Oilex to Bring Into Production Three Gas Wells in India This Year
May 04th, 2015



Oilex will bring into production three wells in two separate fields in Gujarat, India in 2015, the company said in its quarterly report last week.

Cambay-73 will come into production this month; Bhandut-3 production expected to commence in July and Cambay-77 production will start in August, Oilex said.

Oilex will recommence gas production in Cambay field for the first time since early 1990’s.

"Production from these wells will be a substantial step towards cash positive operations in India for the company as a result of the strong gas demand and associated robust gas price structure,” it said.

The company late last month said it has completed the Cambay-73 oil and gas production facilities in India’s Gujarat state on budget and ahead of schedule. Construction of the pipeline has commenced and it is expected to be at site ready for connection to the production facilities during May 2015 which will enable final commissioning to be completed, the company said.

Cambay-73 will supply gas to a low pressure gas market in the vicinity of the Cambay field and is expected to produce approx. 50-60 boepd of gas and condensate.

JPDA 06-103 Joint Venture

Oilex Ltd, in its capacity as Operator, on behalf of the Joint Venture Participants in the Joint Petroleum Development Area ("JPDA") 06-103 Production Sharing Contract ("PSC"), submitted a request to the Autoridade Nacional do Petroleo ("ANP") to terminate the PSC by mutual agreement in accordance with its terms and without penalty or claim on 12 July 2013 ("Request to Terminate").

The Request to Terminate followed Joint Venture concerns over the security of PSC tenure as a result of developments within the JPDA, including JPDA (06-103), which are outside the control and influence of the Joint Venture Participants, including:

(a) existence of separate unilateral rights to terminate the Certain Maritime Arrangements in the Timor Sea ("CMATS") arising in 2013 in favour of both the Government of Timor Leste and the Government of Australia; and

(b) formal arbitration proceedings being initiated by the Timor Leste Government against the Government of Australia to have CMATS declared void ab initio.

On 15 January, 2014 the ANP suspended the PSC for 3 months to provide sufficient time for a response to the Request to Terminate be determined. The ANP has subsequently granted successive 3 month extensions to the PSC.

The PSC is currently suspended until 15 July 2015 but remains in good standing.

The ANP has responded to the Joint Venture in a letter dated 11 May 2015 and advised the Request to Terminate has been rejected. The ANP have further indicated their intention to serve notice to terminate under the terms of the PSC. A notice to terminate has not been received.

The Joint Venture will consider the ANP's response to ascertain the most appropriate way forward.

Oilex confirms intention to exit Timor Sea venture
By Jamie Ashcroft
May 13 2015

Oilex (LON:OEX) has confirmed it intends to terminate contracts for an exploration project in the Timor sea.

The AIM junior is the operator of the project, which strategically is considered non-core, and it has a 10% stake in the joint venture alongside five other companies.

The termination was described as being mutual, and it comes amid concerns over the security of the production sharing contract’s (PSC) tenure which are outside the control of the companies; issues such as formal arbitration between the government of Australia and the Timor Leste government.

Oilex said the PSC is currently suspended until July 15, but it remains in good standing.

Timor-Leste’s Autoridade Nacional do Petróleo (ANP) – the National Petroleum Authority – has rejected the company’s request to terminate though it advised its intention to terminate under the terms of the PSC. No such notice has yet been received, though Oilex said the joint venture partners will consider ANP’s response and ascertain the most appropriate way forward.

JPDA 06-103 Joint Venture



Oilex Ltd ("Oilex"), in its capacity as Operator, on behalf of the Joint Venture Participants in the Joint Petroleum Development Area ("JPDA") 06-103 Production Sharing Contract ("PSC"), has received a Notice of Intent to Terminate the PSC ("Notice") from the Autoridade Nacional do Petroleo ("ANP"). The Notice follows on from the recent rejection by the ANP of the Joint Venture Request to Terminate the PSC by mutual agreement, in good standing and without penalty ("Request to Terminate").

The Notice asserts a monetary claim against the Joint Venture for payment of the estimated cost of exploration activities not carried out in 2013 and certain local content obligations set out in the PSC. The total amount sought to be recovered by the ANP in the Notice is approximately USD17M (Oilex share USD1.7M). The Company has not provided for a monetary settlement in its accounts and given the significant overpayment in the work programme would not anticipate making such a provision.

The Joint Venture has previously requested credit for excess expenditure on the approved work program in the amount of circa USD56M and this issue remains unresolved. The Notice does not include any reference to, nor allowance for, credit for excess monies which have been spent by the Joint Venture during the PSC term. Oilex considers such excess expenditure should be included as part of any financial assessment incorporated in the termination process.

The ANP has requested the Joint Venture submit a written response to the Notice by 12 June 2015. In accordance with this request, the Operator, and the Joint Venture, will review the Notice and deliver a formal response within the specified period.

The PSC remains in formal suspension until 15 July 2015.


Background


The Request to Terminate was made due to Joint Venture concerns as to the security of PSC tenure as a result of separate unilateral rights to terminate the Certain Maritime Arrangements in the Timor Sea ("CMATS") arising in 2013 in favour of both the Government of Timor Leste and the Government of Australia and formal arbitration proceedings being initiated by the Timor Leste Government against the Government of Australia to have CMATS declared void ab initio.

These matters remain unresolved at present.

Cambay-73: Pipeline and pre-commissioning completed

· Laying of pipeline complete

· Tie-in to the production facilities is in progress

· Production of ~50-60boepd to commence within 2 weeks after commissioning completed

Oilex is pleased to announce that the laying of the pipeline has been completed, with tie in to the production facilities expected to be completed shortly. The Cambay-73 oil and gas production facilities have finished pre-commissioning and are now ready for commissioning and start-up.

Cambay-73 will supply gas to the low pressure gas market in the vicinity of the Cambay Field and is expected to produce approximately 50-60boepd of gas and condensate. The condensate will be separated at the field and trucked to a nearby refinery together with other Cambay crude oil produced.

The scheduled commencement of gas sales into the Indian domestic market reinforces Oilex's strategic advantage as an early mover in India and highlights the Company's ability to access infrastructure and successfully execute its work program.

Managing Director of Oilex, Ron Miller, said;

"The commencement of gas production from the Cambay-73 facilities is a significant milestone for Oilex and marks the first step on the path to achieving positive cash flow from operations in India. Oilex continues to deliver on its plan of production, near-term cashflow and reserves growth to create a sustainable business in the midst of a robust and supportive domestic market for petroleum energy."

Oilex (LON:OEX/ASX:OEX) – Next Stage Beckons

Today's news that Oilex's Cambay field is entering the final stages of commissioning is good news, not just for the Company, but shareholders too. Now that the near term cash flow has been shored up, we believe that the next stage is for management to focus on how to maximise the benefits from its ownership of Cambay to generate further value for shareholders.

The next stage is going to be vital, as it is going to be key to understanding the direction the Company intends to move in next. Of course, we are assuming that Cambay will produce sufficient excess cash flow to deploy elsewhere in the portfolio, which is something that the management team will have to ensure.

Today's news is a solid step forwards for the Company, and while it is one that deserves to be congratulated, the next stages are now the most important, such as the field's full development strategy and the use of proceeds to generate further value.

Carlyle joins Cairn Energy's Mike Watts to recreate magic
By Arijit Barman, ET Bureau
22 Jun, 2015

MUMBAI: The man who hit a jackpot under the sands of Rajasthan's Thar desert by finding over a billion barrels of oil when nobody believed there could be any is back to what he does best - hunt for more.

Mike Watts, the maverick oil explorer credited as the geological brains behind Cairn Energy's blockbuster drilling success in India is teaming up with Carlyle, among the largest global private equity groups, to roll out a brand new upstream oil and gas company Magna Energy focusing on the Indian subcontinent and South Asia, said multiple officials involved.

Carlyle International Energy Partners (CIEP), a specialist fund for hydrocarbon and oil and gas sector investments will be backing the fledgling Magna Energy with a $500 million (Rs 3174 crore) funding commitment to take off its operations.

Watts, the former Exploration Director with Cairn who went on to become its Deputy CEO had stepped down in 2014 and joined forces with his former CFO turned Managing Director Jann Brown to found Magna. The idea is to build an oil & gas company that will build acreage positions won through new licensing rounds and acquisitions.

With the Modi government gearing up to invite fresh bids to develop marginal fields in the coming months followed soon by another round of hydrocarbon block auctions under New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP), the committed equity back up from Carlyle will help Magna to bid aggressively or scout for M&A targets in the sector. Magna's principle focus will be development and production followed by exploration. The Consolidated Contractors Group (CCC) a leading civil construction major throughout the Middle East and Africa and Ayman Asfari, CEO of Petrofacs, a large oil field services provider from are also believed to be junior partners of Magna.


The announcement is expected as early as today.

A Carlyle spokesperson declined to comment on ET's detailed questionnaire. Watts said an announcement is due on Monday but didn't share any specific details.

Magna doesn't own any block by themselves as yet. But it is already a 17 per cent shareholder in Oilex Ltd, another young exploration and production (E&P) company with a diversified portfolio of oil and gas projects providing a pipeline from early stage exploration through to pre-production assets. Their flagship project in the onshore Cambay Basin region in Gujarat is a near term unconventional siltstone gas play - known as tight hydrocarbon project in oil industry parlance. Oilex is the operator of the field with a 45 per cent stake. With .2 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or 208 billion cubic feet (bcf) of proven and probable 2P reserves, the company is now entering the development phase in Cambay. The drilling of the first two production wells is also scheduled to commence in 2HCY15. Oilex, dually listed in London and Australia, also operates the smaller conventional gas asset in Bhandut, also in Gujarat's Cambay Basin with a 40 per cent stake. Its global portfolio includes acreage in Australia and Indonesia.
