B4. PROSPECT
The oil and gas outlook for this year is expected to remain challenging, due to the volatility in the global and domestic markets. This is further compounded by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Our operations remain uninterrupted although country-wide movement restrictions continue. The oil price dropped significantly in the first quarter of 2020 but has gradually moved up in since then. We however managed to turn-around our oil production in the third quarter of 2020 via selective workover program.
Due to prevailing COVID-19 situation and economic considerations, our CAPEX allocation for 2020 will be minimal on the basis of strictly non-discretionary spending. Yessen 4 exploration well had been completed and managed to produce on intermittent basis. Further evaluation is to be conducted to assess capability of this well.
Completion of the new Central Processing Facilities ("CPF") will be deferred until production exceeds 6,000 bopd which is the processing limit of the existing facilities.
Electrical Submersible Pumps continue to play a major role notably for Kariman field in order to continuously develop the field. . Water and gas injection studies are on-going as part of our enhanced oil recovery initiative.
The average production for the third quarter of 2020 was 1,768 bopd while YTD oil production rate is around 1,690 bopd (as at 30
September 2020).
