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.

Letter to shareholders

Dear Friends and Fellow Shareholders of Maha Energy AB,

“Bromsa inte i uppförsbacke!”  Roughly translated this means: “Do not brake when going uphill!”  This is the advice a good friend once imparted on me many years ago.  And I think that with the acquisition of the Illinois Basin assets in the USA, we clearly demonstrate that Maha is not slowing down even though the rest of the world seem to have come to a complete standstill.

The brief Saudi/Russia spat along with the unprecedented and massive demand erosion caused by the COVID-19 pandemic created for oil prices not seen since the 1990’s. The low oil price environment is a huge challenge for a sector that has been under siege since the 2014 oil price collapse. Maha is not unaffected but with a cash position of USD 19 million, low operating costs (USD 6.46/BOE), and increasing production volumes we are well positioned to ride the storm out.

In fact, with most of our capital requirements for production growth behind us, we are optimally positioned for organic growth and acquisitions. The Illinois Basin assets purchased at the end of Q1 represents very low risk growth potential in the USA. These assets are conventional, shallow, and proven. As production volumes increase, our operating costs decrease on a per barrel basis. It is our intention to grow these assets to around 1,000 BOPD as soon as COVID-19 and the current economic climate permits. The acquisition metrics on this deal are outstanding. With a purchase price of USD 4.0 million (adjusted for the assumption of USD 0.25 m in liabilities), and 2P reserves of 2.941 million bbls, Maha paid USD 1.44/bbl for the oil.  According to the Dome AB Inc. December 31, 2019 reserve report, Proved Developed Producing (PDP) reserves (0.458 m bbls) were valued at Net Present Value (10%) USD 7.2 million, which mean that we bought these producing assets well below the PDP value. Even though the value was based on a WTI price of USD 57/bbl – the value in the asset speaks for it-self. We are excited about the future growth in the Illinois Basin.

In Brazil, production for the first quarter was affected by a three week strike at Petrobras in February, a prolonged maintenance shutdown at one of the gas end users, and then by the COVID-19 Pandemic in March.  But even with these interruptions, the quarter marked the second highest production volumes in the Company’s short history.  As the COVID-19 pandemic expanded across the world and Brazil, our gas customers at the Tie field had to reduce and eventually cease receiving Tie gas deliveries. A decrease in gas deliveries meant a decrease in oil deliveries in order to comply with the country’s flaring limitations. By the middle of April, however, the Government of Brazil took swift and decisive action to safeguard oil production across the country and decreed a temporary flaring easement of up to 100,000 m3 per day. We continually monitor the oil offtake requirements with our customers, and as Brazil is a net importer of oil, we do not anticipate oil production reductions in the immediate future.

We recently announced a reduction in our 2020 production guidance which is attributable to the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. With the reduction in the production guidance we also reduced our 2020 OPEX and G&A costs by similar amounts. And as previously announced we have rearranged our 2020 capital investments to further reduce spending in 2020. All these efforts are made in order to ensure we can meet all our future financial obligations, but at the same time, take full advantage of the opportunities this period of unprecedented volatility presents.

Right now, in this market, Maha is almost in poll position. We can afford to keep all our options open; if we need to, we can hunker down and conserve our future cashflows, or we can use this opportunity to acquire quality assets and position us for even greater growth when the oil market returns. It’s a good place to be, right now.

Stay well, stay safe and stay with us!  We are hitting the accelerator (not the brake) on this hill.

 “Jonas Lindvall”
Managing Director

Maha Energy AB (publ) (“Maha” or the “Company”) Announce Updated production guidance and capital plan for 2020 due to effects from Covid-19

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.

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. 

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.
