Victoria Oil & Gas Plc
("VOG" or "the Company")
 
Update on Logbaba Participation Agreement and Bomono Project
 
SNH Participation in Logbaba
 
Victoria Oil & Gas is pleased to announce that Societe Nationale des Hydrocarbures ("SNH"), RSM Production Company ("RSM") and Gaz du Cameroun S.A. ("GDC") have agreed and signed a Participation Agreement that will govern the relationship of the parties going forward on the Logbaba Project (the "Project").
 
Project participation, prior to the Participation Agreement, was split GDC 60% and RSM 40%. The Participation Agreement formalises the participation of SNH, acting on behalf of the Republic of Cameroon, alongside GDC and RSM. The Participation Agreement follows SNH exercising its right to participate in 5% of the Project and, accordingly, Project participation as a result of the execution of the Participation Agreement will be split GDC 57%, RSM 38% and SNH 5%.
 
SNH is entitled to a 5% share of revenues from the sale of all hydrocarbons from the Project and is also liable for 5% of exploitation costs of the Project. The parties have agreed, in accordance with the Participation Agreement, for SNH to conduct an audit of the exploitation costs for the Project to determine the Participation settlement.
 
Bomono
 
Victoria Oil & Gas Plc today announces that it has exercised its option to extend the termination date of the farm-out agreement ("Farm-out") with Bowleven Plc ("Bowleven") relating to the Bomono production sharing contract. The termination date has been extended to 28 September 2017. Bowleven and VOG wish to pursue the Farm-out and are working with the Government of Cameroon to progress the Bomono project.
 
Full terms of the Farm-out can be found on the RNS announcement of 6th March 2017 made by Bowleven and VOG.  
 
Ahmet Dik, CEO, said; "I am delighted that we can now formally share our energy success story on a commercial basis with the Cameroon Government.  The Cameroon Government has supported and set the conditions by which GDC has been able to operate and invest in excess of US$250m, and encouraged new investors into Douala to establish their businesses. Our team looks forward to building on the excellent working relationship we have with the SNH team and I thank and extend my gratitude to Mr Adolphe Moudiki, Executive General Manager of SNH for the contribution SNH has made to the oil and gas sector in Cameroon.

Cameroon takes stake in Victoria Oil and Gas's Logbaba project
04 Jul, 2017 

(ShareCast News) - Cameroon's state hydrocarbon company decided to tap directly into Victoria Oil&Gas's Logbaba project, exercising its right to take a stake via a participation agreement.



The deal formalised SNH's involvement on behalf of the government of Cameroon alongside Gaz du Cameroun, Victoria's wholly-owned subsidiary, and RSM production company in the Logbaba on shore gas project.

Under the terms of the agreement, Victoria would have a 57% interest in the sale of all hydrocarbons from Logbaba, compared to 60% previously, with RSM entitled to 38% and SNH to 5%.

Following an audit of the exploitation costs, SNH would also have to compensate its partners for a part of the funds invested thus far.

"The Cameroon Government has supported and set the conditions by which GDC has been able to operate and invest in excess of US$250m, and encouraged new investors into Douala to establish their businesses," said Ahmet Dik, Victoria's chief executive officer.

Analysts at Shore Capital concurred, telling clients they expected commercial state participation in Logbaba to be "very supportive" of further development of the flagship project.

GDC was supplying gas from Logbaba to businesses in Douala, Cameroon's main business hub, via an integrated gas supply network.

According to Victoria, those supplies were not only cost effective, reliable, safe and cleaner than liquid fuel alternatives, they also provided the entire economy of Cameroon with stable energy.

In the same announcement, VOG confirmed it had chosen to extend the termination date of its farm-in agreement with rival Bowleven for the Bomono project to late September 2017.

ShoreCap described Bomono as "highly accretive and provides an excellent strategic fit for VOG as the company consolidates its dominant position in the Douala region".

Dik, expressed excitement about the deal reached with SNH, saying "I am delighted that we can now formally share our energy success story on a commercial basis with the Cameroon Government".

"Our team looks forward to building on the excellent working relationship we have with the SNH team and I thank and extend my gratitude to Mr Adolphe Moudiki, Executive General Manager of SNH for the contribution SNH has made to the oil and gas sector in Cameroon".

Q2 2017 Operations Update
31 Jul 2017
 
Victoria Oil & Gas Plc, a Cameroon based gas producer and distributor, is pleased to provide an update on the Group's operations for the three months ended 30 June 2017.


Highlights

Production

.11.9% increase in gross average gas production from Logbaba to 14.59mmscf/d (Q2 2016: 13.04mmscf/d) 

.Gross Logbaba gas sales increased to 1,192mmscf for the quarter (Q2 2016: 1,151mmscf)

Drilling new wells

.Completion, flow testing and network supply input at well La-107 is scheduled for Q3 2017

.Well La-107, as of 30 July 2017,  has been drilled to 2914m Measured Depth (“MD”), and 2901m Total Vertical Depth (“TVD”) and a 7” liner has been run to 2,440m (2,426m TVD) and cemented in place

.Well La-107 has, to date, encountered a net pay of 35m of high permeability, high porosity gas bearing sands in the Upper Logbaba Formation, slightly more than was expected, based on the La-104 logs. Preliminary results indicate that a further 15m of net gas sand has been encountered in La-107 in the Lower Logbaba Formation

.Engineering design work has been completed to allow La-108 to be side-tracked, through the Logbaba Formation, to access the 100m of gas sands found in the original La-108 wellbore. Drilling will commence after the completion of La-107

Financial highlights

Q2 (unaudited) financial highlights:
$7.8 million net revenue (Q1 2017: $8.1million) 
$7.6 million cash position at quarter end (Q1 2017: $10.5 million)
$20.7 million net debt position at quarter end (Q1 2017: $10.7 million)
5% Cameroonian State participation in Logbaba; 3% relinquished by Gaz du Cameroun S.A. (“GDC”)
 
Ahmet Dik, Chief Executive Officer of VOG, commented:  
“I am pleased that in this period we delivered further positive drilling results, particularly from La-107. The detection of an additional 15m of gas-bearing reservoir sands in the Lower Logbaba and the planned production flow testing at La-107 are encouraging signs as we take the first steps towards our longer-term objective of producing 100mmscf/d. 

Once we flow test La-107, VOG plans to enter into long term gas supply agreements with large offtake customers.

The onshore field development programme at Matanda is progressing well, presenting VOG with an exciting opportunity to develop gas supply for sale from sources with low capex exposure.”

Operational update

The quarterly gross and net gas and condensate consumptions, for Logbaba and GDC, are as follows; amounts in bold are gas and condensate sales attributable to GDC*:

Continued...........

Logbaba Drilling Programme

At the end of Q2 2017, a 7” liner was run and cemented in well La-107 at 2,440m MD (2,426m TVD). Post period end, La-107 has continued drilling in a 6” hole from the 7” liner shoe to a current depth as of 30 July 2017 of 2914m MD.

As previously announced Well La-107 has, so far, encountered a net pay of 35m of high permeability, high porosity gas bearing sands in the Upper Logbaba Formation, slightly more than was expected based on the La-104 logs.

In the La-107 6” hole section that is currently being drilled through the Lower Logbaba Formation, preliminary LWD (Logging While Drilling) data indicates that approximately 15m of net gas sand has been encountered.

The drilling programme has taken longer than expected due to the problems encountered in well La-108. First well completion, at well La-107, is targeted for Q3 2017 with flow testing and tie in to the process plant scheduled at the same time.
Following commercial completion of La-107, sidetrack drilling will recommence at La-108 where approximately 100m of net gas-bearing sands have been encountered between the top of the Logbaba Formation at 1,670m TVD and at 2,702m TVD. This programme will allow the Company to bring gas online imminently for sale from La-107 and then develop further capacity from La-108.

ENEO and Power Consumer Update
 
During the quarter, the Company announced that it had extended the current gas supply agreement with ENEO Cameroon S.A. (“ENEO”), the Cameroon energy joint venture between UK Group Actis and the Cameroon Government, until 31 December 2017.

The parties are currently developing the technical and financial elements of a long-term gas supply arrangement aimed at increasing the current contractual power supply of 50MW to beyond 100MW.

The take-or-pay components will remain in place and until year end; an interim gas price of US$7.50/mmbtu has been agreed.  GDC estimates demand for gas in Douala at around 150mmscf/d, and supply is limited to what GDC can produce.  Once the La-107 flow test is complete, the Company is confident it will execute a number of long term- high volume gas supply agreements with local companies.

Participation Agreement

As announced on 4 July 2017, the Company entered into a Participation Agreement, enabling SNH to take up a 5% participating interest in the Logbaba Project.
As a result, with effect from 12 June 2017 the Group’s participating interest has reduced from 60% to 57% to accommodate SNH’s interest.

Matanda Exploration Update (75% participating interest and operator)
Work continues on definition and evaluation of the on-block prospect inventory. The work will form the basis of a drilling campaign, with an objective to commence drilling operations during Q4 2018 / Q1 2019.

Analyses conducted during the quarter have led the Subsurface Team, in conjunction with Management, to prioritise the drilling of shallower, lower pressure targets than those in Logbaba. The ability to unlock long term gas supply from this substantial block with reduced capital and operational expenditure is significant and an exciting prospect for the Company.

Sam Metcalfe, the Company's Subsurface Manager has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this announcement.

Victoria Oil & Gas Plc
("VOG" or "the Company")

Confirmation of Reduction of Capital

Victoria Oil & Gas Plc, a Cameroon energy utility, is pleased to announce that the Court has made an order approving the reduction of the Company's capital, under the Companies Act 2006, (the "Reduction of Capital") at a hearing on 26 July 2017.

Details of the Reduction of Capital were set out in the circular to shareholders, dated 25 May 2017, and the proposal was approved by shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on 28 June 2017.

The order of the Court and statement of capital have been delivered to and registered by the Registrar of Companies on 28 July 2017.

The Reduction of Capital is now effective, the result of which is the cancellation of all issued deferred shares in the capital of the Company and the cancellation of the Company's share premium account.

The Reduction of Capital does not change the number of issued ordinary shares of 0.5 pence each in the capital of the Company, which remains at 110,571,762.

Victoria Oil & Gas 

Quarterly update time from VOG and things continue to go well across the board, Logbaba gas production had a good quarter, up 11.9% to 14.59 mmscf/d. At La-107 net pay of 35m of high permeability, high porosity gas bearing sands in the Upper Logbaba Formation was slightly better than expected whilst a further 15m of net gas sand has been encountered in the Lower Logbaba Formation. After drilling has been completed here they are going to do the sidetrack on La-108 to access the 100m of gas sands in the original 108 wellbore.

Finances are good despite the cost overrun talked about last time, $7.8m net revenue, $7.6m of cash and $20.7m of net debt as predicted after the recent delay. After La 107 has been flow tested, VOG plans to enter into a number of long-term GSA’s with large offtake customers whilst continuing to supply ENEO under the take or pay agreement. Longer term it is envisaged that an agreement can be reached ‘increasing the current contractual power supply of 50MW to beyond 100MW’. On my recent visit to Cameroon and GDC, I was particularly impressed  not just by the ENEO potential but the way that significant customers in Douala are coming to rely on gas from VOG. Finally the company report that the onshore field development work at Matanda is progressing well, saying that there is an “exciting opportunity to develop gas supply for sale from sources with low capex exposure.” I remain convinced that VOG is not yet properly judged by the market and should be back to the 80p high and then some.

Cameroon: Railway viaduct over Wouri River commissioned
Aug 01, 2017

APA – Douala (Cameroon)

The process of commissioning a second bridge over the Wouri River in Douala has taken an important step, with the opening of a railway viaduct, APA can report from Cameroon’s commercial capital on Tuesday.



The opening of the railway track was marked by the running of a freight train, towing fuel tanks and about ten containers on its wagons which plied the state-of-the-art infrastructure.

This represents a decisive step in the execution of such a major project for a second bridge over the Wouri River.

The development of this segment of the railway is not the only visible sign of transformation on the site.

The project has witnessed important progress with a visible layer of bitumen now above the river, perched on concrete shoulders.

Apart from the rail, the completion of the viaduct and access section of the existing bridge are scheduled for 31 December 2017, while the commissioning of the roadwork on the second one is due for 31 October.

Works on the second bridge over the Wouri River are estimated to cost CFA 141.6 billion.

CFA 38 billion of this amount is for the railway viaduct.

Cameroon Emerges as Africa Battlefield for Big Cement Makers
By Divine Ntaryike Jr
‎May‎ ‎10‎, ‎2017‎ ‎11‎:‎00‎ ‎PM Updated on ‎May‎ ‎11‎, ‎2017‎ ‎1‎:‎57‎ ‎PM


Dangote, Addoha starting to expand production capacity

Market has opened up after breaking of LafargeHolcim monopoly

Cameroon is fast becoming a battleground for international cement makers drawn by an abundance of major infrastructure projects and the end of a monopoly long held by LafargeHolcim Ltd.

Dangote Cement Plc, Africa’s largest producer of the building material, and Morocco’s Douja Promotion Groupe Addoha SA have both announced an expansion of production capacity in the central African country this year, challenging Cimenteries du Cameroun, a unit of the world’s biggest cement maker, LafargeHolcim. Demand for cement is estimated to grow 8 percent a year by 2020 from 3 percent now, according to Trade Minister Luc-Magloire Mbarga Atangana.

“Not only is the essential building material now sufficiently available even in the remotest hinterlands, production trends are steadily sloping uphill,” Mbarga Atangana said in a May 5 interview in Yaounde, the capital. “Our country is currently under construction with major infrastructure projects including ports, dams, bridges, roads, stadiums and housing.”

The arrival in Cameroon of three foreign cement makers -- the other is Medcem, a unit of Turkey’s Eren Holding -- since the end of Cimenteries du Cameroun’s monopoly in 2012 has come alongside economic growth of 4.4 percent last year, compared with a sub-Saharan African average of 1.4 percent, according to the International Monetary Fund. Projects include the more than 300-kilometer (186 mile) dual-lane highway between Yaounde and Douala, the commercial capital, and a deep-water port in Kribi, a southern coastal town.

As the 2019 host of the Africa Cup of Nations soccer tournament, Cameroon’s government is also spending heavily on stadiums. There’s also a shortage of housing, with the urbanization rate in the country at about 3.5 percent.

Annual cement production stands at 4.2 million metric tons, according to the Ministry of Trade, compared with 1.6 million tons three years ago. That’s before including planned expansion projects, the latest of which was announced by Addoha unit Ciment de l’Afrique last week.

Cimaf, as the company is known, said May 4 it plans to triple the production capacity of its factory in Douala to 1.5 million tons by 2018 to become “a key player” in Cameroon and an exporter to neighboring countries including Gabon, the Central African Republic and Chad. For its part, Cimenteries du Cameroun last year started building a third plant in the country, at Nomayos, near the capital.

Meanwhile, Lagos-based Dangote Cement has this year started construction of a $150 million plant with annual capacity of 1.5-million tons in Yaounde, part of the company’s strategy of expanding outside its home market of Nigeria.

Dangote has been growing market share in Cameroon over the past two years, Paavo Wiro, the company’s country manager, said in an interview. The producer was forced to buy 200 trucks because local truckers initially didn’t want to work with the Nigerian cement maker, he said.

“At the start of 2016, the interest from the local truckers grew again and they came to us,” Wiro said.

Logbaba Drilling Update

Victoria Oil & Gas Plc is pleased to provide an update on the Group's drilling operations, which are managed by Gaz du Cameroon ("GDC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of VOG.

Highlights:

· Well La-107 successfully reaches target depth of 3,180m measured depth (MD)

· Additional 23m of net gas sand from Lower Logbaba Formation brings total net gas sand encountered in Upper and Lower Logbaba Formations to 58m.

· Liner run and cemented to case off well to depth of 3,177m

· Flow tests planned and La-107 expected to be a producing well by end September

Logbaba Drilling Update

As of 16 August, Well La-107 has been successfully drilled to its planned TD of the 6" hole section at 3,180m MD (3,166m total vertical depth) where the base of the Logbaba Formation was encountered. The 4½" liner has been run and cemented to case off the Lower Logbaba Formation. Production completion is now commencing, after which the rig will be released from the well.

Preliminary analysis of the 107 logs indicates that we have encountered 35m of net gas sand in the Upper Logbaba Formation, as previously announced, plus 23m of net gas sand in the Lower Logbaba Formation.

The production test is expected to commence in the first week of September and, by the end of September, the Board expects that La-107 should be tied in as a production well to the Logbaba production facility.

Following release from La-107, the rig will skid to Well La-108, where sidetrack drilling will recommence. Approximately 100m of net gas-bearing sands have to date been encountered between the top of the Logbaba Formation at 1,670m TVD and at 2,702m TVD at La-108.

GDC's plan is to progressively develop additional gas supplies from Logbaba from wells La-105, La-107 and La-108 over the next 6 months. Following the flow tests from La-107, this well can then be placed into production to supplement gas from La-105. The Board believes that the additional reserves expected from La-107 and La-108 will also allow GDC to conclude longer term contracts with Douala based high-usage gas customers.

Ahmet Dik, CEO, said: "Target depth has been reached at La-107 and the well has been cased and is expected to be a substantial producer. New gas supply is expected to come online during Q3 2017 and this should allow GDC to finalise contracts with high usage customers we have been in discussion with over the past months. It is very satisfying to have over 50m of net gas sands in La-107 "behind pipe" and I would like to congratulate the drilling team on the safe delivery of this well."

Victoria Oil & Gas latest Cameroon well should be production by the end of next month
07:48 17 Aug 2017

La-107 had successfully reached its target depth of 3,180 metres



Victoria Oil & Gas plc (LON:VOG) gas well on the outskirts of Cameroon’s second city of Douala is expected to be a “significant” producer, according to the company’s chief executive Ahmet Dik.

His comments accompanied a drilling update in which it was confirmed La-107 had successfully reached its target depth of 3,180 metres.

In doing so it encountered an additional 23 metres of net gas sand since the last update. It brings to the total in the lower and upper Logbaba formations to 58 metres.

Production by the end of September

A liner has been run and cemented to case off well and flow tests are planned with the aim of getting the well producing by the end of September.

CEO Dik said: "Target depth has been reached at La-107 and the well has been cased and is expected to be a substantial producer.

“New gas supply is expected to come online during the third quarter and this should allow [us] to finalise contracts with high usage customers we have been in discussion with over the past months.

“It is very satisfying to have over 50 metres of net gas sands in La-107 ‘behind pipe’ and I would like to congratulate the drilling team on the safe delivery of this well."

Cameroon: A new well drilled by the British VOG on the Logbaba gas field will go into production in September 2017
