PetroNor E&P ASA is pleased to confirm that 466,116 bbl were lifted from the Djeno Terminal as planned during the last week of October at a realised price of USD 92.41/bbl.
The realised selling price is based on the average spot price for a period which included several days after the lifting, and was confirmed to the Company today. Adjusted for a crude price discount to Brent and lifting costs, this generates a cash inflow of approximately USD 43.1 million to the Company.
Separately, the Company announced on 11 October 2022 the transfer of 334,061 bbl of oil stock entitlement to the PNGF Sud operator in settlement of outstanding billings. The indicative price used to determine the quantity of barrels for this arrangement was USD 95.00/bbl. Although the number of barrels is fixed, the price per barrel will be adjusted to the actual spot price when this oil entitlement is physically lifted by the PNGF Sud operator, scheduled for later this month.
Together, these two arrangements will realise the benefit of selling 800,177 bbl for the year to date period, at an expected average selling price of USD 93.49/bbl. Last year, a total of 831,089 bbl were lifted at an average selling price of USD 69.31/bbl. The Company will update the market once the price for the settlement-in-kind barrels is confirmed.
