Big excitement is Maurel&Prom grabbing the rest of Mnazi Bay with a cash offer for Wentworth at 30% premium.
Long-suffering PetroMatad shareholders see a 20% bounce on an update, hopefully they will be able to progress Heron in the spring and Velociraptor later in next year, they're also applying for more blocks.
North Eigg is non-commercial for Serica but they may sidetrack. Production going well for them, hinting at an acquisition but probably outside UK.
Angus make sluggish progress on the Saltfleetby sidetrack but still hope to report something before Christmas.
Total sign an MoU with Air France for 800,000t of sustainable aviation fuel. Kino extend their convertible by 5 months.

Petro Matad continues to explore opportunities in the renewables space following Board approval to do so in 2021....The Company will participate in the London South East webinar on 6 December
[up 20%]

Today 07:00 Serica Energy PLC (SQZ)
Operations Update
https://www.investegate.co.uk/serica-en ... 00045220I/
The North Eigg exploration well 3/24c-6B has been drilled to a total depth of 16,728 feet in the Jurassic Heather formation and initial analysis indicates that, whilst the well has encountered hydrocarbons, commercial quantities have not yet been established. At the well location, the objective sands were thinner than had been prognosed but a total of 16 feet of hydrocarbon-bearing sands were encountered, and these have confirmed the presence of hydrocarbons at a deeper depth than in the adjacent producing Rhum field....Final well costs will not be known until after the rig is off hire, but it is likely that the net after tax cost of the well to Serica will be around £13 million....
[November production 28,977boepd, +37% since July]
Serica's net production YTD has averaged 25,955 boe/d and full year 2022 production is expected to be within the existing guidance range of 26,000 to 28,000 boe/d. Serica's production continues to be more than 85% gas....
the company has not entered into any new gas price hedging since July 2021 and has no immediate plans to do so. Serica continues to hold a modest remaining hedging programme with less than 20% of gas production covered in the second half of 2022, thereby allowing the company to benefit from full market prices on over 80% of its production. The existing gas hedges will reduce to zero during the next twelve months....
The recent action by the UK Government to increase the marginal rate of tax on the UK Upstream Oil & Gas sector to 75% with no floor to prices, will make it challenging for the industry to invest in new longer-term UKCS projects. Nevertheless, we remain committed to expanding our portfolio through M&A....While we believe in the importance of the UK Oil & Gas sector, we are now considering opportunities in other countries alongside those in the UK as we continue to seek to expand our portfolio and create value for all of our stakeholders

We believe the Charapa Norte prospect offers future well locations that Gran Tierra could potentially drill in 2023, which would further delineate the Hollin Sand in the Charapa Block.
In the Putumayo Basin of Colombia, ongoing positive results from the Rose-1 well, which is producing about 300 BOPD and virtually no water, may indicate that there are potential future well locations in the ALEA-1848 Block that could also be drilled.
With fourth quarter-to-date 2022 total Company average production(1) of approximately 32,000 BOPD, and current total average production of about 33,000 BOPD, we look forward to finishing 2022 on a strong note. We are also excited about our 2023 development and exploration capital programs and potential future share and bond buybacks. We plan to issue a press release outlining our 2023 production and financial guidance on or around December 8, 2022.”

Scirocco's AGM statement is bullish on the prospects for biogas projects - may be worth a look? Europa don't have much to say at their AGM, licking their wounds after Serenity, but lost special resolutions on pre-emption rights which may be a sign of further awkwardness to come? Touchstone raise more than what they were looking for, a bit more in Canada and 36% more in London. 88 Energy have a rig contract for Hickory-1 and rename Icewine East to Phoenix, whilst Molecular (President) have delays on the rig for Paraguay. Chariot team up with Total for a 30MW solar project at a mine in Zimbabwe.
Hurricane have to reschedule their EGM due to the notice getting caught in post strikes.

EAG has developed a pipeline of Biogas acquisitions in line with the stated strategy to acquire "bitesize" plants in the value range of £3-4m each. The goal is to acquire individual plants using EAG's "cookie cutter" approach whereby target assets are acquired as SPVs through a combination of debt and equity, the assets are then optimised through operating techniques and investments to grow profitability and enhance the value of each asset and the portfolio as a whole. A typical SPV is forecast to generate c. £850k EBITDA with enterprise value in the range of £7.5-£8.5m per plant, thereby demonstrating the appealing value proposition of the strategy.
it is the intention that EAG will, subject to securing the necessary funding, acquire two plants through 2023 and a further two plants in 2024. Should EAG be successful in converting these opportunities as guided then EAG would create a business generating over £5 million EBITDA per annum with an implied cash on cash multiple of c. 2.5x accruing to EAG investors.
EAG has entered into an exclusivity agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital in a target SPV which has been delivering consistent operational and financial results over the past 7 years, generating an EBITDA of £567k for its last financial year. It is EAG's expectation that its plans to optimise performance can increase EBITDA at the plant to £725k in its first year of ownership....The acquisition requires £3.8m of acquisition capital as well as approximately £200k in closing costs, and will be debt funded to approximately 70% of the total. Assuming all progresses as planned, including sourcing of the necessary finance, then EAG is targeting a completion date at the end of February 2023....confident of building an asset base with enterprise value of up to £100 million by 2027.

So the big news is the resolution of the Lekoil saga, the one where the Nigerian subsidiary tried to run off with 40% of an oilfield. It's complicated but AFAICT, Lekoil Nigeria and Savannah give up their combined 38.5% of the Lekoil listed company, in return for the Nigerian subsidiary getting the oilfield and owing $52m in debt to the parent (on the books at over $100m) which is paid out of cashflow from oil sales, and some of that cashflow passing through to pay $16.3m to Savannah who had also paid some cash to get an option over some other debt. Savannah's terse RNS merely said that the deal was "not deemed material to Savannah".
Gran Tierra's guidance is for +8% production in 2023, all seems solid enough. Pantheon haven't realised Schlum have changed names, but they've done a reservoir model which comes out with a number 77% of what the management had said for OIP, but 10% recovery on 17.8 billion barrels would be very nice, even if it needs hundreds of 2-mile horizontal wells to recover it all. Off 10%.
Borders & Southern get a 2-year extension to their production licences.

Pantheon engaged Schlumberger to undertake this project more than six months ago in order to develop a highly detailed body of work to assist in reservoir modelling, development modelling and as an important tool in Pantheon's data room to allow potential future farm in partners to gain a greater understanding of the potential, characteristics and scale of Pantheon's projects. This reservoir model represents completion of the first phase of the project....
the Schlumberger modelling estimates the reservoirs contain 17.8 billion barrels net OIP versus Company estimates of 23 billion barrels of OIP....Schlumberger has not provided an estimate on recovery factors, which was outside the scope of this first phase of the project. Schlumberger's work is ongoing, and the recovery factors will be covered in the next phase of their work....

On December 1, 2022, the Company received $10.9 million from Petroperu as part of a schedule of payments, which is expected to be fully repaid by August 1, 2023....
On November 25, 2022, Asociacion Indigena de Desarrollo y Conservacion de Bajo Puinahua ("AIDECOBAP") followers detained a barge traveling to Brazil with crude oil purchased from PetroTal. The crew was taken hostage in an effort to force the Company to sign an addendum related to the social trust prior to formal working table approval. Approximately 48 hours later, the crew of the barge was released, however, territorial control of the river pathway continues, limiting further barge movements to and from the Company's oilfield. ...
Since the Company's Q3 2022 financial and operating results were released on November 17, 2022, the Company has been producing nearly 14,000 barrels of oil per day ("bopd"), reaching 18,000 bopd recently. As a result of the river blockade, PetroTal has reduced production to between 4,500 bopd and 5,000 bopd since November 30, 2022, to manage storage levels and will need to further reduce production levels should the blockade persist as the Northern Peruvian Pipeline ("ONP") remains unavailable due to ongoing repairs.

I wimped out of coming home Sunday night given the road conditions, so here's Monday and Tuesday's RNS roundup.
Busy time for the Savannah boys - they complete the $407m acquisition of Exxon's 40% share of the the Doba project in Chad (57 MMbbls/11.2kbpd net) and the 672-mile pipeline through Cameroon, but fail to complete on Petronas' 35% share, which may be something to do with Chad claiming the deal is illegal. An Olympic judoka joining the board may help solve any...disagreements?!! But instead they're spending $1250m on Petronas' South Sudan portfolio - three JOC's with 30-68% WI in 153kbpd gross (so anywhere between 46-104kbpd net, probably 60-70ish?).
Elsewhere, Chariot get an outline gas deal in Morocco, Block farm out some non-core acreage for $3m work whilst spudding WR-B01 ST, Sound make some more progress on financing Tendrara, Velocys get nearly £30m of grants for the FEED of their waste-to-synthetic-aviation-fuel plant at Immingham, and initial work on electricity-to-SAF. Novatek have found 1.8tcf of gas in the Siberian Arctic, the very next trading day after Total pull out. Can't remember if Synergia have said NPV10 of Cambay is $725 million before. Invinity continue to soar with a battery sale in Korea. Predator talk up their Irish and Trinidad assets as up for a deal. Longboat look well below cash value if you can wait for the Norwegian tax man to cough up his rebate, meanwhile they expand the loan against it - deals to come? Flow rates at Genel's Sarta-6 were limited by surface equipment to 1800bpd.
One of Enwell's shareholders is an "Orthodox cleric and businessman" who has fallen foul of Zelensky's new sanctions against the Russian Orthodox church, but they don't think it affects them. No doubt they will appoint Boris Johnson as a NED to sort things out...

Restrictive Measures Affecting Major Shareholder
https://www.investegate.co.uk/enwell-en ... 57272785J/
comments on a regulatory action within Ukraine affecting a major indirect shareholder of the Company ....special economic and other restrictive measures (sanctions) were applied to ten individuals, all of whom are Orthodox religious clerics. One of these individuals is Vadym Novynskyi, who is also a Ukrainian businessman, who holds a major indirect shareholding interest in the Company...the Company's legal analysis is that the restrictive measures imposed are directed at the named individuals (and not any other legal entities) and are applicable solely within Ukraine.The restrictive measures are therefore not directed at the Company, which continues its normal operations. The Company will continue to monitor the situation and consult with its external legal advisers as to whether the Decree could affect the Company.

So the big excitement is Argos selling their only asset in the Falklands for 9.3% of private company JHI, who have 17.5% of the Canje block off Guyana and the cash to complete the Falklands licence obligations.
Hunting upgrade their forecast for 2023 and are setting up a renewables division. PetroTal have sorted things out with the locals who were blocking river access, from what I can tell the existing 2.5% cut will be formally incorporated into the licence. Serinus start workover of the Sabria field. Harmony acquire three battery projects totalling 364MWh. Tlou place more shares with Ian Campbell and his mates at a discount. Invinity issue a convertible to fund working capital. Kistos complete the paperwork to insert a holding company into their structure.

we are targeting a launch of the Carra farm-out process, in partnership with Carrick Resources, just as soon as the doors close on the 33rd Round. This arrangement with TGS will also enable us to acquire new seismic over Elke and Narwhal subject to the Pilot project achieving FDP approval....
Cash used in operations totalled £1,323,836 (30 June 2021 - £312,189). As at 30 June 2022, the Group had a cash balance of £271,439 (30 June 2021 - £179,556). At the date of this announcement, the Group's cash balance was £303,000. Self-evidently, the Group will need to source further funding in the near term. A further update will be provided in due course....
No one enjoys the prospect of a higher tax rate, but we consider the EPL has been well designed and we believe it will encourage producing oil and gas companies to invest in new projects. We would call on the government to be even-handed with non-producing companies and to offer tax credits to these companies. The Norwegians adopted this model in 2005 to encourage exploration, with great success. We believe a similar approach could unleash a wave of new developments on the UKCS.

GulfKeystone continue to throw off the cash - but BTW, Baghdad want to nullify our PSCs and got a court judgment against us that we only heard about from the media.
Angus are looking to raise £7m in a placing plus issuing £1m for deferred consideration for Saltfleetby, talking about acquisitions but also cashflow issues from hedges.
Eco complete their deal for an extra 6.25% of their South African block, most of which is in shares at nearly double the current price courtesy of Gazania. AGM is the Thursday after Christmas....Tlou's EGM to approve the share issue is a more reasonable 18 January, in Brisbane. Hydrogen Utopia are quoting Goethe as they add a Frankfurt listing.

2022 production is expected to be at the lower end of our 44,000 – 47,000 bopd guidance range, recently impacted by the temporary shut-in of one well due to an isolated Electrical Submersible Pump (“ESP”) electrical failure, which has just been worked over and restarted. We are currently producing c.44,400 bopd as we gradually ramp up production from both the restarted well and SH-16, which was brought online earlier this month.
Significant cash flow generation in 2022 year to date, with $450.4 million net to GKP received from the Kurdistan Regional Government (“KRG”) for crude oil sales and revenue arrears

Since then, the Company has learned from media reports that, on 23 October 2022, the Court issued decisions in absentia against Gulf Keystone and two other IOCs. Gulf Keystone did not have legal representation in the Court. Media has also reported similar judgements issued against several other IOCs....

Wow - a frantic day today, with technically three takeovers (although in two cases cash is going the opposite way to the headline) and various pre-Christmas updates. The headline is Serica absorbing Tailwind for £644m, with Mercuria taking a quarter of the enlarged group which will add 42mmboe and 12kbpd with 15-20kbpd forecast in 2023.
Predator and Challenger resolve their differences by Challenger "selling" (actually writing off $4.7m of internal loans and $6m for the lawsuit but getting $3m in installments for their 83.8% of Cory Moruga which Predator want to CO2 EOR.
And Egdon take over more of the shut-in Waddock Cross and Avington fields and £90m of tax losses in return being paid 288k and taking on for decommissioning liabilities.
Petrofac warn of a $100m EBIT loss thanks to Covid delays on old contracts in Engineering & Construction, but everything is going well apart from that, honest.
Savannah all going well it seems with revenues up 27% yoy, production up 22% (so not getting any benefit from higher prices then). Aquila Energy making good progress on investing their cash in solar etc, with 8% unlevered yield on those investments.
San Leon still facing delays in their deal, selling a fringe asset to keep the lights on, and their 4.5% NPI in Barryroe is flagged in that context.
Empyrean have lots of geology detail on why Jade didn't work but Topaz will make them all rich. Upland are also talking vaguely about geology.
Enwell spud a development well but lose PWC as auditor thanks to the recent sanctions on a major shareholder.
Yesterday saw New Energy One screwed up their warrants which fail the fixed-for-fixed test of IAS32 so they're having to redo them rather than account for them as liabilities and not equity. Well spotted that auditor.
And talking of auditors, Star Phoenix are in the extraordinary position of shareholders rejecting the appointment of a new auditor so they can't get their accounts out and will be suspended from 3 January until it's sorted. Sounds like shareholders playing silly gits, shares halved in response. Capricorn also have shareholders kicking off, wanting a meeting to kick out the board, they respond with a stern letter talking up the NewMed deal.

Today 07:00 San Leon Energy PLC (SLE)
Update on proposed refinancing
https://www.investegate.co.uk/san-leon- ... 00112928K/
W hilst the MM Capital Facility is a legally binding facility agreement in place between the Company and MM Capital, the Board of San Leon has delayed utilising the facility as it believes that additional or alternative financing might be available on terms that may be better aligned with the Company's overall strategic and financing objectives . Specifically, a prospective alternative lender has also indicated that it may have an interest in taking an equity position in San Leon by acquiring existing ordinary shares from certain shareholders. As the Company seeks to diversify its shareholder base and build long term support ahead of the planned expansion of its activities in Nigeria, the Board considers that financing on this basis represents a substantial improvement over the MM Capital Facility...the Boar d now expects this alternative facility to be finalised and available for draw down early in the New Year and a further announcement will be made at that time by the Company, as appropriate...
As a further source of near-term funding, t he Board is also currently in advanced negotiations in respect of the proposed sale of the Company's non-core investments relating to the Oza oil field in Nigeria (the " Proposed Non-core Investments Sale "), which had a book value of US$5.6 million in San Leon's unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2022 , to generate working capital....
notwithstanding this short term cashflow delay, San Leon's balance sheet is robust with, in particular, US$112.6 million owed to it by Midwestern Leon Petroleum Limited (the " MLPL Loan ") and US$23.0 million owed to it by ELI. The MLPL Loan will be extinguished following the proposed Midwestern Reorganisation but, for the time being, remains a valid obligation and therefore a significant asset of the Company's. Aside from Oza, the Company also holds non-core assets in other countries which may have a meaningful value, such as the 4.5% net profit interest in the Barryroe Field

Sale of Cory Moruga and settlement agreement

is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding heads of terms (the "Term Sheet") with Predator Oil & Gas Holdings Plc and relevant subsidiary entities ("Predator"), providing for (i) the conditional sale of the Company's interest in the non-producing Cory Moruga licence in Trinidad, (ii) a framework for future CO2 collaboration between the Company and Predator, and (iii) a mutually agreed settlement in relation to all matters relating to the Inniss-Trinity CO2 enhanced oil recovery ("EOR") pilot project previously carried out by Predator at the Company's Inniss-Trinity block...
· As a consequence of the lack of current production and the need for further appraisal, the Company considers the Cory Moruga licence to be non-core to its cash flow generative production-focused business in Trinidad, and therefore no further work has been planned for the Cory Moruga field in the near-term. In contrast, Predator considers the Cory Moruga field to represent an ideal candidate for a CO2 EOR project.
For the year to 31 December 2021 T-Rex made a loss of approximately TT$4.5 million (or approximately US$674,000), largely reflective of the annual licence fees and dues in respect of the Cory Moruga licence. As at 31 December 2021, T-Rex had net liabilities of approximately TT$48.0 million (or approximately US$7.1 million) of which approximately TT$31.7 million (or approximately US$4.7 million) is intra-group and will be written-off as at the Completion Date. Cash received in relation to the Transaction will be used for general working capital in the Company's operations.

https://www.investegate.co.uk/egdon-res ... 00122282K/
it has signed a conditional agreement to acquire the entire issued share capital of Aurora Production (UK) Limited ("Aurora Production") from Aurora Petroleum Limited (the "Vendor").

However, as part of the transaction Egdon shall receive a cash sum from the Vendor of £0.288 million which reflects the current estimates in relation to these liabilities. Aurora Production has accumulated upstream ringfenced tax losses of ca. £90 million that should be available to offset tax on future profits.
Egdon has an existing 55% operated interest in the Waddock Cross oil field (PL090) which will increase to 73.75% on completion. In addition, Egdon will increase its interest in the remaining part of PL090 (excluding the Waddock Cross oil field) from 42.50% to 56.04%. Waddock Cross is currently shut-in. Independent reservoir modelling has shown that a new horizontal well on the field could yield commercial oil production (500-800 bopd). Given the significant mean in-place oil volume of c. 57 million barrels, this asset has been high graded by Egdon for redevelopment.
Egdon will increase its holding in the Avington oil field from 28.00% to 36.33%. Avington remains shut-in but planning consent to restart production was granted on appeal in December 2021. The forward plan is to redevelop the field during 2023 with longer term plans to include establishing on site water handling facilities.
Egdon estimates that the transaction covering both licences will add approximately 0.614 million barrels of Best Estimate Contingent and Prospective Resources of oil to its resource inventory.

The US boys are still at work even if London has largely packed up. Zephyr continue to make solid progress - they've bought out the remaining 25% of Paradox for shares - usual story, minor partner couldn't afford capex, and are also buying some non-operated interests to help fund the capex. It feels like a nice little story is coming together there.
COPL use WTI weakness to restructure their hedges, and will get a proposal for a Barron Flats Deep JV in the New Year.
Block seem happy with the results of JSR-01 DEEP, the actual amounts of oil are trivial but it confirms their theories about the geology.

Costless Hedge Restructuring and Corporate Update
https://www.investegate.co.uk/canadian- ... 00053960K/
· The Company's current WTI swaps from January 2023 to June 2023 at a price of $52.87/bbl for approximately 1,000 bbls/d have been cancelled.
· The Company's Butane swaps from January 2023 to June 2023 have been reduced to a volume of 350,000 gallons/month at $0.67/gal to align the volume subject to swaps to the Company's planned injection forecast at the Barron Flats Shannon Miscible Flood.
· The net liability to unwind the above positions has been exchanged for new WTI swaps at an improved price of $52.88/bbl from March 2024 to December 2024 on 1,000 bbls/d and for WTI puts to provide downside protection for the first half of 2023 on 750 bbls/d at $60.00/bbl....Recent WTI weakness has provided the opportunity for COPL to execute this hedge restructuring without a cash cost to unwind the positions and in a manner that will minimize near term hedge losses that have constrained our pace of development....
As previously disclosed, the Company is seeking to re-finance COPL America's US$42 million Senior Credit Facility and close the remaining outstanding hedges. In addition, the Company is seeking funding through a new loan facility to fund the installation of a high-pressure gas gathering system at its Barren Flats Shannon Unit to augment is current low pressure gas gathering system. Engineering design has been completed with procurement and construction to begin post refinancing. Once completed the field will be debottlenecked, thus resulting in increased oil production in line with modeled reservoir performance....
As previously disclosed, COPL was approached late in the third quarter by a large oil company ("JV Party") inquiring if the Company was interested in a Joint Venture partner to appraise and develop its Barron Flats Deep oil discovery announced in September 2021. ...has been recently advised that a potential way forward will be presented by the JV Party in early January 2023....
Oil production is currently fluctuating between 1,400 and 1,500 bbls/d due to cold to extremely cold weather.

is pleased to announce the acquisition of the remaining 25 per cent working interest across the White Sands Unit (the "WSU") in the Paradox Basin, Utah, U.S. (the "Paradox Basin" or "Paradox Project") (the "Paradox Acquisition").
In addition, the Company announces that it has acquired a working-interest in a further six wells in the Williston Basin, North Dakota...the Company has secured an US$8 million asset-backed bridge loan facility on attractive commercial terms from a U.S. based family office which has co-invested with Zephyr's management team on other projects on multiple occasions....
Historically, RSOC benefitted from a carry on its working-interest in the Paradox Project, and this carry was satisfied on completion of the State 16-2 LN-CC well (the "State 16-2 Well") in 2022. Following the satisfaction of the carry obligation, the vendor was obligated to fund its 25 per cent. proportion of CAPEX, including its share of the CAPEX for the State 36-2 LNW-CC well (the "State 36-2 Well") which is currently being drilled, and also had the right to participate pro-rata in the infrastructure build out that is currently taking place on the project. The total vendor CAPEX for these two items equates to circa US$5 million....
Total consideration of up to US$3 million, payable by way of the issue of new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), to be issued under existing share authorities, at a price of 6.05p per Ordinary Share, representing a circa 11% premium to the Company's mid-market closing share price on 20 December 2022.
· Acquisition of non-operated working-interests in six further wells, equivalent to a net 1.2 wells, in the Williston Basin (the "New Williston Wells") near to Zephyr's current non-operated working interests for total consideration of US$2.9 million. In addition, Zephyr will pay the upcoming US$8.9 million CAPEX associated with the working-interests to bring the wells into production....
· Zephyr's working-interest in the New Williston Wells ranges from 11% to 32% and management currently estimates 2P Reserves being acquired are circa 550,000 boe net to Zephyr....
On a pro forma basis inclusive of the Williston Acquisition working-interests, the Company is issuing a 2023 full-year production forecast of 1,550 to 1,750 boepd for its aggregate Williston Basin interests (net to Zephyr).
· State 36-2 LNW-CC well....Despite the operational delays and the extra time allotted to gather the grant-related reservoir data, it is still the Company's expectation to deliver the well within budgeted authority for expenditure ("AFE") limits albeit on a slightly longer timeframe than originally forecasted. Zephyr now expects the drilling operation to conclude in January 2023.

Well Test Programme Results
https://www.investegate.co.uk/block-ene ... 00033723K/
the JSR-01 DEEP testing programme has proven oil from a previously unproduced zone in the Patardzeuli field....Well JSR-01 DEEP is the Company's first Project II appraisal well located in the southwest of the Patardzeuli field. The well was drilled 470m deeper than the donor JSR-01 well, close to the original oil-water contact. Drilled at an inclined angle, it allowed the testing of different zones to help evaluate the remaining oil potential, which will inform future drilling and redevelopment plans....Over a period of two months commencing on the 21st October, the Company tested three overlapping reservoir sections under rod pump and electric submersible pump. The final test which has been on pump since the 9th of December, is producing at a rate of 45 bopd and will now be handed over to production.
The results of the testing programme have demonstrated that there is unswept commercial oil in the Middle Eocene of the Patardzeuli field. The Company is now in a position to advance Project II, from both a subsurface and operational perspective.

Admission to Trading and Dealings Delay
https://www.investegate.co.uk/hydrogen- ... 00054022K/
regrets to announce that the admission ("Admission") of the Company's entire issued share capital to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority by way of a ‎Standard Listing under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and to trading on the London Stock ‎Exchange's Main Market for listed securities, which was due to take place today, has been delayed for highly technical reasons arising from the interaction of the rules and regulations relating to the Main Market and AQSE rules. The Company is working with its advisers and the FCA to resolve the issue, explained below, as rapidly as possible and anticipates that it will be able to announce a new Admission date very shortly....
Page 9 of HUI's prospectus dated 15 December stated that "The Company's securities are currently traded on the Access Segment of the AquisGrowth Market("Aquis")...". As a result of discussions with Aquis and the FCA since the prospectus was published, it has become apparent that HUI cannot retain that Aquis listing once Admission has taken place. HUI has therefore been requested to publish a supplementary prospectus ("SP") making it clear that it cannot retain that Aquis listing and explaining the implications of that in advance of Admission. HUI will, however, retain the Aquis listing until Admission occurs.

Generally lot of fairly positive news, the only "funny" being Crystal Amber teaming up with Tony Buckingham to get him on the board of Hurricane, apparently to use their cashflow to fund his African exploration.

Requisition of General Meeting

it has received a requisition notice (the "Requisition Notice") from Crystal Amber Fund Limited [29% holder] pursuant to section 303 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act"), requiring that Hurricane's board (the "Board") convenes a general meeting of shareholders for the purposes of considering the following ordinary resolutions : [remove existing board, replace with Tony Buckingham - former mercenary and founder of Heritage Oil - and Franco Castelli, MD of Buckingham's Albion Energy vehicle, seems the plan is to use Hurricane's cashflow to fund Albion's exploration in Africa]
"Given the excellent traction we are seeing in the [Formal Sales Process, bids in by 7 Jan], which the Company commenced to explore all options for shareholders and to fulfil Crystal Amber's goals, the decision to issue the Requisition Notice at this point is simply mystifying. We note that Crystal Amber is open to bids resulting from the FSP. We encourage the participants in the FSP to submit bids in accordance with the process and look forward to updating shareholders in due course."

23 December 09:31 Wentworth Resources (WEN)
Operational Update and Cost Recovery Audit
https://www.investegate.co.uk/wentworth ... 31219052K/
With sustained strong demand during the year, the Company expects to achieve an average gross daily production rate of approximately 90 MMscf/day for 2022 (previous guidance 75-85MMscf/d). Current production levels are steady at a supply-constrained 90MMscf/d (as at 19 December 2022), below current demand nominations of 95MMscf/d from the key offtaker, Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation ("TPDC").
The Mnazi Bay Joint Venture (the "Joint Venture") is undertaking an infield workover and perforation programme with a view to being able to meet gas demand nominations during 2023. In addition, pre-front end engineering design ("FEED") to add compression is being progressed. Once sanctioned, the compression project is designed to support production levels at a plateau of 90 MMscf/d from late 2024 until at least 2027....Wentworth has cash (zero debt) of $30.0 million as at 1 December 2022. In addition, TPDC receivables of $5 million are outstanding (representing two months of gas sales for October and November) as well as Tanzania Electric Supply Company ("TANESCO") receivables of approximately $0.9 million, representing six months of gas sales....Following a dispute between the Operator and TPDC and the regulator, Petroleum Upstream Regulatory Authority ("PURA") as to the validity of certain costs contained in the historical cost pool, on 23 December 2022, the Mnazi Bay JV Partners ("JV Partners") received formal notice from TPDC that it proposes to re-open a historic cost pool audit for the years 2013 - 2015 relating to seismic, field infrastructure and drilling of MB-4 well expenditure. The audit will re-examine Joint Venture costs of $45 million (approximately $15 million net to Wentworth)....The Company anticipates, given the absence of recent investment in the Mnazi Bay field, that 2023 production will include significant periods where costs have been fully recovered, leading to substantially lower revenues....
The Company expects to publish the [M&P takeover] document in mid-January 2023. The Scheme Document will contain full details of the Offer, an updated independent valuation of the Company's assets and voting instructions for the shareholder meetings to be held in early February 2023....
"2022 has been a year of exceptional performance and we are delighted to be able to guide towards a full year production average of 90 MMscf/day, an increase of 20% from the lower end of our original guidance. Given the increasing demand, evidenced by ambitious nominations from our key offtaker, TPDC, it is clear that material investment into Mnazi Bay is now required to maintain existing production levels.
"We will issue 2023 guidance in January. Whilst historically the Joint Venture has successfully recovered the substantial majority of cost subject to audit, it highlights our expectation that 2023 production entitlement will in any event be materially less than previously, due to many years of historic cost recovery without replenishing the cost pools.

Three additional infill wells will be drilled in Q1 2023 with RCE-3 expected to spud in January 2023. RCE-4 and RCE-5 will be drilled in sequence. The drilling rig was initially delayed due to a different operator experiencing operational issues. The infill wells have similar productivity potential to RCE-2 and RCS-1 which are currently producing 850 BOPD net, well above forecasted rates. RCE-2 was paid out in 37 days with an onstream net cost of $4.2MM....
Earlier this month Arrow began construction of the road, pad and cellars for the three planned Carrizales Norte (CN) wells which are expected to be drilled sometime between March and June 2023....The Company is in discussions with a separate drilling company to bring in a second drilling rig to drill CN-1, CN-2 and CN-3.

A new G70 rig, on which we expected to complete the purchase in the next few weeks, will be used to resume drilling at Deep Well A7, which was paused at a depth of 2,150 meters....
Work continues to bring wells 141 and 142 back into production and is expected to be completed in Q1 2023, following which if successful production is expected to return to much closer to the previous approximately 4,000 bopd....Production without any contribution from shallow wells 141 and 142 or from deep well 802 remains at approximately 2,400 bopd....All production continues to be sold on the domestic market, including to mini refineries. That there are no international sales is directly as the result of the continuing discounts for oil emerging from the Russian pipeline network, even though sanctions do not apply to oil produced in Kazakhstan and transported via the Russian pipeline network...
provided there are no material adverse findings, the option to acquire Block 8 will be triggered in Q1 2023 and the acquisition would complete later that year.
