OILEX LTD - Dual Listed Oil & Gas Explorer (OEX)     

Alex 36 - 01 Nov 2012 11:04



Oilex Ltd was incorporated in Australia. Its operations are based out of five offices - our Perth head office, where geotechnical work, financial management and control are located; two in India focused on operations and government relations; and one in each in Muscat, Oman and Dili, Timor-Leste for field logistic, administration and finance support and government liaison. Currently Oilex's main country of operation for the purposes of AIM Rule 26 is India.

The Company is directing its efforts towards opportunities that have the potential to provide an exceptional return on investment. Our focus remains on searching for exploration and production assets in the prospective hydrocarbon basins of India , Australia - particularly in the Northwest Shelf and in the Timor Sea, and in the countries of Southeast and South Asia and near Middle East around the rim of the Indian Ocean. With eight permits/interests in prospective basins, Oilex has rapidly compiled a significant portfolio of oil and gas acreage that has a well-balanced mix of risk and reward.

Oilex now has interests in three field re-development and exploration projects in India; two exploration permits offshore Australia; one production sharing contract in the Joint Petroleum Development Area between Timor-Leste and Australia; one exploration and production sharing agreement onshore Oman and one production sharing contract onshore Sumatera Indonesia. Oilex is the operator of joint ventures comprising major Indian energy companies in all areas save for Indonesia. In Indonesia Oilex is non operator in a joint venture with an Indonesian company.

Oilex Loss Widens After Booking Impairments Against Indian Assets
Joshua Warner
24 September, 2015 | 11:15AM

LONDON (Alliance News) - Oilex Ltd Thursday said its pretax loss significantly widened in the last financial year after the company booked a large amount of impairments against its exploration assets in India.

The Indian gas producer is focused on carrying out its work programme that will start in the second half and stretch into 2016 as it looks to turn its operations cashflow positive before the end of 2015.

The company reported a USD17.4 million pretax loss in the year ended June 30, substantially widening from the USD4.6 million loss reported a year earlier. The company's small amount of revenue came in at USD290,294, slightly higher than USD250,620 last year.

The main cause of the wider loss was the company booking exploration activities amounting to USD13.2 million during the year, of which USD11.9 million was recorded as impairments, compared to only USD1.7 million in the last financial year. Administrative expenses, share-based payments and other expenses also experienced small lifts year-on-year.

Oilex is focused on executing its 2015 to 2016 work programme on the Cambay and Bhandut fields to deliver production growth and cash flow, underpinned by the Cambay field's gross 2P Reserves of 206.0 billion cubic feet of gas plus 8.0 million barrels of liquids.

That work programme will be comprised of the drilling of two wells, Cambay-77H and Bhandut-3, plus a further two dependent on the success of the first two wells. Tenders for the programme are currently being analysed and the first well is expected to be drilled before the end of 2015.

The first and flagship well, Cambay-73, began producing in June.

Also forming part of the approved work programme are 5 well work-overs to boost oil and possibly gas production from existing wells. Oilex said the work-overs are "integral" to the company making its operation cashflow positive, excluding exploration and field development costs, in 2015.

The Cambay field is located at the hub of India's large gas distribution network close to the existing gas pipeline grid in the State of Gujarat. Oilex will use an existing pipeline which already has spare capacity to facilitate its production growth.

"It is anticipated that while the global energy markets are experiencing significant price constraints, with our unique position to supply onshore gas close to infrastructure in Gujarat state, the growing demand for energy should ensure that domestic prices will be insulated from external price pressures," said Chairman Max Cozijn.

"India Operations Update

· Workover campaign has commenced with mobilisation of rig to Cambay-19z

· Bhandut-3 production facility construction is ~ 40% complete

· Evaluation of tenders for the Cambay 2015/2016 drilling campaign nearly complete and final approvals to award contracts being sought

Oilex Ltd is pleased to provide the following Operations Update:

Cambay Field

The workover campaign has started with the mobilisation of the rig to Cambay-19z, an oil producer from the Eocene (EP IV) formation. Cambay-19z is located approximately 1.4 km to the west of Cambay-77H. The workover includes removal and cleaning of the production tubing and repositioning the downhole pump to improve well deliverability. Subsequent to Cambay-19z, the rig will move to 1 of 4 candidates;

· Cambay-20, an oil producer currently on self-flow that requires a downhole pump to improve deliverability

· Cambay-70 located adjacent to Cambay-77H pad, a gas and oil producer from Eocene/MBS formation

· Cambay-60 - tested gas and condensate from OSII formation but never put into production

· Cambay-77H - to remove the frac tree, install production tubing and tree."

************************************************

Bhandut Field

Field construction continues at Bhandut and is 40% complete (refer to attached photographs) and expected to be completed during November 2015. Gas transportation is the responsibility of the buyer(s), which is currently targeted to be in place prior to end December. Bhandut-3 should be ready to commence production prior to the end of December 2015 subject to availability of the interconnecting gas transportation infrastructure. An independent reserve assessment has commenced to support Oilex's recently upgraded internal estimate and an announcement of the results will be made when they are final. Bandhut-3 is expected to commence plateau production at 100 - 130boepd.

************************************************

Managing Director of Oilex, Ron Miller, said;

"The commencement of field activities to boost production through the workover campaign is another milestone towards our goal of being operationally cash flow positive in India (exclusive of workover and drilling capex) before the end of this calendar year. In addition, the approvals tendering and cost recovery process is nearing completion for the 2015/16 drilling campaign. We are looking forward to Bhandut recommencing production and the final independent reserves report being completed. The gas market in India remains robust driven by market fundamentals and it is important to capture the commercial benefit of lower contractor service prices currently prevalent in the market."

Oilex kicks off workover programme on Indian project
Daniel Cancian | Sharecast | 21 Oct, 2015 12:39 - Updated: 15:54

Indian-focused gas producer Oilex has started a workover programme on its Cambay project ahead of a planned relocation of the rig and as part of its efforts to become cashflow-positive in India in 2015.

The group said the workover campaign on its Indian project, aimed at removing and cleaning the production tubing, has begun with the mobilisation of a rig to the producing Cambay-19z well, the first of four workover wells to be deployed in different locations across the site.

Oilex expects the workover programme to be completed before it drills the next two wells on site, Cambay-78H and Cambay-80H, adding that while production remains limited whilst the group carries out study on the reservoir, the Cambay-73 well is continuing to produce gas.

Upon completion of workover, the Cambay-77 well will be connected to the pipeline currently serving the Cambay-73.

"The commencement of field activities to boost production through the workover campaign is another milestone towards our goal of being operationally cash flow positive in India before the end of this calendar year,” the group said.

Oilex added the approvals tendering and cost recovery process was nearing completion for the 2015/16 drilling campaign.

Meanwhile, the gas producer said field construction at the Bhanut field was roughly 40% completed and was expected to be completed in November, when it is expected to produce 100-130 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

“The gas market in India remains robust driven by market fundamentals and it is important to capture the commercial benefit of lower contractor service prices currently prevalent in the market,” the company said.

22nd October 2015

Ron Miller, managing director of Oilex (LON:OEX), says the company remains on courseto be operationally cash flow positive in India by the end of 2015.

Key to this is a work-over campaign at its Cambay project in India, which commenced this week.

A drilling rig has been moved to Cambay-19z, which is an oil producer from the Eocene (EP IV) formation, located around 1.4 kilometres to the west of Cambay-77H.

The work-over includes the removal and cleaning of the production tubing and repositioning the down-hole pump to improve what Oilex called “well deliverability”.

Oilex (LON:OEX) told investors that preparations for a five-well workover programme at the Cambay gas field were, by the end of the third quarter, largely complete.

It also highlighted, in the quarterly activity report, that temporary pipeline to connect the Cambay 77-H well, and three other wells, was completed. The pipe is operational.

The company also said the technical evaluation of thirteen of fourteen tenders for a planned new drilling programme was nearly complete.

During the period the Cambay-73 well was on continuous production. Presently output from the one well is relatively modest, though volumes will rise as more wells are brought on.

It also highlighted that construction work continued at the Bhandut field, and the project should be complete in November. Production testing during the period enabled an upgrade to Bhandut’s contingent resources, to 425mln cubic feet of gas.

India Workover Update

· Cambay-19z workover successfully completed

· Workover rig relocated to Cambay-20 and workover has commenced

· Preparation for workover of Cambay-77H has commenced

· Reviewing other potential workover candidates

Oilex Ltd is pleased to provide the following Workover Update:

Cambay-19z


Oilex successfully completed the Cambay-19z workover on budget. The workover rig was at location for 15 days. Currently 240 bbls of workover brine is being pumped from the well at the rate of 40bbls per day after which oil production should commence. Adjustments to the pumping rate will be made to optimise the oil production after recovery of the workover brine. Cambay-19z is an oil producer from the Eocene (EP IV) formation and located approximately 1.4 km to the west of Cambay-77H.

Cambay-20

The Cambay-20 workover commenced on 5 November after completion of the rig move from Cambay-19z. Cambay-20 is an intermittent oil and gas producer located approximately 200 metres from Cambay-77H. It is connected to Cambay-73 facilities via a temporary flowline to recover gas for sale during intermittent oil production. It is an older legacy well and the workover is to recover, inspect, clean and replace as necessary, the production tubing. In addition, installation of a downhole pump is expected to improve oil production.

Cambay-77H

It is expected workover activities at Cambay 77-H will commence after Cambay-20 following confirmation of delivery times for various components sourced from North America. As such, preparations have commenced to isolate the reservoir section of the well such that the frac tree can be replaced with a production tree and production tubing can be installed. As previously announced, Cambay-77H will be connected to the Cambay-73 facilities via the temporary flowline and gas sold into the low-pressure market in the immediate vicinity of the field.

Other potential workover candidates

· Cambay-70 - located adjacent to Cambay-77H pad, a gas and oil producer from Eocene/MBS formation

· Cambay-60 - located approximately 2.3 km to the south of Cambay-77H, tested gas and condensate from OSII formation but never put into production

· Cambay-15 - located approximately 3.3 km to the south of Cambay-77H, a former gas producer from the OSII formation that may still be capable of servicing the low pressure market


Managing Director of Oilex, Ron Miller, said;

"The Cambay workover campaign continues with the successful completion of activities at Cambay-19z. The pumping performance to date indicates good well deliverability. We remain vigilant on costs while focusing on increasing cashflow from production. We are excited to build up momentum through the workover campaign and capture the commercial benefit of lower contractor service prices currently prevalent in the market."

Funding - Zeta Deferred Settlement


Oilex Ltd (Oilex or the Company) provides an update on the deferred element of the previously announced capital raising (announcement dated 3 August 2015), being the issue of shares and convertible notes to Zeta Resources Limited (Zeta). Zeta currently has a 10.3% holding in the share capital of Oilex.

Pursuant to arrangements agreed with Zeta, Zeta was to subscribe for:

· A$4,243,500 of 20 year, zero coupon unsecured convertible loan notes, convertible into Oilex shares at Zeta's option at any time (subject to compliance with Australian law), at a conversion price of A$0.0418 per share, by no later than 11 November 2015 (the Convertible Notes); and

· 124,019,608 new ordinary shares at a price of A$0.0418 per share, to enable the issue of those shares to be settled by no later than 12 November 2015 (the Deferred Shares).

As at the date of this announcement, Zeta has failed to settle the subscription for the Convertible Notes. Oilex will be considering, together with its external legal counsel, the remedies available to it arising out of Zeta's failure to settle the Convertible Notes.

Zeta has alleged that the Company has failed to disclose material information to it prior to its initial investment and has contravened statutory provisions relating to misleading or deceptive conduct and continuous disclosure and rights issue disclosure requirements. Whilst Zeta has at this stage only provided limited information to the Company regarding the basis of these allegations, Oilex considers them to be without merit and they will be vigorously defended.

The Board of Oilex is considering the full implications and options to progress the development of the Cambay Field, as a consequence of Zeta failing to settle the subscription of the Convertible Notes.

Operations Update - Cambay JV

In light of the change in Oilex's funding arrangements, as announced earlier today, it is likely that the commencement of the approved 2 well drilling programme will be delayed. The Company also advises that our joint venture partner (JVP), has formally indicated to Oilex that it wishes to vary the approved work programme by flowing Cambay-77H for a period of six continuous months before embarking on the approved 2 well drilling campaign.

This variation has not been agreed by Oilex and discussions are ongoing in relation to this matter. Any change to the approved work programme for the joint venture agreed between the parties would require subsequent approval by the Government of India (GOI), under the terms of the Cambay Production Sharing Contract, and would be announced to the market at that time.

Therefore, should Oilex's funding arrangements be resolved it is possible that the commencement of the approved 2 well drilling campaign may be further delayed as a result of the change to the work programme, subject to the approval of the GOI.

Discussions continue regarding the joint venture cash calls owed by the JVP, which as at 31 October 2015 amount to ~US$7.7 million, an increase from 30 June 2015 of ~US$1.6 million.

Consideration is being given to a range of proposals that have been put forward by both parties. These discussions are incomplete at this time. However, the Board is focussed on finding a solution that will enable the approved work programme to move forward.

IMO both OEX and Zeta should grow up and settle their differences amicably and in compliance with Gov of India, without all the Aussie courtroom drama.

With India fast becoming a huge O&G consumer over the next few decades, both OEX & Zeta stand to benefit substantially from their partnership. OR is there more to this than meets the eye; are strategic and tactical moves being played out in pursuit of 'A Cunning Plan'.

Something does not smell right in this sudden turn of events.
