Commentary
- Average production up 5% in 2023 from 2022
- 12 wells were drilled in 2023 on Ezanga
- A small discovery was made on the Ezal structure during the year; it was immediately connected and put into production
- A well stimulation campaign took place at the end of 2023 with positive results
- New annual record for Mnazi Bay's production with 107.4 mmcfd (gross), 19% higher than the previous record in 2022 (9.0 mmcfd)
- Increase of M&P's working interest in Mnazi Bay to 60% from January 2024, following the acquisition of Wentworth Resource sand the exercise by TPDC of its call option for 20%
- Studies underway for the drilling of two development wells from the end of 2024; these drillings would undoubtedly make it possible to delay the need to implement compression
- Average production up 10% in 2023 from 2022
- Block 3/05 license extended until 2040 in fiscal year 2022, with new, more favourable tax terms

- General License 44 ("GL 44") issued by OFAC on 18 October 2023 temporarily suspended sanctions imposed since 2019 and allowed the resumption of all oil and gas activities in Venezuela
