Gas in pipeline pressurised to Eneo Power Stations
Adapted from press release by Hannah Priestley-Eaton
Published on 04/02/2015

Victoria Oil & Gas Plc has announced that Gaz du Cameroun S.A. (GDC), its wholly owned subsidiary, has successfully completed pipeline pressure testing up to the boundaries of the Bassa and Logbaba power stations located in the port-city of Douala, Cameroon. GDC will now commence installing pressure reduction and metering units at both stations.

The next significant phase of the project involves the delivery and installation of gas fired power generation sets (Gensets) to the power stations. The Gensets are being shipped to Cameroon by Altaaqa Alternative Solutions Projects DWC-LLC ("ltaaqa). Upon arrival in Douala, ENEO Cameroon S.A., Cameroon's power utility company, will take responsibility for expediting the Gensets through the port to both power plants. Once the Gensets are on site, Altaaqa will install and commission the Gensets at Bassa and Logbaba.

ENEO requires both power stations to be on line and delivering 50MW by the end of Q1 2015, and GDC is on target to complete all of its deliverables before that deadline. Following commissioning of the Gensets, GDC’s obligation will be to supply gas to the 20MW and 30MW power stations in Douala. All operations and maintenance responsibilities for the Gensets remain with Altaaqa and ENEO.

GDC signed binding term sheets with ENEO on 24 December 2014 to supply gas with guaranteed minimum take or pay levels of 9 million ft3/d in the January-June dry season and 3 million ft3/d in the July-December wet season. The agreement with ENEO is a major gas supply contract for GDC in terms of scale and profitability at a fixed US$9/million btu over the two year contract term. The contract can be extended by mutual agreement.

Oil price, Victoria Oil & Gas, Sundry-Ruspetro-Afren, and finally…
Posted on 13 February 2015 by Malcy

Victoria Oil & Gas

The chance to spend some time with Kevin Foo, Chairman and acting CEO of VOG is always time well spent particularly at the moment as he is overseeing the denouement of a long period of investment. VOG is an onshore gas supplier to industrial customers in Cameroon via its business Gaz du Cameroun. What has really made the difference is the signing of the GSA with ENEO, Cameroon’s energy utility company which doubles VOG’s revenue by supplying gas to two power stations that will generate 50 MW and take the gas at $9/mmbtu on a 2 year fixed price contract. There is a difference between supplying gas in the dry and wet seasons but I am led to believe that it will even out in due course.

The point about VOG is that it really is a utility, or as the blurb puts it, ‘an operating African utility’ and with exciting opportunities to drill more wells and with what looks like a massive market out there to aim at, the upside from here seems entirely logical. That market has been using other energy sources which are mainly imported, expensive fuel oils which are neither sufficient for Cameroons needs nor anything like as efficient giving a local gas producer very much an open goal. Cameroon in general and Douala specifically, face a significant energy shortfall and VOG is the sole supplier of gas in an increasingly large central African hub. Whats not to like about being the sole supplier of gas, with a strong cash position, a range of energy products and a good client base in a market crying out for your product? Just as a btw, investors should watch out for Bowleven who will be drilling nearby, if successful there’s plenty of room in this market, as the song should have said ‘this town is big enough for the both of us…’ -

Not sure how genuine this post is from LSE,so please take with a pinch of salt


RE: also can he answer the followin.. Today 15:47

Bate
Hi , just had a chat to Mr Read , same question rodlin asked him as he said it got mentioned yesterday ,LOL , Dangote hasnt started full production due to the loader which has been sorted now , i mentioned about the power house near or has been completed , he said that is great news and keep a close eye on that ,
also asked if Dangote would be breakeven for VOG on finances , pretty sure it will .
Gensets for the power stations , Well no delays what so ever , everything is well on target all teams are very happy with the operation , asked will there be any delays with the gensets he said no , i did mention that someone on the bb said the gensets were at the port just over a week ago he replyed that would not have come from VOG they are not saying anything where abouts they were or are , you will get the update when they are connected , so interesting one there ,
yearly update next week , not a lot you will already know as all new connections and operations will come from new rns`s , it may just clarify a few matters but will be detailed .
as for phase3 lets all concertrate on the 2 power stations at present then an operation update to the next stage will be updated . um .
Institutions , we have had them buying in lately .
maybe it was a bit of a dificult to add to much at this stage as it is getting a bit sensitive and a lot of investors are digging , i can certainly understand that with the power stations it`s a big mile stone for VOG .
But it is all looking very promising with what he was saying .
well not a lot we didnt already know . maybe thats the best way . GLA never know there maybe an rns tomorrow .

· Capital Reorganisation, including 40 to 1 share consolidation

· West Medvezhye - decision taken to fully impair asset, write down of $49.8 million



Operational Highlights for Accounting Period and to Present



· Gas to power proof of concept established - first customer installations June 2014

· Pipe laying and network infrastructure work outsourced under a cost per metre fixed price agreement from July 2014

· Completions of first thermal gas connections on the Bonaberi shore in December 2014 after the gas pipeline network was extended under the Wouri River

· Legally binding term sheet signed with ENEO Cameroon S.A. ("ENEO") to supply two major power stations under a two year minimum 'take-or-pay' contract at a fixed price of $9/mmbtu

Kevin Foo, Executive Chairman, said: "The VOG and GDC teams excelled during 2014 and achieved all our stated objectives. I am proud to confirm that GDC has substantially completed its scope of work for the ENEO project construction phase and safely built and tested gas pipelines to both stations. We have issued a completion certificate for the Bassa power station and expect to complete the Logbaba power station within two weeks. The project is scheduled to be online by the end of Q1 2015 and if this is achieved, as we expect, it will represent a remarkable success for the GDC, ENEO and Altaaqa teams. Progressing from signing legally binding terms sheets in late December 2014 to delivering 50MW to the grid approximately three months later is outstanding.



Concerning our 100% owned Russian property, West Medvezhye, we have continued to pursue ways to derive value for this asset, through farm-out, joint venture or sale. West Medvezhye has significant gas and gas condensate reserves but the current state of relations between Russia and the West, combined with a low oil price, makes near-term development of the asset challenging and we believe divestiture is a more prudent course. With our focus on Cameroon, the Board has taken the decision to fully impair the Russian asset, writing it down by $49.8 million. We shall of course continue to seek partners to derive full value from the asset."

Victoria Oil writes off Russia as Cameroon earnings climb
By Philip Whiterow
February 27 2015, 4:16pm

African utility group Victoria Oil & Gas (LON:VOG) is writing off its Russian gas operation amid political tension between Russia and the West.

VOG has decided to fully impair its West Medvezhye asset by US$49.8mln to focus on its gas supply operations in Cameroon.

The company has considered a potential farm-out, joint venture or sale for West Medvezhye, which it said had significant gas and gas condensate reserves.

But it added: “The current state of relations between Russia and the West, combined with a low oil price, makes near-term development of the asset challenging and we believe divestiture is a more prudent course. We shall of course continue to seek partners to derive full value from the asset."

VOG posted revenue for the six months to November 30 of US$11.6mln against US$6mln a year ago while net pre-tax earnings before interest, depreciation and amortisation were $1.4mln versus $200,000 last time.

The company's subsidiary, Gaz du Cameroun (GDC), supplies gas to industries in the Douala region of Cameroon from its onshore Logbaba gas project. It expects to complete development of a power station at the scheme within a fortnight.

Executive chairman Kevin Foo said: “The project is scheduled to be online by the end of the first quarter of 2015 and if this is achieved, as we expect, it will represent a remarkable success.”

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board I am pleased to report our unaudited results for the six months to 30 November 2014 and to update you on company developments beyond the financial period.

During the six months to 30 November 2014, the Group's objectives were to:


· Increase gas production and to make Gaz du Cameroun S.A. ("GDC") operationally cash positive;

· Strengthen our Board and corporate profile;

· Stabilise operations and processes and develop our people within the Group;

· Build strong working relationships with our Logbaba partners RSM Production Corporation ("RSM") and Société Nationale des Hydrocarbures ("SNH");

· Secure major new supply contracts involving power generation for the National Grid in Cameroon.

The management teams of Victoria Oil & Gas Plc ("VOG" or "the Company") and GDC excelled during 2014, meeting all of the above objectives for the reporting period and delivering positive results in the areas of engineering, sales and corporate developments.



Logbaba Gas Project, Cameroon

Following extensive planning and negotiations during the reporting period, GDC signed a legally binding term sheet with ENEO Cameroon S.A. ("ENEO"), Cameroon's integrated utility company, in late December 2014, to supply gas to two power stations, located in the city of Douala. Logbaba and Bassa power stations will generate up to 50MW from Gensets, supplied by Altaaqa Alternative Solutions Projects DWC‑LLC ("Altaaqa"). The agreement includes 'take-or-pay' consumption rates and allows GDC to establish a secure level of gas sales at an attractive price of $9/mmbtu. The power stations' minimum gas consumption will be approximately 9mmscf/d in the January-June dry season and 3mmscf/d in the July‑December wet season. The contract is for two years and extendable by mutual agreement. This project could treble GDC's current gas production. We expect average annual production for the 2015 calendar year to be about 10.4mmscf/d.



In the release of our 2014 Annual Report we quoted our 7 day week July 2014 production of 3.9mmscf/d at GDC. Since then, from August 2014 to January 2015 inclusive, our monthly average daily rate based on a 7 day week has ranged from 3.9 to 4.4mmscf/d. For the same period our monthly average daily rate based on a 5 day working week has ranged from 4.1 to 4.6mmscf/d and the monthly daily peak production rates have ranged from 4.5 to 5.3mmscf/d.



I am proud to report that GDC has substantially completed its scope of work for the ENEO project construction phase and safely built and tested gas pipelines to both stations. We have issued a completion certificate for the Bassa station and expect to complete the Logbaba station within two weeks. The project is scheduled to be online by the end of Q1 2015 and if this is achieved, as we expect, it will represent a remarkable success for the GDC, ENEO and Altaaqa teams. Progressing from signing legally binding terms sheets in late December 2014 to delivering 50MW to the grid approximately three months later is outstanding.



The period was not without its challenges, such as securing the release of gas-fired electricity generations sets ("Gensets") from the local customs and the delay on the Wouri River crossing. However GDC now has access to a wide base of thermal gas customers on the Bonaberi side of the river. GDC is also in the process of making final connections to the Dangote cement plant, a business located on the Douala shore and a major thermal supply customer. Total pipe laid to date in Douala is now 31.3km.



During the period, VOG maintained a good working relationship with Logbaba Field development partners RSM and SNH. Following a settlement agreement between VOG and RSM in January 2014, a cost review process overseen by Akintola Williams Deloitte, Nigeria was undertaken to look at retrospective development expenditure. The review resulted in RSM paying significant development contributions ($10.1 million) and both companies are now working together to unlock the full potential of the Logbaba Field. An additional $6.9 million was received from RSM in February 2015.



One of the most important tasks undertaken during 2014 was the development of our people. At the beginning of the reporting period, we appointed a business-training company, Gallop Solutions International Ltd, to work with us to create an effective workforce with the right skill sets to deliver value for VOG. Our teams within VOG and GDC are now a cohesive, effective team working to build cash flow and a brand synonymous with safe, reliable gas supply.





Post period, in January 2015, the GDC subsurface team successfully conducted a rigless workover of Well La-106. The work utilised specialist coiled tubing, high-pressure pumping and wireline equipment to perform cement remediation work on the well. Initial well flow-tests of Well La-106 were at 5 to 6mmscf/d and the well can provide back-up for Well La-105.



In February 2015, we took the opportunity to utilise the specialist equipment and personnel used on the Well La-106 workover to add perforations to Well La-105. We perforated the sands above the Upper Logbaba D Sand, which has been our main producing reservoir in La-105 since start-up. In total, 57 metres of additional perforations were shot. After shooting the perforations, a production log was run in Well La‑105 to determine the contributions of the new zones to flow and a baseline for future logs. The newly perforated zones are performing well and will significantly contribute to production in the future as the lower sands deplete.



The Company is also making plans for the drilling of future wells at Logbaba that are aimed at increasing reserves and production to meet the growing gas demand in Cameroon.



In operations, VOG will make a number of key decisions over the next six months concerning where best to allocate gas supply. With strong increased demand rates expected in the first half of 2015, through the ENEO deal, the Board is now looking at the most effective ways to increase both margin and consumption within GDC.

Victoria Oil & Gas Plc

GDC-ENEO Pipeline Installation and Genset Update, Cameroon



· Gaz du Cameroun completes all pipeline and metering installation to Bassa and Logbaba power plants ahead of schedule, meeting all contractual obligations

· Pipeline now "gassed up" and completion certificates issued

· Twenty two Gensets with a combined capacity of 28.6MW arrived at Douala port and cleared customs - sixteen of these (20.8 MW) now onsite at Bassa power station and six (7.8MW) at Logbaba power station

· Seventeen Gensets (22.1 MW) scheduled to arrive in Douala on March 15 2015

· Target date for commissioning of both plants (50MW) remains end March 2015



Victoria Oil & Gas Plc announces that Gaz du Cameroun S.A. ("GDC"), its wholly owned subsidiary, has issued completion certificates to ENEO Cameroon S.A. ("ENEO"), Cameroon's power utility company, for all pipeline construction work and pressure reduction and metering stations ("PRMS") at both the Logbaba and Bassa power stations located in the port-city of Douala, Cameroon.



The work has been completed ahead of the scheduled 15 March 2015 target date and GDC is ready to connect to the gas-fired electricity generations sets ("Gensets") that are being installed by equipment partner, Altaaqa Alternative Solutions Projects DWC-LLC ("Altaaqa").



Approximately 1.4km of 400mm diameter pipeline was connected from the Magzi - Bassa valve station, of which 1.3km was open trenching and 100m horizontal directional drilling. Traffic management was the most challenging aspect of this work as the Logbaba road forms part of the main arterial route from Logbaba into the city of Douala. The two PRMS units, each weighing 5 tonnes, were supplied, assembled and tested by ELSTER UK, while all special components and instrumentation were engineered from ELSTER Germany.



The pipeline pressure tests, consisting of hydrostatic tests (10.5 bar for 2 hours) and pneumatic tests (7 bar for 5 days) were successfully completed and certified by Veritas. The pipeline is now "gassed up" and ready for delivery of gas. The completion of these milestones confirms that GDC has met all of its contractual responsibilities under the Construction Term Sheet signed by GDC and ENEO on 29 December 2014.



Twenty two Gensets with a combined net capacity of 28.6MW for the project have arrived and been cleared through Cameroon Customs by Altaaqa and ENEO at Douala Port. Sixteen of these Gensets (20.8 MW) are now onsite at the Bassa power station and six units (7.8 MW) at the Logbaba power station for installation by Altaaqa. The remaining seventeen Gensets (22.1 MW), are scheduled to arrive in Douala on 15 March 2015 and will be installed at Logbaba station. Target completion date for installation and commissioning of the total 50MW remains the end of March 2015.



Kevin Foo, Executive Chairman, said: "I am very pleased to announce GDC has completed construction of the gas pipelines and metering plant to the Logbaba and Bassa Power Stations, ahead of schedule. This is a significant milestone for us and represents the final step prior to actual delivery of gas to the power stations. I thank every member of our team who contributed to this effort. We look forward to the installation of the Gensets by Altaaqa and being online by the end of the month."
