Maha Energy AB Announces Filing of Q2 Financials

Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") has today released its Q2 Financials Statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  The Q2 Financials Statements are attached and available on the Company's website at www.mahaenergy.ca.

Highlights of Second Quarter 2017

  • The Company completed a Bond Financing for SEK 300,000,000 to finance the previously announced acquisition of the Brazilian business unit of Gran Tierra Energy Inc. ("Gran Tierra").
  • The Company completed a Guaranteed Rights Offering for gross proceeds of SEK 91,727,215 to finance the Gran Tierra acquisition.
  • The Company established July 1 as the date for closing of the acquisition of the Brazilian business unit of Gran Tierra and the Closing occurred.
  • Company sold Production on the Tartaruga Field increased by 115% to an average of 213 BOPD during the quarter.  The increase was primarily due to the successful workover of the 107D well which was completed during the first quarter.

Results of Second Quarter 2017

  • Company sold Production of 19,393 bbls for the period compared to 0 (zero) bbls for the same period 2016
  • Revenue of KUSD 995 for the period compared to KUSD 0 (zero) for the same period 2016
  • Net Result of KUSD (3,626) for the period compared to KUSD (651)  for the same period 2016
  • Net Result of (0.4) /share for the period compared to (0.2)/share for the same period 2016

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Friends and Fellow Shareholders of Maha Energy AB,

The Q2 financial results are very much as expected.  The additional production from the Tartaruga Field had a positive impact on our revenue, and LAK Ranch revenue continues to be capitalized (thus does not appear on the 'revenue' lines consistent with previous quarters).  What was unexpected was the quick approval by the Brazilian authorities of Maha's acquisition Gran Tierra Energy's ("GTE") Brazil operations which came early in the quarter.

In the Q1 Letter to Shareholders, I had indicated Maha was in the process of completing the financing for Maha's acquisition of 100% of GTE's Brazilian operations for a cash consideration of USD 35 million (before post closing adjustments) and the assumption of approximately USD 11 million in Government Guarantees and Letters of Credits (the "Acquisition").   I am pleased to report the Acquisition closed on 1 July, 2017 – much earlier than anticipated.  Naturally we are thrilled with this outcome.

The financing was very complicated and involved several inter-dependent steps, which were each critical path to success.  Our team worked tirelessly to ensure each part was successfully completed on time. I am very grateful to everyone involved.

In the end, the Bond and the Rights Issue closed in June and Maha received Brazil Government go-ahead earlier than anticipated. This in turn allowed closing of the Acquisition to occur straight away, with-out the necessity of tying up capital in an escrow account.  Completion of the Acquisition now positions us to focus on production from our assets and revenue.

It bears repeating – Maha is a value driven Company.  "We go where there is value."  The GTE Acquisition's core value lies in its' production and production related development opportunities. GTE's Q2 reported production of 1,339 BOEPD and operating net back of USD 28.96/bbl demonstrates this value.  Further value can easily be unlocked by removing certain commercials constraints currently facing the Tie field as is discussed later in this Report.

We are also undertaking a detailed review to look for "bonus" value in addition to these producing assets.  As part of the Acquisition, Maha acquired 6 exploration blocks with a total area of 41,606 acres which is in addition to the 13,201 acres of under-explored land in the Tartaruga block.  These blocks are all strategically located in established and well documented oil and gas producing basins. 

While Maha's focus is on producing assets, our business model anticipates 20% of our asset portfolio to be near field exploration opportunities. These newly acquired Blocks are great examples of 'looking for oil where there is oil'.  As the map demonstrates – the new 6 blocks are surrounded by, and on trend with world-class oil and gas discoveries.

Areas in yellow form part of Maha's acreage in the Bahia province in Brazil.

These new blocks are in varying stages of evaluation and our work in fully understanding the subterranean details has just begun.  Part of our current work is to independently verify the previously identified prospects mapped by GTE indicating approximately 48 million barrels of potentially recoverable oil. Fortunately, modern 3D seismic is available on all the blocks as an aid in this process.

Production continued to grow during the second Quarter with Tartaruga leading the way.  Company production was up 85% compared to the first Quarter (Q2 Maha production was 22,000 bbls compared to 11,885 bbls in Q1 before all Royalties).  No major shut downs occurred during the quarter, however, the 7TTG well at Tartaruga did start to show signs of reduced production due to a suspected leak in the downhole production tubing.  Plans are underway to rectify this problem during the second half of the year.   At LAK Ranch production remained steady at 2,606 bbls of oil sold this quarter. The effects of the hot water flood are stabilizing and we see a good response in the two main production wells.  Our team at LAK expects further improvements into the next half of the year.

To conclude; the second quarter was a very busy quarter with focus on completing the complicated financing for the GTE transaction and the Acquisition.  The Company is now in a good place financially, has a world class menu of assets and with laser sharp focus and execution is expecting to enjoy production increases during the second half of the year.

We thank you for your continued support.

Maha Energy AB: Announces an Operational and Production Update; the Appointment of New Senior Management; and the Listing of Bonds

Press release

Stockholm

1 August, 2017

This press release is not for release, publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland or the United States, or in any other jurisdiction where distribution of this press release could be illegal or subject to legal restrictions.

Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") Announces anOperational and Production Update; theAppointment of New Senior Management; and the Listing of Bonds

Operational Update

The Company's aggregate production for the month of July totaled 50,574 barrels of oil and 20.973 million scf of gas for a combined average production of approximately 1,751 BOE/day[1], before royalties and taxes which includes production from Maha's newly acquired Tie Field in Brazil from July 1, 2017.

Brazil

Production volumes from the Tartaruga field are reduced due to a downhole leak in the completion string on the 7-TTG well.  The leak was identified in May and testing is scheduled for the beginning of August to pinpoint the problem and thereafter determine a solution.  High fluid levels in the well and the abrupt reduction in production suggests a mechanical downhole problem as opposed to reservoir decline.  It is estimated the production from the 7-TTG well has been halved because of this.   Meanwhile, the recently worked over 107 D well continues to produce at expected levels.

The Tie field produces on natural flow from two zones from a single well.  During the month of July, additional crude oil was sold to a new customer which allowed the production to be increased during the first half of the month, however, crude oil production had to be reduced during the second half of the month due to gas handling issues which are being resolved.  August production is expected to increase to satisfy the demand for oil in the area.  July was a historical record month for crude oil production at the Tie Field.

A pressure maintenance project on the Tie Field in the form of water injection into both reservoirs is almost complete and is scheduled to commence in September.  Water re-injection is beneficial to the total recovery of crude oil from the field.

USA

The LAK Ranch hot water flood has now been in place for 2 months. Oil production from 12-21 has tripled as a result of the water flood, although overall fluid production remains below expectations at this point.  Conversely, 12-18 is now producing expected fluid rates, but oil production is roughly half of what is common and expected in the field.  Overall, the same level of production is maintained from half the number of wells to pre waterflood production.  Additional gains are expected over the next few months, as the total fluid production on 12-21 increases.

Up-time has increased substantially at LAK during the past 12 months, which has translated to an increase in oil production per well compared to previous periods.

Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha commented: "Things are going very well in Brazil and we are particularly happy with the ability to ramp up production ahead of schedule. This is in no small part due to the hard work of our new team members in Brazil, and we wish to welcome them all into Maha."

"We are very pleased to have closed our acquisition of GTE's Brazilian operations. The main asset purchased from GTE is the Tie Field, a producing oil field with development potential.  The Tie Field is at the core of what we are about, "developing underperforming assets".  We are already on the ground and working closely with our new colleagues in Brazil to increase production from the Tie Field. This acquisition is a transformational milestone in the Company's short history.  We are now 100% focused on the next phase of the Company's growth," stated Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha.

Below are certain transaction highlights relating to the transaction.

Key Transaction Highlights2

    • 1P reserves of 7.7 MMboe3 representing 75% of 2P Reserves
  • Strong operating netbacks of $30.6 per boe (Q1 2017)
    • Operating expenses of $6.21 per boe and transportation expenses of $1.41per boe (Q1 2017)

Maha Energy Post Acquisition

With the Acquisition now complete, Maha intends to focus on the development of its assets consistent with the capital plan announced on April 18, 2017.  Maha has a robust portfolio of reserves whose development can be accelerated with increasing oil prices given Maha's flexibility and control as operator of all its assets.

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Friends and Fellow Shareholders of Maha Energy AB,

The first three months of the year can be summed up in one word: "Brazil".  In Brazil, Maha completed the acquisition of the Tartaruga light oil field, added 220 BOPD of production to the Tartaruga field after a complicated workover and agreed to acquire (by providing a USD 3.5 million deposit) the Brazilian operations of Gran Tierra Energy Inc. (GTE)

I would like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome our new employees in Brazil to our expanding team at Maha!

Maha is a value driven Company.  We go where there is value – Brazil represents great value to investors in exploration and production of hydrocarbons.  Its fiscal regime is ranked by IHS as having one of the lower Government Takes in a survey of Global Hydrocarbon Fiscal Regimes. Recent political changes in Brazil combined with the bottoming of the oil commodity cycle in 2016 have presented remarkable opportunities in Brazil's very prolific oil basins.

An example is the GTE acquisition. Maha agreed with GTE to acquire their entire Brazilian operations which include the producing "Tie" light oil field.  During the first Quarter of 2017 GTE reported that the average Tie Field production was 1,398 BOEPD with a corresponding netback of USD 30.30/bbl.  Current Proven reserves are 7.7 million BOE and the 2P reserves are 10.2 million BOEs.

Maha has agreed to a purchase price of USD 35 million and the assumption of approximately USD 11 million in Letters of Credits and Guarantees to acquire this prolific cash-flowing asset. While reserves-based lending would have been the preferable financing tool for this acquisition since that market is not "open" currently, Maha was able to access capital through a senior secured bond in Sweden. Maha is fortunate to have a solid investor base in Scandinavia that shares the vision to 'buy when prices are low'.  Access to capital in these times give us a clear competitive advantage.

During the Quarter we reported updated reserves for the Company. The current reserves are indicative of the underlying value of our assets, even at oil prices near the bottom of the cycle.  In particular we note the great potential reflected in the "Possible" reserves category at Tartaruga.  We knew going into the acquisition that Tartaruga represented a solid production opportunity, but it also has very attractive upside potential which to date is underexploited.

The sale of our Canadian assets was completed during the quarter.  Petrocapita, the new Operator of the fields, purchased our 50% stake in the heavy oil producing Manitou field and our 30% working interest in the shut-in Marwayne heavy oil field for a combined cash and debenture pledge of CAD 1.65 million.  Maha paid just over CAD 1.9 million in mid-2014 for these assets which have been mostly cash flow positive since. Given the current market conditions in Canada we consider this good value.

Finally, Jet Vac operations on LAK Ranch heavy oil field in Wyoming were completed at the end of March.  While results were mixed, a lot of valuable data was acquired.  Based on the analysis of this data, it was decided to expand the current initial pilot hot water flood project to include an additional 2 injector wells to increase sweep efficiency.  The expanded hot water flood is currently being implemented. Initial results continue to be encouraging.

We thank you for your continued support.
