Commenting on activity during the first half of 2013 and ongoing operations, Tony O'Reilly, Chief Executive of Providence Resources P.l.c., said:
"Following the truly transformational year of 2012, the first half of 2013 continued with a high level of activity. The main focus of our activities remained the ongoing post well work at Barryroe, the independent audit of resources and the launch of our industry wide Barryroe farm out campaign.
"The publication of the two Netherland Sewell & Associates, Inc. (NSAI) independent audits earlier this year further substantiated the scale of Barryroe and also helped to redefine the industry view of the Irish offshore and its potential. As planned, we are now actively engaged in a farm out process, which involves bringing in a suitably qualified partner to advance the project from development to first oil. The Company is very pleased with the level of international industry interest in Barryroe received to date.
"Aside from Barryroe, we continue with the necessary preparatory work on the remaining four wells being planned as part of our multi-basin drilling programme. The next well to be drilled is the Cairn operated Spanish Point appraisal well, which is currently scheduled take place early in the second quarter of 2014.
"Whilst in the short-term, the absence of mobile hydrocarbons in the Dunquin North well was received negatively by the stock market, we believe that the evidence for oil generation and entrapment in the southern Porcupine Basin may well provide much greater sustainable value for our shareholders in the longer term. It is also important to remember that this well, being the first in the basin, was always a high risk exploratory venture. The fact that we were able to confirm the presence of a new working petroleum system is very encouraging and which has, without doubt, caught the attention of the international E&P sector.
"In addition, the recently announced oil discoveries in the Flemish Pass Basin offshore Canada, which were once geologically on-trend with the southern Porcupine Basin, have only served to further highlight the oil potential of this area. As the largest acreage holder in the southern Porcupine Basin, we are very well positioned to capitalise on this growing industry interest in one end of what has been termed the 'North Atlantic source rock superhighway'.
"Much has been said of late about the renaissance of the Irish offshore, and the arrival of new entrants such as Cairn Energy, Woodside and Kosmos only serves to augment this very positive environment. However, more drilling needs to be carried out as there are still too few wells being drilled offshore Ireland - averaging only one a year. Providence takes pride that, as an Irish independent, through its multi-basin drilling programme, we are leading the charge: the only new exploration and appraisal wells drilled offshore Ireland in 2012 and 2013, and being planned for 2014, are on Providence originated projects.
"As the most active company offshore Ireland, partnership has always been a key part of Providence's strategy, and having successfully completed various farm outs, today we work with an array of notable co-venture companies, including ExxonMobil, ENI, PETRONAS, Repsol, Chrysaor, First Oil Expro, Sosina, Lansdowne and Atlantic Petroleum. This year, we were very pleased to welcome Cairn Energy Plc into our Spanish Point consortium after it acquired a 38% equity stake and assumed the role of Operator. All of our partners bring both technical capabilities and financial support which allow us to move forward with our extensive programme of exploration and appraisal drilling activities.
"Providence has always believed in the material hydrocarbon prospectivity offshore Ireland and the results from Barryroe and Dunquin North, together with the recent results in the conjugate Flemish Pass Basin, continue to endorse this view. We remain committed to our programme of drilling, whilst also leveraging relevant industry farm in partners to take our asset portfolio through the development phase to production. The decision by us and our partners to elect to move from licensing options to exploration licences also further validates the emergence of the Irish Atlantic Margin as a highly prospective, world class oil and gas province."

SPE/WPC/AAPG/SPEE Petroleum Resource Management System 2007 has been used in preparing this announcement
OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS |
BARRYROE OIL FIELD (PVR 80% interest) |
During 2013, the Company's main focus continued to be the extensive post well studies from the 48/24-10z well, which included: further seismic reprocessing; evaluation of additional regional geological data; the completion of the Phase 2 field development studies; ongoing permitting and environmental studies; the publication of NSAI CPR audits; and gearing up for the planned farm out campaign, which commenced in late Q2 2013.
Publication of Competent Person's Report (CPR) data | |
In April 2013, a CPR on the Basal Wealden Sands was issued by leading international audit firm Netherland, Sewell & Associates Inc (NSAI). This audit validated the significant volumetric and recoverable resources of the Basal Wealden sands at Barryroe. |
As a result, the updated total on block audited resource figures for Barryroe now stand at:
2C STOIIP of 1.048 billion barrels | ||
2C Recoverable Resources of 346 MMBOE | ||
311 MMBO & 207 BCF gas in solution (or 34.5 MMBOE) | ||
The audited resource figures exclude an additional 778 MMBO STOIIP (P50) identified by Providence in logged hydrocarbon bearing intervals, within stacked Lower Wealden and Purbeckian sands |
In July 2013, the Company released summary details of the financial CPR for the Basal Wealden sands only, as prepared by NSAI. These show the net contingent cash-flows attributable to Providence's 80% interest, after providing for tax and the 4.5% NPI payable to San Leon Energy.
Prepared on range of cases, and on an undiscounted and discounted basis, the results were as follows:
NET CONTINGENT | ||
PVR CASHFLOWS | 80% | DCF |
(US $ Millions) | TOTAL | @ 10% |
1C (Low Case) | 2,732.0 | 709.7 |
2 C (Best Case) | 10,660.4 | 2,627.8 |
3 C (High Case) | 28,214.4 | 6,990.3 |
Evaluation of Jurassic potential | ||
During the period, studies were carried out on the deeper Upper Jurassic potential, which the Company had previously postulated to exist below the Barryroe oil field and which was thought to have material upside resource potential. During 2013, an evaluation of the previous Esso operated 48/22-1a well, which lies c. 20 km west and down-flank of the Barryroe Field in the adjacent Licensing Option 12/04 (Providence 80%, Operator), was undertaken. This new analysis has highlighted a c. 300' gross interval of Upper Jurassic Tithonian aged hydrocarbon bearing sands with c. 70' of net pay, averaging 12% porosity. These sands, which were not tested at the time, may exist beneath the target depth (TD) of the current Barryroe wells, thereby adding even further resource potential to the known Barryroe Purbeckian and Wealden hydrocarbon bearing intervals. In addition, it is notable that the 48/22-1a well had to be prematurely abandoned having encountered a significant 14 pounds per gallon (ppg) pressure kick, with hydrocarbons circulated to surface from a glauconitic bearing Jurassic sandstone at TD, which was not logged due to operational constraints and safety issues. These data suggest that there could also be the potential for a further deeper Jurassic shallow water marine hydrocarbon bearing system below the Tithonian. |
Farm out process | |
Having issued the NSAI Resource CPR, the Company commenced an industry wide farm out campaign on Barryroe. Following an advisor selection process, Rothschild was appointed to advise the Company on this farm out process. Whilst confidentiality provisions and commercial considerations prohibit the identification of the companies involved in this process, interest levels have been high, with approximately a dozen companies having reviewed the data - with these companies representing a good cross section of leading, international E&P companies. Discussions are ongoing, with the Company working to conclude discussions over the coming months. |
MULTI-BASIN DRILLING CAMPAIGN |
The first half of the year saw a continuation of the Company's multi-well drilling programme offshore Ireland - the only new drilling activities taking place offshore Ireland. Following the successful appraisal drilling of the Barryroe oil field in 2012, the Company continued with drilling operations at the ExxonMobil operated Dunquin North exploration prospect in the southern Porcupine Basin, the second well in the Company's $500 million, six well drilling programme.
Dunquin North (PVR 16% Interest) | |
Drilling operations on the Dunquin North exploration well, situated on the northern flank of the c. 700 sq km intra-basinal ridge system in the southern Porcupine Basin, were completed on 15th July 2013, having reached a final total depth of c. 16,400 feet MDBRT. The primary Lower Cretaceous Dunquin target was encountered within the pre-drill depth prognosis and comprised a thick over-pressured carbonate reservoir system. The well was terminated having drilled a total thickness of c. 800 feet of massive porous carbonate reservoir. Preliminary well analysis indicated the reservoir to be water bearing - however, petrophysical log interpretation, elevated gas levels, together with oil shows in sidewall cores over the upper 144 feet section of the reservoir, is interpreted to represent the presence of a residual oil column. As the first well to be drilled in this large deepwater basin, the results from the Dunquin North are a qualified technical success as they have demonstrated that all of the key components of a working petroleum system exist in the southern Porcupine Basin. As the largest acreage holder in the southern Porcupine Basin, with interests in Dunquin South (16%), Drombeg (80%) and Newgrange (40%) and Cuchulain (3.2%), the confirmation of an oil prone petroleum system, compared to the pre-drill gas prognosis, is very encouraging and further work is being carried out on in order to characterise this newly emerging petroleum system. Based on the extensive post well analysis being carried out, an application has been made to extend the second phase of this frontier exploration licence by 12 months to November 2014. This post well evaluation will shed important new insights on the adjacent Dunquin South prospect (c. 900 MMBOE REC P50), as well as the nearby Drombeg, Newgrange and Cuchulain prospects. |
Spanish Point (PVR 32% Interest) | |
The third well in the planned programme is the Spanish Point appraisal well (100 MMBOE REC 2C), located in the northern Porcupine Basin. This well, which is currently scheduled to be drilled in early Q2 2014 using the Blackford Dolphin semi-submersible drilling rig, will be operated by Cairn Energy Plc. Cairn which, when it farmed into the Spanish Point licence acreage (FEL 2/04, FEL 4/08 & LO 11/2) in April 2013, assumed operatorship of the entire Spanish Point licence area. This appraisal well, which follows on from the original discovery well in the 1980s, is being drilled on 3D seismic (acquired in 2008) and is designed to establish flow rates and volumetric upside (estimated additional c. 100 MMBOE REC). The partners have also elected to convert the adjacent LO 11/2 (Spanish Point South) area into a Frontier Exploration Licence and are planning to acquire a c. 500 sq km 3D survey over the area. |
| |||
In addition to the planned drilling at Spanish Point, works continue for the preparation of drilling activities on the remaining three wells in the current programme: | |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
Further appraisal/pre-development drilling may also be undertaken at the Barryroe oil project in the Celtic Sea Basin (PVR 80% interest), at the discretion of incoming farminees. | |||
As always, the timing of all planned drilling, site and seismic activities is based on relevant permit requirements and appropriate equipment availability/procurement. | |||
OTHER FUTURE DRILLING OPPORTUNITIES |
Looking further ahead, the Company continues to advance other prospects towards future drilling. These include Drombeg in the Porcupine Basin, Newgrange in the Goban Spur Basin and Pegasus in the St George's Channel Basin.
Drombeg (PVR 80% interest) | |
Currently held under Licensing Option 11/9, the 872 MMBO REC (P50) Drombeg oil prospect is the subject of farm in discussions with a number of international companies. The results of the offset Dunquin North well are extremely encouraging for the Drombeg prospect given the evidence of oil generation and entrapment in a similar aged section. In addition, the over-pressured reservoir conditions indicate that the shared Lower Cretaceous top seal, which is significantly thicker at Drombeg, is currently integral. Given these new data, together with the scale of this very large oil exploration opportunity, the Company and its partner, Sosina (20%), have elected to convert this Licensing Option into a Standard Exploration Licence and are planning to acquire a new 3D seismic survey over the prospect, prior to drilling. |
Newgrange (PVR 40% interest) | |
The Newgrange prospect, which is held under Licensing Option 11/11, is operated by Repsol (40%) with Providence (40%) and Sosina (20%). Similar to the Drombeg prospect, a decision has been taken to convert this Licensing Option into a Standard Exploration Licence with plans for further 2D seismic acquisition in advance of any exploratory drilling. The recent results from the Dunquin well have led to a re-appraisal of hydrocarbon type (from gas to oil) with volumetric quantification currently under review. |
Pegasus (PVR 100% interest) | |
The Pegasus prospect, in which Providence currently holds a 100% equity stake, is being prepared for exploration drilling in 2015. This large gas prospect (250 BCF GIIP) would benefit from any infrastructure established for the planned development of the adjacent Dragon gas field. The Company is undertaking a farm out process for all of its assets in the St George's Channel. |
Other Celtic Sea Assets (PVR c. 72.5% interest) | |
The Company is in various stages of discussions on the potential to farm out its other Celtic Sea assets, including Hook Head (PVR 72.5% interest), Dunmore (PVR 72.5% interest) and Helvick (PVR 62.5% interest). The success of any of these farm outs are contingent on commercial terms being satisfactorily agreed and the approval of partners and regulatory authorities. |
Atlantic Margin | ||
Finally, as part of its ongoing analysis of the conjugate Atlantic Margin plays, especially following on from the technical results from the Dunquin North well, a number of new opportunities are being evaluated on the Atlantic Margin, both in Ireland and further afield. |
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIALS |
SALE OF ONSHORE UK ASSETS TO IGAS ENERGY PLC |
On September 28th 2012, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with IGas Energy Plc to divest its UK onshore production and development assets (Singleton, Baxter's Copse and Burton Down) for a total gross consideration of US$ 66 million. This transaction, which closed in February 2013, allowed for the repayment of all outstanding indebtedness to Deutsche Bank of $44 million, leaving the balance of the gross sale proceeds of US$ 22 million available for general working capital purposes. The transaction resulted in the Company being debt free.
