MSCFPD
BOEPD                                    : 1691 BOEPD
Choke Size                              : 28/64”
Flowing Wellhead Pressure        : 380 psi

The well is currently shut in awaiting a workover unit to complete the well to a dual producer.  This work is expected to start this week.

107D (Tartaruga Field)
The 3-1/2” liner was successfully perforated using a Coiled Tubing Unit with immediate indications of hydrocarbons observed.  The well has now been tied in to the Tartaruga Production Facilities and well testing operations commenced on May 4.  The well is currently free flowing without assistance of a pump and once 107D has been fully tested, results will be published by a Press Release.

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

Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha Energy commented “We are very happy with the initial flowing test results on both wells so far. The  107D well has produced over 782,000 barrels to date and is almost 25 years old. The fact that the well is free flowing again is very encouraging and we look forward to the completion of the well test. 

The Attic well test results speak for themselves. We look forward to completing this well as a dual producer which will allow for independent zonal production and expected higher production rates.”
