The Group’s consolidated sales for 2017 amounted to $400 million (€355 million), up 14% compared to 2016.

This increase was due to the sharp rise in oil prices in 2017, despite a drop in oil production in Gabon during the period.
The average sale price of oil in fiscal year 2017 rose by 24% to $53/bbl versus $42.7/bbl in 2016.

To meet the higher demand for gas in Tanzania, gas production significantly increased starting in the second half of 2017. For the full year, average production stood at 49.1 MMcf/d at 100%, up 14% over the previous year.

Operated oil production in Gabon in the fourth quarter of 2017 amounted to 24,144 bopd, down 8% compared to the previous quarter. This was primarily due to the installation of an autonomous power generation system designed to reduce operating costs. Production was halted during its commissioning, resulting in an estimated loss of 860 bopd in Q4 2017.

To mitigate the Ezanga permit field depletion resulting, among other things, from its development programme being halted for close to three years on account of the drop in oil prices, Maurel & Prom Gabon will resume all of its drilling activities. This programme, set to begin in the first half of 2018, involves drilling 11 development wells and three sidetracks.
In addition, drilling of the first exploration wells on the Kari and Nyanga-Mayomnbé permits will start in the second half of 2018.

In Tanzania, demand for gas from the national company, TPDC, rose steadily in 2017 to reach average production of 62.2 MMcf/d at 100% in Q4 2017.
This demand, which is linked to industrial gas consumption in Dar Es Salam, is expected to increase further in 2018.
Group reserves in M&P share at 31 December 2017 (WI M&P)

The Group’s reserves correspond to the volumes of recoverable hydrocarbons currently in production plus those revealed by discovery and delineation wells that can be operated commercially. These reserves were certified by DeGolyer and MacNaughton in Gabon and RPS Energy in Tanzania as at 31 December 2017.

At 31 December 2017, gross P1+P2 (2P) reserves amounted to 215 MMboe, the equivalent of 195 MMboe in M&P share net of royalties.

In Gabon, 2P reserves net of royalties and restated for 2017 production amounted to 151.1 MMbbls at 31 December 2017, with P1 reserves accounting for 79% of that total. This level of certified reserves reflects the value and success of the work undertaken to optimise the Ezanga field following the drop in oil prices.

At 31 December 2017, the Group also had gas reserves of 265 Bcf.

These gas assets give the Group access to fixed, stable revenues over the long term. The sale price is $3.0441 per thousand cubic feet and rises with inflation. Maurel & Prom thus has cash flow unaffected by oil price fluctuations.
