PART A | BUSINESS & MARKET OVERVIEW UPDATE |
- UPDATE ON THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
The global oil and gas industry continues to face various challenges including adapting to changing demand and supply dynamics as well as sustainability goals. Global oil markets recalibrated after three turbulent years, initially due to COVID-19 pandemic and later the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The industry remains very fluid, influenced by various factors such as geopolitical events, supply and demand dynamics and global economic conditions. During 2023, average price per barrel stood at USD82.49 and during the first few months of 2024, inched further up to USD82.73, reflecting the expected increase in demand as 2024 growth figures have been revised up.

Investment in upstream activities has been on the increase and reached their highest levels since 2015. Such investments are supported by the need to substitute the oil and gas that was previously sourced from Russia which has remained embargoed through the various sanctions imposed namely by the United States and the European Union. Furthermore, overall demand for oil and gas products across the globe is expected to continue rising (up until 2028 which is the last year of IEA's forecast period), particularly supported by demand across emerging economies. For 2024, global output is forecast to rise by 770 kb/d to 102.9 mb/d. Non-OPEC+ production will expand by 1.6 mb/d, while OPEC+ supply could fall 820 kb/d if voluntary cuts remain in place. In 2025, global growth could reach 1.6 mb/d. Benchmark crude oil prices continued their upward trajectory in

March and early April 2024, as heightened geopolitical tensions coincided with the prospect of a tighter supply-demand balance through the remainder of the year.
Pitfalls and uncertainties still prevail in this intrinsically volatile industry. One of the main risks relates to the prevailing macroeconomic environment whereby the risk of recession is on the increase as various central banks maintain their respective contractionary monetary policy (commonly referred to as higher rates for longer) in an attempt to control inflation. Inevitably this translates into high costs of borrowing.
Looking even further into the future, the main challenge of the oil and gas industry is the transition to cleaner energy. Whilst the IECs are investing in this area, oil and gas will remain an important energy source for years to come as the infrastructure required to shift dependency on cleaner energy sources requires significant time and substantial amounts of investment.

- KEY RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN 2023 AND OUTLOOK FOR 2024
MEDITERRANEAN OPERATIONS
This sub-segment within ILSS includes the operations of Malta, Cyprus, Morocco and Egypt.
Malta Operations (including Libya Branch)
In recent years, the Malta base continued to provide shore base services for the development of offshore Libya projects. Given the ongoing political and hostile environment in Libya, management is confident that the Company will remain the shore base for all oil and gas operations offshore Libya. This is because the Company's base in Malta is seen as a reliable and a safe haven for the storage and mobilisation of oil field equipment required by companies engaged in offshore Libya projects.
Furthermore, as explained below, the Malta base has also been instrumental to companies seeking logistic and handling services.
Mellitah Oil & Gas B.V. (Libyan Branch) ("MOG")
Mellitah Oil & Gas B.V. (Libyan Branch) ("MOG"), which is a joint venture between the Libyan National Oil Corporation and Eni North Africa B.V., plans to drill 31 offshore development wells. MedservRegis will be acting as the logistics base for the development of new gas offshore structures for MOG. Drilling has been delayed due to the continued unresolved political unrest in the country and is now expected to commence towards the end of FY2024 (originally planned for FY2023 and subsequently moved to the first half of FY2024). Prior to the drilling, OCTG and tubulars are shipped into the country in preparation for the drilling campaign. Such shipments started to be received as from the second quarter of 2023.
Air Liquide Oil & Gas Services Ltd
In March 2020, the Company signed a long-term agreement with Air Liquide Oil & Gas Services Ltd to install and operate a compressed gases filling plant to provide diving and welding gases to the offshore industry in the Mediterranean basin. After obtaining necessary permits, the facility was installed at MedservRegis' base at the Malta Freeport and operations commenced in Q4 2020. Revenue from this agreement in FY2023 was in the region of €0.6 million, and the contribution from this project is expected to improve further once drilling offshore Libya resumes.
Eni North Africa B.V.
In FY2020, the Group was awarded a contract by Eni North Africa B.V. to provide a logistics marine base and associated services for its oil and gas activities taking place offshore Libya. The term of the contract is three years from 1 January 2021 until end of FY2024. The IEC plans to drill seven wells towards the end of FY2024, which are expected to generate €0.5 million per well for the MedservRegis Group.
Financial Analysis Summary - 2024 Update | Page | 8 |
Other Services
The activity of the Malta operation in FY2023 was also characterised by other one-off revenues. It also generated revenue from offshore engineering work in the Mediterranean, particularly offshore Libya - this service offering has been integral to the Malta operations for the past ten years and has contributed revenues on an annual basis, save for 2017 where no significant work of such nature was provided.
The Group continues to benefit from revenues generated by its photovoltaic farm installed on the Malta base, which was commissioned in July of 2014.
Other non-oil and gas business provide Medserv with additional revenue during the year. The Group has identified a number of local companies or entities operating in Malta, particularly close to the Medserv base. To such companies, the Group provides access to its lifting and logistics equipment as well as safety supervisory personnel that oversees the operations related to the offloading of periodic shipments and any storage facilities as may be required.
Furthermore, the Group also provides painting and blasting services to another client with whom it has a maintenance and projects contract. It is expected that such contract will generate revenues to the Group at
just under € million in FY202 .
Cyprus Operations
In June 2023, ENI issued a new tender for the provision of shore base services for which several local and international service providers participated. The Group has secured this contract for a 36-month period, with possible extensions of a further two one-year periods. The Cypriot subsidiary went fully operational in November 2023, while ENI commenced the drilling of the appraisal well which extended until February 2024. It is now expected that ENI will move to the development phase in which a series of wells are expected to be drilled, commencing in 2025.
Medserv Cyprus signed a 3-year contract with ExxonMobil in July 2022, whereby the Cypriot subsidiary will provide storage and related services. ExxonMobil and its partner, QatarEnergy, have exploration rights to blocks 5 and 10 in Cyprus. The expectation is that drilling by ExxonMobil is expected to resume towards the end of FY2024.
In January 2023, Medserv Cyprus signed a new contract with Chevron Cyprus Limited for the provision of operational base support services from the Limassol base with the rig commencing activity in April 2023 and finalised in August 2023.
Egypt Operations
The contract with IEOC Production B.V. ("IEOC") which commenced in anuary 20 8 and which has been subject to a number of extensions and revisions, is set to expire in December 2024. This contract is for the
