Coastal Energy Announces Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results & Operations Update
Coastal Energy Company 12.08.2013 22:05 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOUSTON, 2013-08-12 22:05 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coastal Energy Company (the 'Company' or 'Coastal Energy') (TSX:CEN) (AIM:CEO), an independent exploration and production company with assets in Southeast Asia, announces the financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. Q2 2013 Financial Highlights -- The Company reported Q2 total production of 23,843 boe/d, up 10% from year ago levels of 21,713 boe/d. Offshore production totaled 21,095 bbl/d, a 9% increase from year ago levels of 20,778 bbl/d. Offshore production was affected by mechanical downtime on two horizontal wells at Bua Ban North due to problems with a new completion technology. One of these wells has since been repaired and is performing in line with expectations. Onshore production was 2,748 boe/d, up 16% from 2,362 boe/d in the same period last year due to stronger natural gas demand in Thailand. -- EBITDAX for Q2 2013 was $83.3 million, a 36% decline from the $130.2 million recorded in Q2 2012. The decrease in EBITDAX was driven entirely by the timing of crude oil sales, as the Company recorded an increase in crude oil inventory of 526,017 bbl during the second quarter, the revenue from which will be recognized in the third quarter. -- Cash flow from operations per fully diluted share was $0.82, a decrease from the year ago level of $1.18, also driven by crude oil sales timing and the inventory build. -- After normalizing revenue to a production basis, rather than based on lifting volumes, Q2 2013 revenue would have been $188.6 million, a 3% increase over year ago levels, driven by a 9% increase in production volumes and offset by a 5% decline in commodity pricing. Operations Update The Company has completed repair work on the first of two horizontal wells at Bua Ban North that experienced issues with the 'swelling packer' completion. The repair work on the second well will be completed with a hydraulic workover unit later in August. The Company also drilled two additional water injection wells at Bua Ban North B for pressure maintenance in two separate fault blocks. The Manta drilling rig is currently being mobilized to Malaysia to begin the work program at the Kapal field. The Company has begun to build on the success of its pilot hydraulic fracturing program which was completed in the first quarter. A total of five wells at Bua Ban Main have been sidetracked and the new wellbores have been designed to optimize fracture completion results. The frac equipment is expected to arrive in mid-August and the first frac well is expected to be onstream by early September. Offshore production averaged 20,290 bbl/d for the month of July. Offshore production was affected by 3 days of downtime at the Bua Ban North B platform in July to bring the newly drilled water injectors onstream. Onshore production for July averaged 2,012 boe/d, lower than previous months due to normal seasonal maintenance at the Nam Phong plant, bringing total Company production to 22,302 boe/d for the month. Randy Bartley, President & CEO of Coastal Energy commented: 'The first half of 2013 has met us with both continued success along with some operational headwinds. Total Company production for the second quarter increased 10% year over year, but offshore production has been affected by some operational and mechanical issues. Our previously expected offshore production ramp up has been further delayed by damage that was sustained to the two Mobile Offshore Production Units ('MOPUs') which were scheduled to be placed in service by the beginning of the third quarter. This has delayed initial production in Malaysia and the start-up of Songkhla H production in the Gulf of Thailand by approximately one quarter. Onshore production remains strong and has grown 16% year over year, and we expect onshore production levels to remain elevated. 'During the second quarter the Company re-initiated its Normal Course Issuer Bid to repurchase up to 5% of the Company's outstanding shares. Management believes that this is an effective and accretive use of free cash flow at current market prices. The Company has already repurchased 259,800 shares at an average price of C$15.30. 'Although the Company has encountered some operational challenges in the first half of 2013, these have largely been resolved and we expect continued growth as we continue to develop and explore our asset base.'
