Highlights
EBITDA of USD 33 million with one lifting completed
Re-start of Dussafu drilling campaign
Hibiscus/Ruche development progressing ahead of plan
- Completed one lifting of 0.65 million bbls (net BWE) at a price of USD ~67 per barrel
- Average daily production of ~13,600 bbls/day gross
- The Hibiscus Extension appraisal well did not contain hydrocarbons
- Progressing preparations for Hibiscus North exploration well
- Managing and closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on operations
Zero-harm objective for people and environment


Minimizing impact to environment

Working for local society Sound governance

- First LTI recorded in March for ongoing reactivation work of Hibiscus Alpha
- No incidents nor spills to the environment
- Implemented security measures due to recent piracy cases in the Gulf of Guinea
- ‒ Current security risk status at Dussafu is considered low
- COVID-19 still affecting general execution and in particular FPSO operation and modification work
70-80%
Estimated GHG emission-savings from redeployment of existing FPSO1 vs. newbuild
1) FPSO BW Adolo case study based on Co2 emission tied to steel consumption and operations
Production outlook

Gross production estimate bbls/day1 Net production estimate bbls/day1



Dussafu
Stable operations and restarting Tortue phase 2
- Q1 gross production 1.22 million bbls, equal to ~13,600 bbls/day
- Q1 OPEX at USD ~23 per barrel including USD 1.0 million of additional COVID costs
- The COVID-19 pandemic continues to restrict execution of work on the FPSO beyond day-to-day operations

Quarterly gross production (kbbls/day) Actual and planned quarterly lifting schedule to BW Energy:

Hibiscus Extension (Mupale) - Preliminary Results
- The well location was chosen to test both the Mupaleand the Hibiscus Extension prospect interpretations
- Well results closely matched the pre-drill prognosis for all shallower formations
- The primary target Gamba Sand was encountered 2,908 meters depth, in line with expectations
- The zone exhibited stratigraphy very similar to the Hibiscus discovery well, DHIBM-1, but was waterbearing for the Gamba and Dentale targets
- The Hibiscus 2P gross recoverable reserves of 46.1 million barrels established by the DHIBM-1 well and its appraisal side-track are unaffected
- The results will not affect the sanctioned Hibiscus/Ruche development project

Hibiscus / Ruche progressing well


- Development project ahead of plan with first oil targeted in Q4 2022
- Majority of contracts awarded, and tenders received for outstanding scope
- Jack-up conversion reduces investments, time to first oil and environmental footprint of the development
- On track for ~USD 100 million CAPEX reduction
- Revised development CAPEX gives:
- ‒ Reduced cash break-even of USD ~25 per barrel
- ‒ 15% IRR at <USD 30 per bbl
Next exploration well - Hibiscus North


- Geological analog to the Ruche Field
- ‒ Gamba: primary target
- ‒ Dentale: secondary target
- Aims to test the interpretation of both legacy and reprocessed seismic
- Well cost estimate USD 18 million
- ‒ Appraisal sidetracks ~ USD 9 million each
- Estimated potential reserves of 10 to 40 million barrels of oil
Exploration program

- Planning two exploration wells per year for the coming 4 years
- Next exploration well is Hibiscus North
- Hibiscus South planned to be drilled from Hibiscus Alpha later
- Work ongoing to high grade the next 8 targets for 2022 and onwards
- Significant long-term development potential


Maromba
Progressing Maromba to FID

- Field Development Plan approved by ANP
- Completed environmental base line study
- ‒ Progressing project towards environmental approval (IBAMA)
- Continuing to optimize field CAPEX, OPEX and time to first oil
- Independent assessment of primary Maastrichtian sandstone P50 oil-in-place at 495 mmbbl with 2C reserves at 98 mmbl
- On track to FID for phase 1 in Q1 2022 with a breakeven below USD 40 per bbl oil price while achieving 15% IRR (incl. remaining acquisition costs)
