Victoria Oil & Gas hit as major gas customer deal expires
08:09 08 Jan 2018

“VOG believes this is a temporary issue and expects a resolution in the short to medium term.”

757z468_1515399154_oil-and-gas-well-dril

Victoria Oil & Gas plc (LON:VOG), in a statement after Friday’s market close, revealed that an arrangement with one of its gas customers in Cameroon has expired.

The company told investors that ENEO Cameroon informed VOG subsidiary Gaz du Cameroun (GDC) that it is not currently in a position to extend a gas supply agreement which expired at the end of 2017, and as such the customer has stopped receiving gas from the company.

“ENEO is actively discussing potential solutions to this situation with the Government of Cameroon and the Power Regulator in Cameroon,” VOG explained.

“VOG believes this is a temporary issue and expects a resolution in the short to medium term.”

“ENEO has advised the company that it faces considerable uncertainties in terms of generation costs that can be passed on as tariffs to end users, large payment arrears from the Cameroon Government and doubts over long term power payment security.”

VOG added that it does not believe ENEO will be able to underwrite the financial aspects of a contract extension at this time.

ENEO had been taking some 53% of the gas from VOG’s Logbaba field, and as such the AIM-quoted company noted that the suspension of supply to ENEO would “clearly directly affect GDC in the short term” though it added that the remainder of its customer base is diverse and it continues to work with those customers to place newly available gas.

VOG has been advancing new drilling to expand its supply capacity in Cameroon, with the recent La-108 well at Logbaba beating expectations.

The company added that ENEO currently owes GDC some US$8.7mln gross, and it said it expect to be paid in due course.

It is now anticipated that VOG will immediately carry out an assessment of the Company's capital projects and its wider budget and cash flow forecasts, in light of the ENEO news.

VOG told investors that it will update on its 2017 performance and its strategy for 2018 later in the current quarter.

Ahmet Dik, VOG chief executive, said: “Cameroon has a very important industrial hub in Douala that has seen significant growth and cross border investment over the last five years, both into manufacturing and the power sector.

“We remain confident that ENEO and the Government will rapidly find a solution that will allow GDC to continue to supply gas to ENEO and to build on the relationships we have developed with all stakeholders over the past three years.”

Dik added: “Cameroon is an area that is in critical need of more power, with an estimated demand in excess of 150mmscf/d of gas in the Douala basin.

“We remain focused on increasing thermal customer demand in Douala whilst also continuing to supply gas to our 30 other customers, building non-grid solutions for its industrial customers and advancing the compressed natural gas business whilst maintaining our strong position as the sole provider to the region."

Electrician Eneo suspend supplies from Gaz du Cameroun
Monday, 08 January 2018


(Invest in Cameroon) - Victoria Oil & Gas (VOG), the parent company of Gaz du Cameroun (GDC), a British company that markets gas produced on the Logbaba field in the Littoral region of the country, announced on 5 last January to have been notified of the decision of Eneo to suspend its gas supply on behalf of the Logbaba plant (50 MW).

The concessionaire of the public utility of electricity in Cameroon was brought to make this decision, one learns in an official communique of VOG, because of the costs and, especially, of its financial difficulties which are consecutive to a debt of approximately 100 billion CFA francs claimed from the state.

From sources internal to the company, the half-masting of the Logbaba gas power plant, following the suspension of gas supplies from GDC, will have no impact on the balance between supply and demand for electricity in Cameroon.

"Logbaba is a temporary source, which is made not to last. This plant was an emergency solution, pending the commissioning of the Lom Pangar and Memve'élé dams. Lom Pangar is already there and can handle the situation, despite a slight drop in the water level recorded in its reservoir in 2017, "says an authorized source.

There may be long term silver linings for Victoria Oil & Gas - expert
15:08 08 Jan 2018

“Whilst losing 53% of one’s business overnight is hardly business school protocol, longer term there is much to be gained from this move,” Malcolm Graham Wood said in a note.

757z468_1515425363_oil-and-gas-well-dril

Looking at the longer term picture, oil companies expert Malcolm Graham Wood reckons there may be some positives to glean for Victoria Oil & Gas plc (LON:VOG) which, for the short-term at least, has lost its largest customer.

VOG, in a statement after market close on Friday, told investors that an arrangement with one of its gas customers in Cameroon has expired. ENEO Cameroon, the customer, informed VOG subsidiary Gaz du Cameroun (GDC) that it was not in a position to extend a gas supply agreement which expired at the end of 2017, and as such the customer has stopped receiving gas from the company.

“ENEO is actively discussing potential solutions to this situation with the Government of Cameroon and the Power Regulator in Cameroon,” VOG explained. “VOG believes this is a temporary issue and expects a resolution in the short to medium term.”

“ENEO has advised the company that it faces considerable uncertainties in terms of generation costs that can be passed on as tariffs to end users, large payment arrears from the Cameroon Government and doubts over long term power payment security.”

VOG added that it does not believe ENEO will be able to underwrite the financial aspects of a contract extension at this time.

ENEO had been taking some 53% of the gas from VOG’s Logbaba field, and as such the AIM-quoted company noted that the suspension of supply to ENEO would “clearly directly affect GDC in the short term.”

It added, however, that its remining customer base is diverse and it continues to work with those customers to place newly available gas.

VOG has been advancing new drilling to expand its supply capacity in Cameroon, with the recent La-108 well at Logbaba beating expectations.

The company added that ENEO currently owes GDC some US$8.7mln gross, and it said it expect to be paid in due course. It is now anticipated that VOG will immediately carry out an assessment of the company's capital projects and its wider budget and cash flow forecasts, in light of the ENEO news.

VOG told investors that it will update on its 2017 performance and its strategy for 2018 later in the current quarter.

“Hardly business school protocol”

“Whilst losing 53% of one’s business overnight is hardly business school protocol, longer term there is much to be gained from this move,” Malcolm Graham Wood said in a note.

He highlights that VOG must now focus on customers that will using the gas for heating to support the company now that the supply to the power generating customer is offline. He also notes that VOG’s subsidiary has so far grown its thermal customer base to over 30, and more are being sought.

“It will, as I have said, accelerate GDC’s move into the thermal customer market which it should be remembered carries a much higher margin, and in future lead to significantly less of a reliance on ENEO,” he said.

“After all the Douala and Cameroon energy blueprint envisages the use of not only Logbaba but Matanda gas for power generation and thermal supply to business customers, it is unlikely that this action will have been fully thought through and may yet prove unwise.

“Having said that it will increase to focus of GDC to engage with other customers across the board and lessen their dependence on a small number of power generators.”

Election year in Cameroon

The oil analyst also noted that it is an election year in Cameroon, and as such he expects the situation may become charged.

“Gas is still, after hydroelectric power, the cheapest fuel for power generation in country and in the dry season increasingly one upon which industry and business has become dependent.

“For this reason one must carefully consider whether the Government, by starving ENEO of money to pay for gas supplies and hence electricity through the grid, is making a wise choice.

“This will result in load shedding and blackouts which would be increasingly unpopular in what we must remember is election year.”

Douala is an important industrial hub

Ahmet Dik, VOG chief executive, said: “Cameroon has a very important industrial hub in Douala that has seen significant growth and cross border investment over the last five years, both into manufacturing and the power sector.

“We remain confident that ENEO and the Government will rapidly find a solution that will allow GDC to continue to supply gas to ENEO and to build on the relationships we have developed with all stakeholders over the past three years.”

Dik added: “Cameroon is an area that is in critical need of more power, with an estimated demand in excess of 150mmscf/d of gas in the Douala basin.

“We remain focused on increasing thermal customer demand in Douala whilst also continuing to supply gas to our 30 other customers, building non-grid solutions for its industrial customers and advancing the compressed natural gas business whilst maintaining our strong position as the sole provider to the region."

Cameroon has suddenly become energy rich!

Cameroon - Central Logbaba: ENEO suspends gas supplies
By Josiane Rose NDANGUE 09-Jan-2018

According to a statement by Victoria Oil & Gas, the parent company of Gaz du Cameroun (GDC), the reason for the suspension is a debt of 100 billion CFA francs that Noo claims to the state.

It is an information that relays the newspaper Le Jour in its edition of January 9, 2018. According to a statement from Victoria Oil & Gas headquarters of Gaz du Cameroun (GDC), the company Eneo has decided to suspend its supplies on behalf of the Centrale de Logbaba. The UK company on January 5, 2018 reported that it had been notified of Eneo's decision. Our colleague reports that, according to this communiqué, the concessionaire of the public electricity service in Cameroon has been pushed to reach the point of suspension for the following reason. The costs and financial difficulties of Eneo which are consecutive to a debt of about 100 billion FCFA claimed to the State of Cameroon.

Our colleague recalls that in mid-December 2017, the Ministry of Finance (MINFI) had to release in favor of Eneo the sum of 15 billion FCFA in advance of its debt raised. " A real breath of fresh air for the power generation and distribution company currently on the brink of financial asphyxiation, " writes the newspaper. From its columns we learn that Enne, having received this money from MINFI, has paid its own debt contracted with its suppliers. The suppliers are Tradex Petroleum Distribution Company, SONARA National Refinery Company and KPDC.

It should be noted that the first two companies generated sometimes supply thermal power stations with fuel. The third company mentioned above is the owner of the Kribi gas station. Sources from our colleague reveal that however, this suspension will have no impact on the balance between supply and demand for electricity in Cameroon. This is because the Lom Pangar hydroelectric dam was commissioned.

Cameroon: Victoria Oil & Gas Reaches 14.6 Million Cubic Feet / Day of Gas on Logbaba Field in H1 2017

1801-10111-cameroun-victoria-oil-gas-a-a

(Invest in Cameroon) - The information is from the National Hydrocarbons Company (SNH), agent of the State of Cameroon in the oil sector. According to unaudited figures, published by Victoria Oil & Gas (VOG), the parent company of the Gaz du Cameroun (GDC) operator, the average gas production, over the first six months of 2017, is 14 , 6 million standard cubic feet (mmscf) per day, on the Logbaba field.

VOG also reports that gas sales amounted to 2,345 mmscf over the period under review, generating revenues of USD 15.4 million. SNH reports that Logbaba field production is expected to grow with the start of gas production at the LA-107 ST1 well on 22 September. This well drilled at more than 3,000 meters, was tested by GDC at a maximum flow of 54 million m3 of gas per day. He was also connected to the gas processing plant in Logbaba.

The drilling rig that performed the work was transferred to drill the LA-108 ST2 well. The operator hopes to reach, thanks to this well, a column of 100 meters net of gaseous sands, for a depth between 2 107 meters and 2 760 meters.

(Invest in Cameroon) - After the energy infrastructure under construction in the country, since 2012, Cameroon will intensify its investments in this sector, so that it can produce between 2000 and 6000 MW of additional electricity by 2030.

At least that is the opinion of the Minister of Water and Energy, Basile Atangana Kouna (photo), who dwelt on the subject, January 30, 2018 in Yaoundé, at the opening of the conference of the heads of the central and decentralized services of the ministerial department for which he is responsible.

Clearly, over the next 12 years, Cameroon must be able to at least double its installed capacity in the electricity sector, which currently barely reaches 1500 MW. The potential exists, but the country will have to take up the thorny challenge of mobilizing funding.

This member of the government has also said that this envelope is up substantially (more than 60%) from the 8.6 billion CFA francs paid to SMEs in 2016.

This government effort, however, represents a tiny part of Cameroonian SMEs' claims on the State, which has become a bad payer, because of the financial difficulties it has faced for at least two years, because of the reduction in public revenue.

The debt demanded of the state by local businesses is so enormous that neither the government nor the companies themselves are able to give the exact volume of it. Hence the current audit announced recently by the Minister of Finance.

Cameroon secures aid to stabilize electricity sector
Published on 06.02.2018

Yaounde-780x440.jpg

The government of Cameroon has secured a F CFA 16.7 billion loan from Societe Generale (SG) Bank to strengthen and stabilize electricity transmission networks in the city of Douala.

According to Apa, the country’s national gazette indicates that the decision by Cameroonian President, Paul Biya instructed the Minister of Economy, Planning and Regional Development (MINEPAT) to sign the agreement with Societe Generale. The project, going by reports, is part of preparations for the 2019 African Cup of Nations (AFCON), which Douala will not only partly host, but will be the gateway to the country through its main airport.

Local reports reveal that, the project seeks to improve the supply of electricity in the nation’s economic capital, and its surroundings, strengthening public lighting systems in peripheral neighborhoods grappling with insecurity at night.

Sources say works, to provide public lighting in the city of Douala, especially in strategic locations between Douala International Airport, and the Bonanjo administrative center are well underway.

(Invest in Cameroon) - The President of the Republic, Paul Biya, signed on February 2 a decree empowering the Minister of Finance to use issues of government securities of up to 260 billion FCFA.

According to the presidential decree, these resources are intended for the financing of the projects included in the Cameroon Finance Act for the 2018 financial year. These include projects relating to the organization of the African Cup of Nations of Football. the country organizes between June and July 2019. The 260 billion FCFA will also be used in road investments, the supply of drinking water, electrification, etc.

It should be noted that, for three years, issues of Cameroonian public securities on capital markets have generally been around CFAF 300 billion. But, because of the three-year economic program (2017-2019) signed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in June 2017, Cameroon has pledged to reduce its pace of indebtedness. For this reason, there is a decline of CFAF 40 billion in the issuance of government bonds between fiscal year 2017 and 2018, for example.

Eneo reaches an agreement to settle its debt to KPDC, thus obtaining the capacity increase of the Kribi plant
Thursday, 15 February 2018

(Invest in Cameroon) - The Kribi gas plant, built in the Southern region of Cameroon and managed by KPDC, " is gradually increasing its energy deliveries to the profit " of Eneo, the public service concession holder of the electricity in Cameroon.

This standardization of deliveries from KPDC to the benefit of the electrician Eneo, revealed the general manager of the latter company (Joel Nana Kontchou), by inaugurating the headquarters building of his region Sanaga Ocean, on February 14, 2018 in Kribi; is the consequence of an agreement reached between the two partners, for the settlement of the debt claimed from Eneo.

As a reminder, at the end of last year, because of a debt that had reached "the critical threshold ", according to KPDC, this company had to reduce by 100 MW the production capacity of the Kribi gas station (213 MW ), depriving Eneo of the energy it needs to ensure optimal supply for its customers in the interconnected South network.

Unable to pay its bills to KPDC, because of cash flow difficulties, Eneo had in turn blacklisted a debt of about 100 billion CFA francs, claimed from the State of Cameroon, as consumption of administrations the public and the lack of tariffs.

The State's payment of part of this debt (CFAF 15 billion) had, moreover, allowed Eneo, in December 2017, to make an advance to KPDC, thereby relaxing a little bit the collaboration between the two countries. two companies controlled by the British investment fund Actis.
