Highlights
EBITDA of USD 22.2 million with one lifting completed to BWE in Q3 2020
Strong cash position of USD 145 million
Investment project execution awaits lifting of COVID-19 restrictions
- Ensuring health and safety of all stakeholders while maintaining uninterrupted operations amid COVID-19 pandemic
- Planning for restart of Tortue Phase 2 drilling and tie-in operations
- Progressing preparations for Hibiscus/Ruche development with reduced CAPEX and time to first oil
- Acquired jack-ups to lower Hibiscus/Ruche development costs by USD 100 million and further enhance Dussafu value potential
Zero-harm objective for people and environment
Minimizing impact to environment Working for local society Sound governance
- Continued focus on resource efficient developments based on reusing existing offshore assets – jack-up purchase
- Supporting local communities in Gabon, Brazil and Namibia
- Zero LTI in the third quarter
- Zero environmental incidents in the third quarter
Estimated GHG emission-savings from redeployment of existing FPSO1vs. newbuild
1) FPSO BW Adolo case study based on Co2 emission tied to steel consumption and operations
Well positioned in current oil demand and price environment
- Predicting future energy demand and the oil price carries a lot of uncertainty
- Significantly reduced future price expectations compared to the beginning of the year
- BW Energy's strategy is to be robust at levels well below current oil price and have excellent returns at the current Brent forward curve
- Focus on reducing break-even and using the market downturn and asset repricing to ensure delivery on strategy
- Cost efficient oil and gas to remain a substantial part of energy mix in the foreseeable future
Dussafu
Stable operational performance
- Q3 production 1.42 million bbls, equal to ~15,500 bbls/day gross
- Q3 OPEX at USD 19.6 per barrel, down from USD 21 per barrel for 2019
- Full year OPEX expectation increased from USD 17-18 to USD ~19 per barrel
- ‒ Impact from extended COVID-19 costs and restrictions
- ‒ Production impact of complying with OPEC quotas
Restart of Tortue development activities
- Completion and tie-in of Tortue phase 2 wells DTM-6H and DTM-7H
- ‒ LOI in place for Borr Norve drilling rig
- ‒ Tentative drilling start late March 2021

Significantly improved Hibiscus / Ruche economics
Hibiscus Structure Map – Reprocessed Seismic
- Jack-up conversion reduces investments, time to first oil and environmental footprint of the development
- Revised development CAPEX gives:
- ‒ Reduced cash break-even of USD ~25 per barrel (Brent)
- ‒ 15% IRR at <USD 30 per bbl (Brent)
- Exploration activities focused on unlocking the significant additional reserves indicated by seismic re-processing and the successful Hibiscus exploration well drill in 2019
Conversion concept with multiple benefits
- Acquisition of two jack-up drilling rigs for a total of USD 14.5 million
- ‒ 2003-built sister rigs Atla and Balder, Friede& Goldman JU 2000 DESIGN
- Atla MODU conversion to Hibiscus Alpha offshore installation (OI) engineering project started
- Substantial reduction of field development CO2 emissions compared to a newbuild platform
- ‒ Less seabed invasive as no need for piling for stability
- Reduced CAPEX by USD ~100 million
- ‒ Substantial reuse of existing MODU facilities excluding drilling package
- ‒ Reduced installation cost as a jack-up can "self-install"
- Reduced time from project execution start until first oil

- One lifting completed in August
Quarterly gross production (kbbls/day) Actual and planned quarterly lifting schedule to BW Energy:
Gross production profile
USD per bbl 60
Attractive Dussafu economics at current oil prices
- Full year OPEX expectation of USD ~19 per barrel
- OPEX expected to decline to approximately USD 11 per barrel at FPSO nameplate capacity
Significant remaining potential
Large inventory of exploration prospects and leads
- The large portfolio of prospects and leads suggests a program of two exploration wells per year for the coming five years with a potential to add up to 100 million barrels of reserves
- Initial two exploration wells included in current drilling rig LOI
Maromba
Progressing Maromba towards FID
- Field Development Plan for Maromba approved by ANP
- Project team progressing project towards environmental approval (IBAMA)
- ‒ Site and soil survey planned for Q4 2020
- Project and field economics enhancements are ongoing
- ‒ Optimising CAPEX and OPEX
- ‒ Reducing time from execution start to first oil
- ‒ Assessing life extension program for Polvo FPSO
- ‒ Pursuing tax reductions by marginal field status
- On track to FID for phase 1 in a sub-USD 40 per bbl oil price environment while achieving 15% IRR (incl. remaining acquisition costs)
