Rio de Janeiro, Brazil/Hamilton, Bermuda, 21 November 2023: Seacrest Petroleo
Bermuda Limited (“Seacrest Petroleo” or the “Company”) today reported interim
results for the third quarter of 2023. Both the Q3 report and accompanying
presentation are attached hereto and can be found on the Company website
www.seacrestpetroleo.com.
Third quarter highlights:
o Continued production growth and profitability improvements, EBITDA of USD 9.7
million
o Commencement of infill drilling programme with very encouraging results so far
o Well reliability and productivity continued to improve
o Safe operations with no serious HSE incidents
o Reducing FY’23 production guidance due to external events in the fourth
quarter
Seacrest Petroleo’s oil and gas equivalent production was 9 204 boepd in the
third quarter, an increase of 5% from the second quarter of 2023. The Company
had a realised oil price of USD 79.2/bbl, an increase of 15% sequentially.
Seacrest Petroleo hit a major milestone in September, reaching 10 000 boepd of
production, and average production rose to 9 204 boepd in the third quarter.
While we faced external challenges related to offtake after the end of the
quarter, our internal achievements have positioned us well to continue to grow
production efficiently moving forward. Our infill drilling program commenced at
the end of September, and we are looking forward to assessing its results in Q4.
Mean time between failures at our wells continues to rise, as does productivity,
and we had no serious HSE incidents during the quarter. The company is focusing
on the continuance of the drilling campaigns through 2024 and remains on track
to deliver on our long-term strategy.”- says Michael Stewart, CEO Seacrest
Petroleo
Seacrest Petroleo has 140 mmboe of certified 2P oil and gas reserves and ranks
as the third largest onshore oil and gas producer in Brazil. The Company expects
a gradual increase in production levels for the remainder of the year and has
ambitions to more than triple production in the next three years.
